Fucus vesiculosus is the Latin name for the variety of Kelp Seaweed that we use because it is a particularly rich source of minerals, and is known for its high levels of iron and iodine. It provides all 37 minerals and trace elements necessary to maintain a healthy metabolism and is a valuable all-round mineral supplement. Our pure Kelp Powder is finely powdered so that it can be easily added to the 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. Ideally give Kelp Powder from the autumn right through the winter months, as this is when all animals naturally experience greater coat growth as they develop their thicker winter coats. As well as promoting dense coat growth Kelp Seaweed also helps to maintain good pigmentation.
Ingredients: Pure Kelp Seaweed Powder (Fucus vesiculosus), conforming to British Herbal Pharmacopœial specifications.
