What is PowerStance®?
• Powdered Coconut Oil
• A rich source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MTCs)
• High energy (29.4MJ/kg or 3.18MCal/lb)
• PowerStance contains 70% natural coconut oil
• Brilliant coat, mane and tail condition
• May conserve muscle glycogen, allowing horses to train harder for longer
• MCTs comprise lauric and capric acids which may have antimicrobial actions (i.e anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal)
• Assists in maintaining appetite and natural digestive function

Why feed oils?
Oil is 2 to 3 times more energy dense than cereal grains - so you can feed less oil to give the same amount of energy. This is especially useful for those horses that won’t eat when in training. Feeding oils may help to give coat, mane and tails a healthy and glossy appearance.
Which Oil is Best?
Most commercial equine feeds contain polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) including soy, corn and ricebran oils. These polyunsaturated fatty acids may cause an Omega 6 and Omega 3 imbalance. These oils are metabolised slowly through the lymphatics, prone to rancidity, and contains a high level of Omega 6 which may cause inflammation.

Coconut oil is a saturated oil which is absorbed directly into the portal blood and provides a ready source of non glucose energy. Saturated oils promote greater storage and utilisation of muscle glycogen in horses during exercise, this means the horses may work harder for longer.
