Why Omega Balance Matters

The Essential Role of Fatty Acids in Your Horse’s Diet

Essential fatty acids are called essential for a reason.

Your horse’s body cannot produce Omega 3 or Omega 6, yet these nutrients play a vital role in supporting:

• Inflammation control
• Respiratory comfort
• Healthy skin and coat
• Gut function
• Overall condition

Many commonly used oils are high in Omega 6. While Omega 6 plays an important role in your horse’s physiological processes, too much can work against a healthy inflammatory balance. Omega 3 helps regulate the inflammatory response, which is why it’s important to include both in the correct ratio when supplementing with oil.

Apex’s Omega Complete Oil provides a targeted blend of fatty acids, including Omega 3, 6 and 9, in a balanced 1:1 Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio to help restore dietary balance, while ensuring optimal calorie intake to support sustained, slow-release energy.
