UltraCruz® Equine Pure Flax Oil Supplement for Horses

  • Excellent source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
  • Helps balance dietary essential fatty acid ratio
  • Contains pure Flax Oil for healthy, "cool" calories
  • Supports healthy skin, hair and hooves

UltraCruz® Equine Pure Flax Oil Supplement for Horses is a feed supplement that provides a source of pure, cold-pressed Flax (Linseed) Oil in the form of a palatable liquid that serves as an excellent source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids for horses. This supplement is ideal for horses that are lacking Omega-3 Fatty Acids in their diet, or consuming a diet with an imbalanced ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 Fatty Acids. An equine diet with a balanced fatty acid ratio is essential for supporting healthy skin, coat, and hooves.

Flax Seed is a rich source of the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, which is classified as an Omega-3 Fatty Acid. Flax Seed is one of the greatest plant sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids and also contains protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Flax Oil is a natural supplement that supports the skin and coat, and promotes stronger, crack-resistant hooves. It is also a great source of "cool calories" for performance horses, working horses, and horses with nervous tendencies.



Omega Fatty Acids in the Equine Diet

About Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Historically, under natural conditions, horses consume an approximately 5:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6, which is the ratio found in grass and green hay. The modern equine diet, which is primarily grain-based, has a low (less than 1:10) ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. UltraCruz® Equine Pure Flax Oil Supplement for Horses can help achieve the desired ratio of fatty acids in the diet to maintain balance and support horse health.

Advantages of supplementing Omega-3 Fatty acids in horses:

  • Essential fatty acids for healthy skin and a glossy coat
  • Supports energy production for horses in heavy work
  • Omega-3 fatty acids to maintain pliability and hoof moisture

Totally love your products! Jumping Jack Flash, my Clydesdale stallion this year, is on your UltraCruz® Pure Flax Oil. He is 27yrs old. Thank you for your quality products.

The UltraCruz® Equine Pure Flax Oil has the right amount of Omega 3 and 6 to provide my horse with the essential omegas she needs for energy, healthy hooves, skin & coat. I’ve been using this product for over 6 months now and love what I’m seeing.

Denise

My horse has been hauled thousands of miles this summer so I feed the UltraCruz Equine Wellness/Joint Care to keep him healthy and the UltraCruz Pure Flax Oil keeps him slick and feeling good.

UltraCruz® Equine Pure Flax Oil is one of those invaluable supplements that you should not go without. Very high in antioxidants, it does wonders for putting the bloom and weight on for that overall vitality necessary for rigorous competitions. Love that SCAH offers it in the pure form as a little bit goes a long way.

If I leave this outside in the heat for my horse to eat in his feeds, how fast will it go bad? It normally takes him a month and a half maybe longer to finish it.

I read that this is to be stored in a cool, dry place but there is no cool, dry place at my barn during the Wisconsin summer. There is no refrigerator on the premises. What do you recommend for situations like this? And what about winter?

I've always understood that flaxseed oil needed refrigeration and goes rancid quickly with exposure to air. Does this product need to be refrigerated? Once opened, how long does this last before going rancid?

I've been looking for a source of flax seed oil to give to my dog. I've given it to her before & it really helps her skin. I assume that there is no difference between this and other animal approved sources of flax seed oil.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Only Pure Flax OIl I've found I bought this 1 year ago and couldn't be happier with it. I had been looking for pure, food-grade flax oil for quite some time, but couldn't find it. So, before now, I had to settle for blends. But, all the blends have the wrong omega - they have omega-6 (i.e. from soybean or sunflower oils) and I only wanted omega-3 for my horses. I use this oil just to bind my powder vitamins & ground flax seed to grass pellets so my horses (3 beautiful, Gypsy Vanner boys) eat every last bit of their vitamins/supplements. This year, for the first time, my boys shed out perectly, have incredibly shiny coats, perfect hooves & they are extremely healthy. So happy with this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cost effective fat supplement Having multiple horses in my care, I'm always looking for ways to save money that doesn't compromise the integrity or quality of ingredients in what I'm using. Prior to purchasing this supplement, I was using a very popular, big brand, pelleted fat supplement that my horses were doing very well on. I switched them over to this, and they are doing just as well, if not better and it's much more cost effective than what I was using before. I appreciate the quality of the ingredients in Ultra Cruz products. They will continue to be a staple on the shelves in my barn.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product - Superior Difference Tried several other flax supplements and haven't really noticed a change with my horses. Some supplements have been powder, some oil. I've seen a noticeable difference in overall demeanor, coat, hooves in just a month. This is a very high quality pure flax seed oil. Customer service is excellent too, my order shipped right away. Love this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Picky horse approves! I have a particular picky senior horse that's been having summer allergy issues. The vet recommended trying a flax supplement to see if it would help anything. I tried two other brands of flax and the horse wasn't having it...to the point of literally dumping his bucket over on the ground in disapproval of his new "meal". A friend of mine let me sample some of her Ultra Cruz Pure Flax oil as I was afraid like most other things, my horse wouldn't eat it. Much to my shock, he didn't bat an eye and gobbled his food down, even licking the bucket clean afterward. So happy to have found a flax supplement he's willing to eat so that I can follow my vets recommendation to see if it helps with his allergies or not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love that this is 100% flax oil. UltraCruz was the best price for pure flax oil and my horse is doing great on it. I have never been disappointed in any of the UltraCruz products I've tried!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product... I've tried several high quality, very expensive oils and not noticed a difference over a period of time in my mare's coat. I started using this Pure Flax Oil a month ago and her coat is amazing. Great for adding Omega 3's and a super value for a top quality, PURE product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super product! Great results!! I couldn’t keep weight on my 31 year old gelding, and his coat was lacklustre. I did some research on supplements and learned about the benefits of flaxseed oil. The local stores only carried oil blends, which were expensive and contained only a small percentage of flaxseed oil. So glad that I found this SCAH flaxseed oil. It didn’t take much to put some much needed weight on my boy. The flaxseed must be helping with his joints because he runs around and plays like a 3 year old colt now. His mane, tail, and coat are incredibly shiny. Thanks SCAH!!!
