Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds are one of the healthiest, most nutrient dense foods on earth, and are especially great for horses.

Chia Seeds may be used as a natural replacement for many supplements because they already contain many of the same nutrients. As a natural product, Chia Seeds are more palatable for horses and easier to digest.

Below are some of the nutritional properties found in chia:

• Naturally high in Omega 3 (higher than most oils)
• Contains balanced ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 (3:1)
• Promotes skin, coat and hoof health 
• Rich source of Vitamin B
• Immune system booster 
• May assist with allergies 
• Natural calming effect due to high magnesium levels

• Contains antioxidants 
• Quality source of minerals and trace minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc and copper
