Chia de Gracias Finnish Hemp Crush is a 100% natural and nutritious dietary supplement for horses and dogs, made from whole, crushed oilseed hemp seeds. Since the whole seed is used, its natural content of omega fatty acids, protein, fiber, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals is preserved.
The crushed texture makes the seed’s nutrients more easily accessible than in whole seeds and is particularly practical for older horses or other animals that do not chew whole seeds as effectively.
Naturally rich in omega fatty acids
Hemp seeds are naturally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, along with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid (SDA), among others. Fatty acids are important components of cell membranes, among other things, and are a natural part of the nutrition needed for healthy skin, coat, mane, and tail.
Fat is also a concentrated source of energy, making hemp meal an excellent choice for active and hard-working horses and dogs.
Hemp also naturally contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect the body’s cells against oxidative stress.
Protein and Amino Acids
The protein in hemp seeds contains all essential amino acids and consists mainly of the plant proteins edestin and albumin. Amino acids serve as building blocks for the body’s proteins and are important for, among other things, the normal maintenance and growth of muscles and other tissues.
Crushed hemp contains approximately 21.8% crude protein and therefore provides fat, fiber, and protein as part of the daily diet.
High-Fiber Supplement
Hemp Crush is rich in fiber and provides both soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber is an important part of a horse’s diet and is essential for normal intestinal function and the structure of the feed mass.
The product does not need to be soaked and does not form a gel; it can be fed as is or mixed with the horse’s or dog’s other feed.
