What is Camelina Oil?
Share
Camelina oil, derived from the Camelina sativa plant—commonly known as false flax—has recently gained attention in the equine world. Originating in Europe, Camelina has been utilized in natural medicine for its numerous health benefits. Although it was previously overlooked as a dietary supplement, its rich nutritional profile makes it a valuable addition to any horse's diet.
Why Camelina Oil is a Game-Changer
- High Omega-3 Content
- Camelina oil stands out due to its exceptional omega-3 fatty acid content, boasting levels up to 45%. This concentration of omega-3s is rare among plant-based sources, making Camelina oil a unique supplement for enhancing your horse's health.
- Nutritional Benefits
- Cold-pressed Camelina oil is packed with omega fatty acids, which are crucial for maintaining cell membrane structure. These fatty acids contribute to improved exercise stamina, reduced heart rate, enhanced immune response, and better insulin sensitivity.
- Vitamin E Benefits
- Camelina oil also contains two forms of vitamin E—alpha and gamma tocopherol. These antioxidants not only protect the oil from oxidation but also extend its shelf life to over 18 months. Combined with its omega properties, vitamin E helps improve skin conditions and shields against free radical damage.

The Importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for a balanced diet, offering several benefits for your horse. They reduce inflammation, which can alleviate stiffness and arthritis, enhance mood stability by supporting serotonin pathways, and improve digestive health. Omega-3s also contribute to a better coat condition and skin health.

Why Choose Camelina Oil for Your Dog?
Camelina Oil provides a natural, plant-based solution to support your dog's joint health and overall well-being. The anti-inflammatory properties of Camelina oil help reduce joint discomfort and improve mobility, especially for dogs with arthritis or those recovering from injuries. It also supports skin health, enhances coat condition, and boosts the immune system, offering protection against common health issues such as allergies.
The Importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining your dog's health, offering several key benefits.

Omega-3s also support a healthy coat, improve skin conditions, and promote better digestive health. Additionally, they assist in balancing mood and behavior by supporting serotonin pathways.

The Role of Omega-6 Fatty Acids
Necessary but Balanced
While omega-6 fatty acids are often considered pro-inflammatory, they are essential for a well-rounded diet. They play a role in immune system stimulation, electrolyte balance, and digestion. Proper dosing of omega-6 can also aid in weight gain by promoting fat buildup.
