Dear Friends,
As doctors, we are committed to research and scientific data. Yet, in our thirty years of family wellness practice, we’ve also seen new therapies, which have not yet been rigorously proven, provide immense benefit to patients.

In the world of veterinary medicine, you frequently see such leaps being made. Often a human medicine technology or therapy is successfully adopted ahead of double-blind studies on the animal in question. This is just the case with omega-3.

Today there are some 25,000 overwhelmingly positive studies regarding the effects of omega-3 supplementation, covering every system in the body. The majority of these studies were performed on humans, with the balance on dogs, cats, cattle, birds, and horses. What’s important to see here is that the results have been highly consistent across all these species… for example, improved joint health in human studies is matched in other species. In fact, metaphorically speaking, omega-3 is being shown to be like oxygen, in that it’s an elemental part of health, holding true whether you’re a human, or dog, or a bird, or a horse.
So although we’d certainly prefer to offer to you double-blind studies of the effects of omega-3 supplementation on horses for every single body system and ailment – from ulcers to joint health to brain function – we feel confident that our recommendation to you that supplemental omega-3 is highly beneficial to horses is a sound one. The science may be emerging, but the benefits have long been clear to users.

Kudos to you for being on the vanguard of veterinary medicine, and choosing the simple, safe, natural foundation of good health, Wellpride omega-3 for horses.

Take care,

2006 Wellpride American Eventing Championships

Stephanie Lawson, the publisher of Pennsylvania Equestrian magazine, told us she put her favorite polo pony, a 20 year old mare, on Wellpride to “try to get one more season out of her”. She loves to play, but had been off as much as sound recently. According to Stephanie, on Wellpride this gray mare became shiny for the first time ever, and was bounding happily up and down the field all season, focused and eager to play. The change was so dramatic, Stephanie has started her whole family, horse and human, on Wellpride and Omega Cure. Thanks for letting us know, Stephanie!

For sharing her Wellpride success story, we’ll send Stephanie a HorseFish tee.

Did you know that clinical studies on stallions show a clear connection between increased levels of omega-3 in the blood and fertility? Sperm output was approximately 40% greater, with improved viability, especially noticeable in frozen/cooled semen. Pilot studies show a similar effect on fertility for mares, especially those getting on in years or having trouble conceiving. And beyond fertility, omega-3 might make your foals perform better later in life. Clinical studies have shown increased coordination and IQ levels in human babies who received sufficient omega-3 in utero, and similar benefits have been observed in foals. Now’s the time to get your breeding stock on Wellpride.

We’re all tired of the cure d’jour, aren’t we? The latest supplement, the latest diet, the latest fad exercise. Sheesh. It’s enough to make anyone give up on health. So we like to practice full disclosure, so you know just what to expect from your Wellpride (horses) or Omega Cure (humans) supplementation:

1. Roughly one-third of our users report revolutionary, stop-the-presses changes in health. On the order of completely quitting a longtime daily Bute or Aleve regime for joint pain.

2. Another third have significant, noticeable changes. On the order of better dermal health (skin, hooves, etc) or more focused energy.

The last third have little noticeable change. But – and this is supported by doctors worldwide - often this one-third are the young-and-healthies, with supplemental omega-3 acting as a powerful health insurance against future problems.

Although the benefits of eating fish have been well-known for decades, fish oil supplementation is hitting new highs in the United States, for both humans and their animals. So how do you select quality with so many brand names to choose from? SMELL - When you open a bottle of Wellpride, you get a pleasant fruity aroma, the same thing your horse will taste. This ensures a high level of acceptance, and allows us to offer a money-back guarantee on palatability. LABEL - When you look at our label, you’ll see that Wellpride is certified to be toxin-free… no pesticides or heavy metals here. For maximum freshness, tighten the lid and keep Wellpride out of the sun. Most feed rooms are fine, but if you do have a fridge available during summer months, that's even better.
