Hemp seed pellets for horses - 100% natural & full of vital nutrients
SPARROW CannaHorse® Organic Hemp Seed Pellets are naturally rich in essential amino acids, fatty acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins and trace elements and contain high levels of omega fatty acids, "complete" proteins and high quality vegetable fibre. They also contain excellently digestible fibres. The pellets are easily digestible, support the absorption of nutrients and increase mental focus.
Unlike hemp leaves and hemp flowers, the hemp seed and its products contain virtually no THC and also no CBD or other cannabinoids. The hemp seed pellets therefore have no intoxicating effect and do not make you "high".
The organic hemp seed pellets are demonstrably very tasty and are also well eaten by fussy horses.
They support the immune system, metabolism, muscle development and condition & endurance. In addition, the natural dietary fibres support digestion and the gastrointestinal tract. They are easily digestible, support the absorption of nutrients and increase mental focus. The fatty acids in organic hemp seed pellets help to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Gamma-linolenic acid
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is one of the most valuable fatty acids for supporting the immune system. It is mainly found in mother's milk. Hemp is one of the very few natural sources of GLA. In sufficient quantities, GLA can significantly improve the appearance of the skin and coat. In addition, GLA activates the metabolism considerably and this can have an effect on a healthy balance of hormones.
A GLA deficiency can lead to various problems such as premature ageing as well as digestive and skin problems. It is therefore important to give the animal enough hemp seed pellets. Preferably daily.
Hemp seed pellets also contain vitamin E and vitamin A (carotene). These are antioxidants that help the immune system fight free radical damage. Free radicals occur when the horse ingests toxins from vaccines, chemicals, pesticides, processed foods and pollution. They cause oxidative stress in the horse's body and damage cells, proteins and DNA. Antioxidants help keep free radicals under control, promoting good health.
Other advantages at a glance
- Excellent source of linoleic acid: Hemp seed pellets contain high levels of the essential omega-6 fatty acid whose name is linoleic acid (LA). Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid and is the most important omega-6 fatty acid for animals because it is used to produce other omega-6 fatty acids. Since animals cannot produce it themselves, they have to get it from food. Linoleic acid is also particularly important for the health of the skin and coat in horses, as it makes the skin permeable to water.
- Very easy to digest: The hemp plant is full of fibre. This is good news for horses, especially those with digestive problems who already have a hard time extracting and digesting nutrients from their food.
- Contains valuable protein: Hemp contains more protein than any other plant source, with the exception of soy. However, hemp is a far better choice than soy because there are massive problems with feeding soy to animals, including food intolerances. Hemp can contain up to 33g of protein per 100g of seed!
- Packed with vitamins and antioxidants: Hemp contains the minerals calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, vitamin E, B vitamins (including folic acid) and a host of antioxidants. Hemp is also the only known plant food source that provides vitamin D3.
- Gastrointestinal support: Hemp provides beneficial dietary fibre that can help remove toxins from the gastrointestinal tract and regulate the digestive process.
- Supporting heart health: Studies on animals and humans have shown that hemp seeds can help promote a healthy cardiovascular system due to their content of plant fibres, proteins and healthy fat.
