Fish oils contain the essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), EPA and DHA have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that not only improve joint health, but also improve immune function, protect cell membranes from oxidative damage, improve central nervous function, cardiac and digestive health. EPA and DHA improve elasticity of Red Blood Cells. During exercise blood volume increases, placing enormous strain on the tiny pulmonary capillaries. The Increased elasticity facilitates easier passage of RBC through the blood vessels; therefore, reducing the incidence of EIPH (exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhaging). Additional benefits of Fish Oil includes reproductive capacity improved with stallions fed diets rich in EPA and DHA and lactating mares passed these essential fatty acids to their milk, improving immunity in their colostrum.
