What is it?
Pure Linseed Oil is a premium product produced by cold pressing whole linseed to produce a pure linseed oil.
It is the only Linssed Oil available that has the correct amount of Vitamin E added to achieve 1 unit of Vitamin E per ml of oil, as recommended by equine nutritionists.
High in beneficial omega 3 fatty acids, it supports general health and is ideal for a healthy coat, skin and for gaining condition in a safe way.
Linseed oil is also a concentrated source of energy so it’s very effective as an energy source for horses in hard work such as racehorses, especially for horses that are poor doers or do not like large feeds. In general half a scoop of oil would contain the same amount of energy as a full scoop of concentrates.
This is how Pure Linseed Oil compares to other oils.
