Why Hemp?
Hemp is a complete plant-protein that is completely digestible in the hind gut and free of phytoestrogens. Hemp does not have to be heat-treated for digestibility, making it a less processed and more stable product. It does not contain trypsin inhibitors, an enzyme inhibitor which can cause gastric upset and reduces the digestion of protein.
Hemp Seed Oil is the only plant-based oil available for horses that contains the ideal ratio of Omegas and GLA (gamma linolenic acid). Hemp has one of the lowest levels of unsaturated fat and highest levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids of any vegetable oil. High in digestible protein, hemp contains all ten of the essential amino acids.
