EOC® for Inflammation

If you’re familiar with Equine Omega Complete (EOC), you already know its remarkable ability to support joint health and function in horses. But have you ever wondered why fatty acid supplements, like EOC, are so effective at managing inflammation? Let’s take a closer look at the intricate workings of inflammation:

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that inflammation is not inherently bad. In fact, it’s a crucial process that helps control infections and facilitates the replacement of damaged tissue with healthy tissue. Additionally, inflammation serves as a signal for your horse to take precautions and avoid overloading an injury, allowing it time to heal.

During the course of “healthy” inflammation, trauma or infection prompts the injured area of the body to produce signaling molecules known as cytokines. These cytokines interact with cells in the affected area, initiating processes that increase blood flow (often resulting in swelling) to bring in nutrients for repair and remove metabolic waste products. This process also involves the activation of enzymes that break down damaged tissue, paving the way for healthy tissue regeneration once the inflammation subsides.

One key aspect of healthy inflammation is its self-limiting nature. It naturally down-regulates as tissue repair progresses. However, there are instances when inflammation becomes uncontrolled, leading to prolonged tissue breakdown and disrupting proper tissue structure. Arthritis is a prime example of a condition that arises from disordered and uncontrolled inflammation. This is where fatty acids play a crucial role. When included in the diet, fatty acids become incorporated into cell membranes. During the resolution phase of inflammation, they are released and form compounds that either promote (omega-6 fatty acids) or resolve (omega-3 fatty acids) the inflammatory process.

A diet enriched with the right balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids helps regulate the inflammatory process, allowing it to perform its vital tasks and then resolve efficiently for tissue repair. Our research on EOC has demonstrated that it supports cartilage structure during inflammation, reducing damage to cartilage and significantly slowing down the progression of arthritis. EOC becomes your trusted ally in controlling inflammation and preserving cartilage health, contributing to your horse’s long and vibrant life.

Equine Omega Complete empowers your horse’s body to manage inflammation effectively and maintain optimal joint health. Together, let’s ensure a future of comfort, vitality, and soundness for your equine partner
