The benefits of HEMP SEED oil for horses
​

Hemp seed oil is an ideal fat for horses. It has a high level of polyunsaturated fats and a low level of saturated fats.  It's an efficient source of dietary energy because it is cold-pressed from the hemp seeds at low temperatures, retaining maximum nutrient value.  

​Horses like it because it packs all those nutrients into a low volume dose and mixes well with their feed every day. Centaur Health's Hempseed oil is not chemically refined or genetically modified, and naturally contains the preservative and antioxidant, Vitamin E.


Hempseed oil has been used for thousands of years for its natural healing properties. It is being introduced to equine diets for its unique and highly nutritious omega fatty acid profiles.

​Benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for horses :
  • Reducing inflammation;
  • Supporting immune function;
  • Helping horse with allergies and skin conditions;
  • Improving respiratory issues and joint health; and
  • Contributing to positive reproductive benefits such as improved fertility, enriched colostrum quality, enhanced passive transfer of antibodies to foals, and increased sperm concentration, motility, and viability.​​

What sets hempseed oil apart from the rest?

Hemp seed oil contains GLA , gamma linolenic acid, which naturally delivers the ideal ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids. Finding this perfect balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids is important because too much of one fatty acid can stop the formation of the other, with potentially negative and inflammatory effects.
Current literature suggests that horses on high grain diets, with joint inflammation, dull coats or allergic skin conditions, will benefit from a hempseed oil supplement of optimally balanced omega fatty acids.  Centa-Hemp Hemp seed Oil provides this delicate balance.

Hemp seed oil and performance
"Dr. Tim Ober, USET veterinarian, conducted a small study in Florida in 2009 on hemp oil for the high performance jumpers" says Tigger Montague, Formulator. "What he found was that hemp oil helped to maintain muscle glycogen reserves, thus reducing muscle glycogen depletion and fatigue. 

Kentucky Equine Research States
Use of hemp products within the horse industry is on the upswing. While hemp and marijuana are both considered cannabis, hemp contains minuscule levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the well-known psychoactive substance found in marijuana.
“Hemp is hardy and fast-growing, and can be harvested for industrial and commercial products such as rope, clothes, paper, textiles, plastics, and biofuel,” noted Kathleen Crandell, Ph.D., a nutritionist for Kentucky Equine Research. For horses, the two primary uses of hemp include bedding and oil obtained from hemp seeds.
“Hemp oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their health benefits,” Crandell said. “Supplementing omega-3 fatty acids also helps balance the ratio of omega-3s and omega-6s in a horse’s diet and facilitates absorption of various fat-soluble vitamins, including A, D, E, and K, ” Crandell added.

Other benefits of omega-3 fatty acids include:
  • Reducing inflammation;
  • Supporting immune function;
  • Helping horse with allergies and skin conditions;
  • Improving respiratory issues and joint health; and
  • Contributing to positive reproductive benefits such as improved fertility, enriched colostrum quality, enhanced passive transfer of antibodies to foals, and increased sperm concentration, motility, and viability.
