About Wellpride

The developers of Wellpride Omega-3 for Horses were scientists: two physicians and several veterinarians from the United States and Norway. They pooled their extensive medical knowledge and experience in human and equine medicine with their backgrounds in research and product development.

Good for humans, even better for horses

They had noted the extraordinary health effects of omega-3 fish oil for humans, dogs, cats and birds, and wondered if the effects might be similar for horses. Despite over 25,000 research studies on humans and domesticated animals (including cattle), there was little data regarding the potential benefit of fish oil for horses.

The rest, as they say, is history. After first determining that modern horse feeds generally lack omega-3, the doctors initiated a series of clinical tests and trials to determine whether adding omega-3 from fish oil to a horse's diet, in the weight-adjusted amount used in human clinical trials, might provide the same sort of marvelous benefits seen in humans. The test results were little short of astonishing. In many respects, horses seemed to benefit even more than humans.

Noted were improved breathing during exercise, fewer muscle and joint pains, better endurance, enhanced focus, and greater resistance to inflammation. Also noted were marked improvements in the horses' general appearance, demeanor and disposition.

The Norwegian source

With extraordinary benefits for horses clearly indicated, Wellpride turned its attention to finding a source. Naturally, Norway was at the top of the list (Norway is considered the premium source for fish oil worldwide).

Today, Wellpride is made from the highest-grade fish oil available, following GMP standards with an advanced purification process to remove all pesticides and heavy metal residues. A special natural fruit flavor that horses love is then added to this amazingly taste-free liquid. As a last step, to ensure freshness, Wellpride is bottled into month-size containers with most sales going direct-to-customer.
