HORSE
All Horses
need the added nutrition that is in Chia Booster. Due
to the unnatural environment of our horses, there are nutritional deficiencies
in their diet. The knowledge coming from expert nutritionists and
their studies teaches us that we need to supplement their normal food/feed
so as to supply the missing nutritional elements. The principle elements
that are necessary for a balanced equine diet are: water, energy carbohydrates,
fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins. Chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.)
is a new product in equine nutrition and contains higher levels of Omega
3 (ALA), protein, fat and fibre than other products on the market. Chia
seed provides adequate levels of many of these ingredients without having
to grind it before use. Additionally the seed can be stored for long
periods of time without going rancid due to its naturally high antioxidant
content.
Omega-3’s play a crucial role in the molecular foundation that makes up animal bodies, with essential fatty acids being a key component of the membranes of every cell in the body. These help create a healthier immune system. Research has proven that Omega 3’s are converted in the animal body from ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) to EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) with these fatty acids having been shown to reduce inflammation and aid with arthritis, among other things. Adding Omega 3’s to your horse’s diet balances the abundance of Omega 6’s they are now getting and returns their diet to a more natural state. This may result in more energy along with a calming effect.
Today’s diets are loaded with unnecessarily high starch levels and tend to overload the intestines causing colic or laminitis. Increasing the fat and soluble fibre content of your horse’s diet by adding Chia Booster will help alleviate intestinal overloads. Chia Booster’s soluble fibre also helps to prevent colic by forming a gel-like substance which traps and helps to prevent impaction. Lowering the intake of glucose (molasses) and balancing your horse’s diet with Omega 3’s and fat will help to eliminate the peaks and valleys which occur because of glycemic spikes. The result will be a calmer horse which is more focused.
Chia Booster contains natural antioxidants that work to prevent free radicals from damaging cells and destabilizing tissues. Free radical production is increased by overexertion, disease challenge, radiation and poor nutrition. Antioxidants help prevent the disruption of the use of lipids and proteins in the body, which in turn affects resistance to stress and disease. The antioxidants found in Chia Booster also help strengthen your horse’s immune system.
The ultimate goal of feeding Chia seed is to replace all the other additives, hence being able to use one efficient feed to provide the nutrition necessary for your horse.
The best way to give your horse the highest quality nutritional additive with the healthiest content necessary for growth and development is to add Chia Booster to your feed program. You will see the difference!
