The Green Ox | Evening Primrose Borage Oil

Evening primrose oil and borage oil are the superheroes of omega-6 fatty acids ! They're packed with essential fatty acids that your horse can't produce on its own. Because these fatty acids are essential for a healthy diet, it's important to supplement them, especially if your horse doesn't get them from its regular diet.

The oils are rich in the polyunsaturated fatty acids GLA ( gamma-linolenic acid ) and LA ( linoleic acid ). GLA plays a vital role in the health of your horse's mucous membranes, skin, and even hormones. Linoleic acid is also found in other plant oils, but evening primrose and borage oil are the 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 achieve the ideal balance of LA and GLA!

Your horse can convert some of the linoleic acid in evening primrose oil into GLA, but an extra boost from this oil blend is always welcome. Evening primrose borage oil is part of the Gut Recovery Plan and is used in step 1 of the 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 you also ensure radiant skin and a nice, supple body. Win-win!
