De Groene Os | Evening Primrose-Borage Oil

Evening primrose oil and borage oil are the superheroes of omega-6 fatty acids! They are packed with essential fatty acids that your horse cannot produce on its own. Because these fatty acids are indispensable for a healthy animal diet, it is important to supplement them, especially if your horse does not get them from its regular feed.

The oils are rich in the polyunsaturated fatty acids GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and LA (linoleic acid). GLA plays an important role in the health of your horse’s mucous membranes, skin, and even hormones. Linoleic acid is also found in other vegetable oils, but evening primrose and borage oils are real winners when it comes to GLA content. Did you know that the GLA content in borage oil is three times higher than in evening primrose oil? By using a mix of both oils, you get the ideal balance between LA and GLA!

Your horse can convert part of the linoleic acid from evening primrose oil into GLA itself, but an extra boost through this oil blend is always welcome. Evening primrose-borage oil is part of the Gut Recovery Plan and is used in step 1 of 5 to support your horse’s health – a great start for recovery and maintaining vitality.

With evening primrose and borage oil, you not only give your horse a healthy dose of fatty acids but also ensure a radiant coat and a nice supple body. Win-win!
