NUTRI-COAT provides essential fatty acids and their precursors such as Linoleic (Omega 3 series) and Linolenic (Omega 6 series) acids. For good
health, the balance of these fatty acids is important. It is from these fatty acids that animals will produce arachidonic acid, gamma linoleic acid (GLA),
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and decosahexanoic acid (DHA) which are used in the synthesis of prostaglandins. These have a major influence on skin health
and condition. If sufficient fatty acids are not available for their synthesis, conditions such as dry and itchy skin may arise. Other vital nutrients involved in skin health like biotin, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin E, supplement the action of essential fatty acids in maintaining the coat condition and balanced metabolism.
