Hippodan is based on natural ingredients and contains no cholesterol. Hippodan may be considered either as a supplement or as a replacement for up to 1 kilo of the coarse fodder given to the horse. However, Hippodan does not burn in the body in the same way as traditional oil.  

Positive components are accumulated and deposited in the cell membranes of the horse as energy reserves. And it is the liquid, unsaturated oil, which Hippodan consist of that has a very high level of the 2 vital fatty acids: omega-6 (linoleic acid) and in particular omega-3 (alfa-linolenic acid). The same 2 fatty acids that most horses get too little of.

The horses absorb the fatty acids in their cells and transform these into friendly hormones like prostaglandins. The process takes place in the vascular system and the kidneys and thereby regulates vital functions.
Vital fatty acids - what effect do they have?

             INcreased ability to perform

Hippodan
Hippodan is based on selected oil seeds from flax and rape. Lecithin has furthermore been added. The unique quality of Hippodan, compared to other oils, is its high content of omega-3 fatty acids.

Scientists are convinced that intake of omega-fatty acids and in particular omega-3 fatty acids will be for the benefit of any horse.

Lack of fatty acids on the contrary may result in a number of unfortunate consequences connected with vital processes in the nerve system, metabolism and cardiovascular system.

 Hippodan has a very high content of omega-3 fatty acids – and will improve results, persistence and immunity.
