Which do you prefer Linseed oil or Equi-Jewel for weight gain

[myhorses2015]

Which does everyone recommend the best thought its best to get reviews first before buying as very expensive!

Linseed oil or Equi-Jewel for older & bigger hprses for weight gain, did you use it in winter time? & how long until you started seeing results?

TIA

I tend to us Micronized Linseed in the summer and then up to Equi-jewel in the winter when he needs more. Both keep him looking incredibly shiny, the Equi-jewel just seems to be more calorific ��

I love Equi-Jewel. Worked so much better than Linseed oil for my boys.

I feed copra, linseed and equijewel - 3 feeds a day!!

Equi Jewel worked for me, better than linseed oil on a comparison for a 16.2 very underweight ISH.

However, if you go back to basics, then boiled linseed is best (IMHO)

Yes I'd noticed that as well!

I'm not new to the forums, just forgot my login after an extended break, so changed it. I have to say that I try to stay out of training conversations as I'm not up for the levels of BS that go on. (hence reason for extended break) ;-) I do read them with popcorn in hand when I'm up for a laugh.

I used equi jewel for weight gain and muscle build up and it worked really well. If I were to use linseed I'd go for micronized linseed but if you're feeling turmeric you need oil too, so linseed oil should work well. Have to say, I noticed more improvement with the equi jewel than with micro linseed but then again I didn't stick with the linseed for that long (got through a bag so probably a month's worth). I noticed improvement after a few weeks with equi jewel and stuck with that over the winter.
