Flaxseeds, as with any source of fat, aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, as well as other fat-soluble nutrients such as the increasingly popular turmeric (curcumin), Boswellia, and resveratrol.

Flaxseeds are also a terrific way to add protein, thereby boosting the diet's overall protein quality. When you offer a variety of protein sources, your horse's body has a large, varied, amino acid pool from which to choose for building and repairing tissues.

Flaxseeds are low in sugar and starch (2.6%), making them safe for horses with insulin resistance, PPID (Cushing's), and PSSM. They are high in fiber (47%) with a large amount of pectin and mucilage.These water-soluble fibers create a soothing gel inside the digestive tract.

Flaxseeds are low in potassium, making them appropriate to feed to horses with HYPP.

There are several benefits associated with Omega 3 fatty acids:

Immune function - Joint and Ligament integrity - Allergies to seasonal pollens and sweet itch - Respiratory and gastrointestinal health - Hair and hoof strength - Energy needs for athleticism - Tying up prevention - Insulin resistance reduction - Protein boost to repair tissue
