Features & Benefits of EPICOAT Equine Coat Nutritional Support

- Contains proprietary GLO-MEGA coat nutrition
- Longer shelf life as a result of peroxidation blockers

Omega 3 / Omega 6 Balance
Omega 3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory while Omega 6 fatty acids are pro-inflammatory. Horses on fortified grain without access to grass may be getting more Omega 6 fatty acids than they need. As a result, most horses need additional Omega 3 fatty acids to balance the ratio. EPICOAT has the highest concentration of Omega 3 fatty acids to Omega 6 fatty acids, thus making it easier to correct the imbalance.
