While supplementation can never replace a variety of Species Appropriate™ foods, EarthGreens can provide additional benefits to your pet’s diet.
EarthGreens offers a range of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, co-factors, enzymes and bioactive compounds (1) (2) from whole food concentrates. Nutrients found in nature’s foods work synergistically and are highly bioavailable to the body.
While formulated supplements made from isolated nutrients are intended to replicate the function and structure of their natural counterparts, they cannot replace all the components that whole foods offer. Nature does make the best food-derived supplements!
EarthGreens is not designed to be a multivitamin/mineral formulation. It’s not designed to “balance” your pet’s diet or replace deficiencies. Instead, it’s a compendium of wholesome foods, carefully processed to maintain the dietary value of the raw food ingredients.
EarthGreens is quite simply an added source of nutrient-dense greens, seeds, vegetables and fruits from both the land and sea, for added variety in your pet's diet.
