[RC] Flax question for Dr. Garlinghouse - Jennifer Fleet

Yep, another question for Dr. G....  :)

Dr. Garlinghouse, have you heard of the product Nutra-Flax by HorseTech?  They 
claim that their flax product is stablized, even though it is already 
processed.  I was told that the seeds are not actually ground, but more like 
"sliced" so the OFA's stay intact and no benefits are lost.  Do you have any 
opinion in this?  The link is here:

They also add calcium to it, and say that flax seed alone has an unbalanced 
Calcium/Phosphorous ratio.  ??

My gelding gets alfalfa/bermuda mix in the a.m., and orchard/timothy in the 
p.m., so I don't think I'd need any extra calcium....

Anyway, was just wondering if any pre-processed flax product could really be 
stabilized like the site claims.

Thanks!
Jennifer
