Omega-3 in practice – RC O3 Algae oil

What is Omega-3?

Omega-3 is an important fatty acid that the horse cannot produce itself.
In nature, horses get omega-3 from fresh grass - but when they are fed wrap, hay or other roughage, some of the omega-3 may have been lost, or if they are given crib feed with a lot of grain or seed oils with a lot of omega-6, an imbalance can easily occur.


How much should my horse have?

👉 Dosage per 100 kg body weight per day:

  • Maintenance: 2.5–5ml
  • Competition/therapeutic: 5–10 ml
  • Skin problems (e.g. summer periods): 10 ml

➡️ A horse of 500 kg typically gets 12.5–25-50 ml daily , depending on needs.


Important to know

  • Every Day Happy contains only a little omega-3 from flaxseed and Supreme Minerals does not contain omega-3 → here you give RC O3 Algae Oil alongside if your horse needs extra.
  • Peak Performance already contains RC O3 Algae Oil → normally you don't need to add extra.
  • If the horse is picky about the taste: Start with a small dose and increase slowly – or give it directly into the mouth as a deworming treatment.

When is RC O3 Algae Oil an advantage?

  • For daily feeding: helps ensure a balance between omega-3 and omega-6
  • During training and performance: supports recovery and energy utilization
  • For fur, skin and hooves: can be seen as shiny fur, healthy skin and stronger hooves
  • For the immune system: provides the body with better conditions to function optimally

👉 RC O3 Algae Oil is a simple tool to give the horse the omega-3 fatty acids it may otherwise lack in daily feeding.
