Chia Seed

Omega-3 & Fibre Superfood

Chia Seed (Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family) is a nutrient-dense superfood supplying fibre, vitamins, minerals, protein and essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for horses.

Designed as a cool-calorie source of digestible energy that supports gut health, coat, hooves and metabolic health. The small seeds, about 1 mm long, are black or white and nutritionally very similar.

Nutrition

• Fibre 42%
• Omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of 3:1
• High-quality protein for hooves and hair
• Vitamins and minerals

Gut Support

Chia contains mucilage, a water-soluble fibre that holds up to 27 times its own weight in water. When wet, the seeds become coated in gel that adds bulk to the hindgut and may help prevent sand colic. Mucilage and quercetin, a biologically active flavonoid, help protect and heal the mucosal lining of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.

Metabolic Support

The high soluble fibre content slows glucose absorption, helping modulate insulin spikes – making chia a suitable choice for horses with metabolic conditions.

• Horses needing cool calories
• Horses at risk of sand accumulation

• Coat, skin, hoof and allergy support

Key Benefits

• Rich in omega-3 ALA for joint and muscle support and a healthy immune response
