Tree Barks Powder (Slippery Elm+)
The two powdered tree barks in this product provide a food for the specific nutritional purpose of reducing acute intestinal absorptive disorders and to compensate for maldigestion. These mucilaginous ingredients are also suitable to be used during periods of acute diarrhoea and in the recovery period following it.
Due to its soothing properties, high digestibility and low fat content this product is ideal for those with intestinal disorders or poor digestion, it soothes the entire digestive tract and helps slow the passage of food through the system, so increasing absorption, firming stools and easing the discomfort that often accompanies intestinal disorders. The ingredients are a natural source of anti-inflammatory, pain relieving and soothing compounds that bring relief to animals suffering from these type of conditions. Due to its easy digestibility Tree Barks Powder has also been used when weaning young animals and to aid convalescents during the recovery period following illness.

Kelp Seaweed Powder
A dietary supplement that provides essential nutrients. Fucus vesiculosis is the variety of kelp we use as it is a particularly rich source of minerals due to its high level of organic compounds and particularly its significant iron and iodine content. Our kelp is from deep sea unpolluted sources to ensure the highest level of purity. It provides all 37 minerals and trace elements required to maintain a healthy metabolism and so is a valuable all round mineral supplement. Promotes dense coat growth and helps to maintain good pigmentation.
Kelp Seaweed Powder is finely powdered so it can be easily added to the daily feed. It may also be used as an alternative to our Kelp Seaweed tablets if preferred, although it does not have the same potency as the tablets which also contain concentrated Fucus extract. Suitable for use both as a natural mineral supplement and to promote good thick coat growth and maintain pigmentation, especially when given during the winter months.
Ingredient: Finely powdered Fucus vesiculosis, conforming to British Herbal Pharmacopoeia standards.
