- Rapeseed oil contains the lowest amount of saturated fats amongst vegetable oils.
- Omega 3 - can aid heart function and blood flow around the body.
- Omega 6 - can also assist heart and blood flow. Too much Omega 6 can also restrict the intake of Omega 3. The variety we grow offers a 1:1 ratio of Omega 3 and 6.
- Omega 9 (Oleic acid/mono unsaturated fat) - Acts as an anti-oxidant, which enables it to adjust the free radicals in the body, thereby making the metabolic system more efficient. The oil contains good levels of Vitamin E, an essential dietary nutrient for horses. This has been shown to have high importance in breeding, both in terms of fertility and during gestation and lactation. Decreased levels of Vitamin E have been implicated in the etiology of muscle damage i.e tying up.
- Molten R-Oil - combines a balance of all the best aspects of a vegetable oil in its oil profile. As can be seen from the table, it has the optimum profile of any vegetable oil available on the market today.
