Linseed Oil
Description
Linseed oil is extracted from the seeds of the flax plant and is particularly rich in unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Linseed oil contains a particularly high percentage of linolenic acid (up to 70%), oleic acid (16%), and linoleic acid (15%).
Properties
The omega-3 fatty acids contained in linseed oil have anti-inflammatory properties and can therefore contribute to joint flexibility.
Thanks to its antioxidant properties, the vitamin E contained in linseed oil can help to support a strong immune system and protect the cell walls.
Possible uses
Due to its naturally ingredients (Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin e), linseed oil in specific doses can have beneficial effects on supporting joint flexibility in horses and promote an overall cell-protecting effect.
Important to know
Linseed oil is one of the few plant-based oils in which the proportion of omega-3 fatty acids exceeds that of omega-6 fatty acids
