OmegaPrime+

“For horses that could benefit from high-strength omega-3 support without the added calories, OmegaPrime+ provides concentrated DHA and EPA in every serving.” — Dr. Priska Darani, PhD Equine Nutritionist, Director of Research OmegaPrime+ Supports: Joint Health Skin Health Respiratory Function Metabolic Health Coat Quality Antioxidant Status Post-Exercise Care Reproductive Health Cardiovascular Health Immune Function OmegaPrime+ is an extra-strength omega-3 oil for horses that provides concentrated DHA and EPA without adding large amounts of oil to the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain a healthy inflammatory response, which supports joint comfort, mobility, skin and coat quality, respiratory function, reproductive health, and post-exercise recovery. OmegaPrime+ is beneficial for horses in work, senior horses, breeding horses, easy keepers, metabolic horses, and horses with limited access to fresh pasture. If you want your horse to look, feel and perform their best, consider adding OmegaPrime+ to their diet. Each serving provides 6,000 mg of DHA, 1,500 mg of EPA, and 6,900 mg of ALA from a blend of microalgae and flax oil. These omega-3 fatty acids are essential for supporting healthy cell membranes and normal inflammatory signaling. OmegaPrime+ also provides 750 IU of natural vitamin E to support antioxidant status. Because OmegaPrime+ is highly concentrated, it delivers advanced omega-3 support in a small daily serving. Compared to Mad Barn’s W-3 Oil, OmegaPrime+ provides 5x more long-chain omega-3s with 70% fewer calories per standard serving. This makes OmegaPrime+ ideal for horses that need targeted support without feeding unnecessary calories. OmegaPrime+ is a palatable oil that can be top-dressed onto any daily ration. It fits well into forage-based, low-NSC, and calorie-controlled diets for easy keepers, overweight horses, ponies, and metabolic horses. Why Use OmegaPrime+? High-Potency DHA & EPA Provides 7,500 mg of DHA and EPA per serving, which are the long-chain omega-3s actively used by the horse’s body. More effective than plant-based omega-3 oils, which supply ALA but not DHA or EPA. Formulated with microalgae-sourced DHA in a flax oil base for omega-3 support without a fishy smell or taste. Normal Inflammatory Balance DHA and EPA are incorporated into cell membranes, where they help maintain balanced inflammatory signaling. Helps counterbalance diets high in omega-6s from grain and vegetable oils, supporting the normal homeostatic regulation of inflammation. Joint Function & Mobility DHA and EPA help maintain normal inflammatory regulation in joints exposed to repeated loading from regular activity, training, and competition. Supports healthy cell membranes in cartilage, synovial tissue, and connective tissues involved in joint function. Helps horses maintain soundness and comfortable movement during regular work, aging, and higher training demands. Skin, Coat & Barrier Health Omega-3s are incorporated into skin cell membranes, helping support the barrier that keeps skin healthy. Supports coat quality, especially in horses on hay-based diets or with limited access to fresh pasture. Contains essential fatty acids that support normal sebum production, helping maintain a shiny, glossy coat. Respiratory & Cardiovascular Function Supports normal airway tissue and immune responses in horses exposed to dust, allergens, travel, training, or environmental stressors. Helps maintain cardiovascular function by supporting healthy cell membranes in blood vessels and circulating cells. Contributes to athletic performance by supporting normal respiratory function, oxygen delivery, and recovery after work. Calorie-Controlled Formula 70% fewer calories and 5x more long-chain omega-3s per serving compared to Mad Barn’s W-3 Oil. Fits low-NSC and calorie-controlled diets for easy keepers, minis, ponies, overweight horses, and metabolic horses. Delivers highly concentrated omega-3 support without relying on large amounts of added fat. Antioxidants & Muscle Health Each serving contains 750 IU of natural vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes from oxidative stress. Supports muscle health, immune function, and antioxidant status in horses in work, breeding, or regular maintenance. Exercise Recovery & Stress Response DHA and EPA support normal inflammatory regulation after training, travel, and competition. Helps maintain healthy cortisol responses during stressful events such as hauling, stall confinement, and changes in routine. Supports horses that need to stay comfortable, focused, and ready for consistent work. Breeding Support DHA is an important structural fatty acid in sperm cell membranes, making it useful for nutritional support in breeding stallions. Supports broodmares during breeding, pregnancy, and lactation, when omega-3 status contributes to mare and foal nutrition. What Makes OmegaPrime+ Different? Not all omega-3s are the same. Many omega-3 supplements for horses rely on flax or camelina oil, which mainly provide alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). While ALA is an omega-3, it is not an active long-chain form of omega-3 associated with the benefits horse owners are looking for. To provide effective results in the body, ALA must first be converted into the long-chain fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This conversion is limited in horses, so feeding more ALA does not always lead to meaningful increases in DHA and EPA in the blood. OmegaPrime+ is more effective because it provides DHA and EPA directly, in addition to ALA from flax oil. This gives your horse physiologically active forms of omega-3s to support normal inflammatory balance, joint function, skin health, respiratory performance, and overall cellular health. Other equine omega-3 supplements do provide DHA and EPA from fish oil, but these products can have a strong fishy smell or taste that many horses refuse. OmegaPrime+ uses microalgae-derived DHA and EPA, providing active long-chain omega-3s in a plant-based oil blend designed for better palatability. Compared to Mad Barn’s W-3 Oil, OmegaPrime+ provides a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids in a smaller serving. W-3 Oil is ideal for horses that benefit from added fat to support body condition and weight management. OmegaPrime+ is ideal for horses that need targeted support for normal inflammatory balance without adding as many calories from oil. Which Horses Benefit Most from OmegaPrime+? OmegaPrime+ fits easily into a wide range of feeding programs, including performance horse diets, forage-first diets and low-NSC feeding plans. While many horses can benefit from DHA and EPA supplementation, OmegaPrime+ is particularly useful in the following situations:   Easy keepers, ponies & overweight horses Provides concentrated omega-3 support without adding large amounts of calories to the diet, making it well-suited for horses that need nutrient-dense support in a smaller daily serving.   Metabolic horses Fits well into low-NSC, calorie-controlled feeding programs while providing direct DHA and EPA to support normal inflammatory balance, cardiovascular function, skin health, and tissue health.   Senior horses Supports normal joint function, mobility, skin health, immune defenses, antioxidant status, and normal inflammatory balance in tissues exposed to everyday wear.   Performance horses Helps horses deal with stressors related to training, travel, competition, and high workloads while helping maintain normal respiratory function and athletic performance.   Breeding stallions Provides DHA and EPA to support reproductive health and normal sperm cell membrane function, along with natural vitamin E to support antioxidant status.   Breeding mares Supports reproductive health, tissue function, and normal inflammatory balance during breeding, pregnancy, and lactation, while providing DHA for the developing foal.   Horses on hay-based diets with limited pasture Helps replace omega-3 fatty acids that may be lower in hay-based diets compared to fresh pasture, especially during winter, drought, stall confinement, or restricted turnout.   Horses needing skin, coat or respiratory support Supports healthy skin barrier function, coat quality, immune function, and normal respiratory health in horses exposed to dust, allergens, travel, or environmental stressors.
