KELPis used holistically as a whole food Prebiotic and Probiotic nutritive, comprised of fish oil, fatty and amino acids, (including essential and non-essential amino acids like taurine and choline); and digestive enzymes, bio-available proteins, Vitamins C, E and K, all essential micro and macro vitamins and trace minerals (includingpotassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, niacin, folate, cholate, zinc, copper, chloride, sulfur, phosphorous, vanadium, cobalt, manganese, selenium, bromine, iodine, arsenic, iron, fluorine); disease fighting antioxidants, alginates plus phytonutrients such as lycopene, carotene and fucoidan (sulfated polysaccharides), naturally harvested in the Humboldt Current of Peru.
Combined these healthy plant chemicals may help provide powerful layers of nutrition which may help support immunity; may stimulate lymphatic cleansing and may help tone and support balanced glandular function and its rich mineral content may help may support healthy teeth as well as may reduce tartar and plaque build up, due to natural and healthy Bacillus lichenformis, a form of positive bacteria that activates an enzyme found in seaweeds that naturally helps remove plaque in your pet's mouth.
KELP may also help address symptoms of hypothyroidism by nutritionally and phytochemically helping nourish the thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands and may help maintain proper hormone production (which impacts other hormones, tissues and cells in an interdependent process and may help set proper metabolic rate, which can be especially useful in cases where weight loss is desired and obesity is present due to its thermogenic (fat burning) properties.

Did you know that sea vegetables are considered to be a bio-available whole food, also defined as a complete dietary source, which can be fed daily to dogs and cats? Sea vegetables have been studied for their positive effects on longevity, balanced immunity and general health and wellness. Many experts suggest that the rising rate of diseases and conditions in dogs and cats may be due to a lack of preventative nutrients in our pet's food. Often, commercial and holistic foods are missing vitamins, vital trace nutrients, and plant-based ingredients that are essential for canine and feline health.
KELP may provide necessary nutrients typically lacking in modern diets that feed critical organs of the lymphatic system including bone marrow, the spleen, thymus and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which is the lymphatic tissue associated with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which may help to provide biochemical support for healthy immune cells and tissues, and may help to support optimal immunity. Sea veggies are also rich in iodine which may support healthy endocrine gland and thyroid function. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)
Other primary therapeutic indications include use which may help support whole body systemic cleansing, particularly useful after steroid or antibiotic regimens as well as may help to remove heavy minerals from the animal body. Sea vegetables have been studied for their benefit in energy production and may be used as an adjunctive for Cushing's disease, and may be particularly useful for symptoms related to glandular disorder, hair loss and sores and in situations when electrolyte support is needed. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)
KELPmay also help support intestinal, digestive and immune balance, important with Cushing's and Addison's disease, as well as diabetes; and this plant powerhouse also attaches and removes lipids from the body, which may be useful in reducing high blood pressure, cholesterol and hypertension.

Secondary plant actions may also support holistic use for all types of Heart Disease; may be useful as a stroke preventative; may mitigate cases of hyperlipidemia, hypertension and all types of Lyme disease; may have diabetic benefits in helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels; may help normalize body temperature and may help maintain electrolyte balance.
Finally, secondary plant chemicals may support the holistic use in cases of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD); Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS); Fatty Liver Disease (FLD); Degenerative Myelopathy; for Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). * (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)
