Omega-3

Linseed

Linum usitatissimum · Linseed oil

Mechanism

Leinsamen bzw. Leinöl liefert α-Linolensäure (ALA), eine pflanzliche Omega-3-Fettsäure. Omega-3-Fettsäuren werden im Zusammenhang mit Hautbarriere, Fellqualität und der Balance entzündlicher Mediatoren diskutiert. Beim Pferd ist die Umwandlung von ALA in EPA/DHA begrenzt.

Cautions

  • · Raw whole linseed contains cyanogenic glycosides — usually ground/heated
