Hi Derek,
Yes, certainly you can go with Glanzen instead of the Glanzen Complete. The only difference is that Glanzen Complete is well, more complete, but if your grass or hay is of good quality, the Glanzen will be fine.
PreOx is also flaxseed meal based, but because you feed less of it, the amount of omega 3 fatty acids are not as high. It is, however, an excellent source of antioxidants vitamin E and C as well as others, so it too can be used.
You will do your horse a service by choosing any of these supplements, so go with the one that suits your budget best.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
