Cocosoya™ is an excellent source of easily digested, unrefined essential fatty acids from unrefined coconut and soybean oil. Essential fatty acids are the good fats that your horse needs for normal health, but they are not able to make this type of fat on their own.
Unrefined means that Cocosoya™ is mechanically processed (ie: pressed), not chemically processed like corn oil. Chemical processing can damage the essential fatty acids and leave a toxic residue in the oil, which can generate free radicals and inflammation. Mechanical processing means Cocosoya™ oil is at least 20% more digestible than chemically refined corn oil. Processed/refined corn oil, found at your local grocery store, has been altered from its natural state and may actually promote inflammation. It has had the essential fatty acids altered and natural vitamin E (a natural antioxidant) removed during processing. This altering of the natural oil is what contributes to so many dangerous situations, including excessive inflammation.
One of the greatest benefits of Cocosoya™ is the ability to digest slowly, which allows it to more effectively stabilize blood sugar levels when compared to corn oil. This is beneficial for all horses, especially insulin resistant horses. Blood sugar fluctuations can lead to inflammation, weight problems, stress, immune suppression, and other metabolic issues.
The big question everyone wants to know the answer to…which costs less? Looking only at price tags, Cocosoya™ and corn oil cost the same per serving. When you figure in all of the benefits of Cocosoya™, there is no cost comparison. The benefits of Cocosoya™ for your horse make it far less costly in the long run and you will be preventing higher costs in the future because Cocosoya™ will help keep your horse healthy.
Key Points:
Cocosoya™ can help stabilize and maintain weight for hard-keepers.
Cocosoya™ can be used to reduce excess weight in easy-keepers (stabilization of blood sugar).
Cocosoya™ may reduce the risk of colic.
Cocosoya™ can promote a healthy, shiny hair coat.
Cocosoya™ can contribute to healthy hoof growth and quality.
Cocosoya™ is an easily digested fat for keeping older horses in good condition. ™
Cocosoya is very beneficial for pregnant mares by reducing the stress of lactation and increasing the percent of fat in the broodmare’s milk and increasing the milk production to improve the condition and weight gain in the foal. ™
During training or performances, Cocosoya can improve energy metabolism for greater endurance without making the horse "hotter".
