Enhancing Equine Wellness: Why Ahiflower® Should Be Your Go-To Ingredient
In the world of equine nutrition, finding the perfect balance of ingredients to optimize health and performance is key. Among the long list of options available, Ahiflower stands out as a gamechanger in formulating equine products. With its numerous benefits and new offerings like crumbles and pressed cake, there’s no wonder many brands formulate with Ahiflower.
Ahiflower is a plant-based oil derived from the seeds of the Buglossoides arvensis plant. Unlike traditional sources of omega fatty acids like fish oil or flaxseed, Ahiflower contains a unique blend of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids in optimal ratios. This comprehensive profile supports various aspects of equine health, including joint/mobility function, immune support, coat condition, and overall wellness.
Natures Crops International has recently expanded its offerings with the introduction of two new products for the equine industry. Ahiflower® Omega Crumbles is an omega-rich feed/supplement ingredient produced from micronized seeds, using steam cooking and milling technology. Ahiflower® Press Cake is a mineral-rich meal produced as a co-product during the expeller pressing of Ahiflower seeds, making it a fully plant-based, upcycled ingredient. Both the Press Cake and Crumbles uniquely contain naturally high levels of silica and digestible calcium, beneficial for maintaining gastric pH balance. These ingredients are easily incorporated into feed, treat, and supplements products and are suitable for equine nutrition.
One of the standout benefits of Ahiflower is its superior bioavailability. Equine digestive systems can efficiently absorb and utilize the fatty acids present in Ahiflower, ensuring that horses receive maximum benefits for their dietary wellness. This enhanced absorption translates to noticeable improvements in performace and vitality, making Ahiflower a valuable addition to equine diets.
Adding to its value, Ahiflower’s sustainability credentials make it an attractive choice for equine brands. Cultivated on regenerative farms in the UK, Ahiflower offers a sustainable alternative to traditional sources of omega fatty acids. By choosing Ahiflower, equine brands can align themselves with environmentally responsible practices. It’s a win-win-win for the brand, the environment, and the consumer.
Ahiflower presents a compelling proposition for equine brands to elevate the quality and efficacy of their products. With its unmatched nutrient and omega-3-6-9 profile, bioavailability and sustainable credentials, Ahiflower is revolutionizing the plant-based equine industry.
