A. Fish oil is nature’s richest source of EPA and DHA. Botanical sources of omega-3 such as flax do not contain EPA and DHA instead they provide its precursor ALA. Mammals have a genetic make-up that severely limits the conversion of ALA into EPA and DHA thereby making plant based omega-3 far less potent. Equine Omega-3 is an excellent source of the omega-3 EPA and DHA and provides optimum benefits for a horse’s health.
