About the Natural Supplements
Seaweed contains more bio-available vitamins and minerals than any other class of food, and it is a natural source of Taurine (an essential amino acid for cats). It also provides electrolytes and boasts anti-microbial properties. Cats are better able to utilize the nutrients in seaweed because it’s low in carbohydrates and doesn’t present the binding and anti-nutrient issues of terrestrial vegetation.
Calcium Montmorillonite Clay is sought out instinctively by virtually all animals in the wild. It offers a host of minerals, aids digestion, detoxifies and possesses anti-microbial properties. It’s critical that Calcium Montmorillonite Clay be edible grade, certified pure, and stored properly.
My entire family, from people to pets, consumes both Seaweed and Calcium Montmorillonite clay on a regular basis… but don’t tell my teenager it’s in his spaghetti. 😉
