Linseed oil 1 ltr

First cold-pressed linseed oil is an important source of essential omega-3 fatty acids. It provides energy from fats and supports healthy digestion.

Linseed is the seed of the flax plant. Sectolin Linseed Oil is oil from the first cold pressing of linseed, which preserves important nutrients.

Linseed oil is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and is particularly rich in the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Fresh grass contains a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids, but a grain-based diet contains a relatively high amount of omega-6 fatty acids. Horses with little or no access to pasture and a high concentrate intake therefore often consume a disproportionate amount of omega-6. Omega-6 plays a role in the regulation of inflammation. An excess of omega-6 fatty acids can disrupt this regulation. In these cases, it is important to restore the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Linseed oil is therefore very suitable for rebalancing the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in a diet.

In addition to fatty acids, linseed oil naturally contains vitamin E, tryptophan, and various minerals such as iron, copper, and magnesium. Linseed oil helps soothe mucous membranes and plays a role in maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat.
