Green - Ulva lactuca We have studied and selected the seaweed/microalgae species that are most beneficial for pets and put them all into one custom mix. Each species is known for its unique properties and you won't find a blend more diverse or complete than this one. An example of the unique benefits found in each seaweed species or variety, was recently demonstrated in a Georgia Institute of Technology study. Though all the seaweed they studied was from a single species, the researchers were surprised to find two distinct groups of antifungal chemicals. From one seaweed subpopulation, dubbed the "bushy" type for its appearance, 23 different antifungal compounds were identified. In a second group of seaweed, the researchers found 10 different antifungal compounds — all different from the ones seen in the first group. ~ Warding Off Disease on Coral Reefs: Antifungal Chemical Cues in Tropical Seaweed, Georgia Institute of Technology Feed your pets what they'd select themselves in the wild, and in a form readily absorbed (without the cellulose binding of terrestrial plants). Seaweed boasts 56 bioavailable minerals and trace elements, and this unique blend is designed to be an exceptional source of B Vitamins, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Potassium, Iodine, Antioxidants, Enzymes, Protein and a long list of natural colour enhancers for your wet-pets. All seaweed has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasite and probiotic qualities. It is renowned for its ability to help balance the body's elements & electrolytes. Seaweed also cleanses the body of heavy metals and radiation (natural source of potassium iodide). Want some comparisons? Your pet would have to eat about 40 lb. of fresh vegetables and/or fruits to get as much iodine as you would from 1 gram of Kelp. How about four times the iron in Spinach, more calcium than Kale or Bok-choy, twice the magnesium of collard greens and more vitamin C by mass than oranges! Some science backing the health benefits of seaweed: This powdered Seaweed blend contains no preservatives or other additives, and none of the over-processing issues that impact or remove the natural nutrition in commercial pet food. Harvested fresh this season (you'll smell the difference!), it is blended and immediately sealed in food-grade bags to retain vitamin content. Seaweed powder can be fed directly to your pets or used in mixes and recipes. It is perfect for gut-loading/bio-encapsulating/dusting live food cultures for fish (such as feeder Shrimp, Black Worms or White Worms). White Worms even occur naturally in decaying seaweed, so you know they like it! Our human-grade* Seaweed Powder is brought in from across Canada, and the Spirulina is sourced in the US. The shipping costs alone for this many species is high, but you can get it all in one place! By cutting out the 'middleman' & elaborate packaging, we are still able to offer this blend of human-grade* Powdered Seaweed at a reasonable price. Because it is whole, nutrient-packed food, a little goes a very long way.
