What is Camelina Oil?

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.

Why Choose Camelina Oil for Your Horse?

"CamOlive™ adds more anti-inflammatory capabilities to Excel's Camelina oil, which allows for a quicker recovery of muscles post-workout. It also helps reinforce the immune system, which provides more protection against stomach irritation and ulcers."

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.

ExcelEQ ProElite™ Formula

Excel Supplements offers Camelina oil with a unique 4:1 omega-3 to omega-6 ratio through our ExcelEQ ProElite™ formula. This balanced ratio is one of the highest available in plant-based oils and supports optimal health by promoting a healthy inflammatory response.

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.
