New! Flora4 Greens Plus with sprouted Broccoli !
Our amazing Flora4 Ground Sprouted Seed mixes simplify the chore of effectively supplementing the live probiotics, plant enzymes, phytonutrients and whole food vitamins & minerals that are lacking in an all-meat diet. Flora4 contains only 100% raw organic sprouted seeds, making any raw diet easy and consistent. Our Flora4 Original formula is a blend of organic sprouted barley seed, flaxseed, and lentils, ground into a fine powder and packaged in daily servings. Our new Flora4 Greens Plus contains organic sprouted broccoli seed, pumpkin, peas, sunflower and chia. Mix formulas to give your pet the nutrition of 10 different seeds, or alternate.
You can use Flora4 whenever your pet needs supplemental enzymes and probiotics for a wide range of issues:
- During and after treatment with antibiotics re-seed the gut
- To correct intermittent diarrhea, constipation, gas and soft stools
- To aid digestion when transitioning from one diet to another for the first time.
- For immune support (sprouted Broccoli is great for this!)
- Relieve itchy skin, dry coat, yeasty ears
- Get up cat hairballs
You can add Flora4 to every meal to supply all your animal’s non-meat nutritional requirements. Or if you already mix foods like tripe, green leafy & root vegetables into your animal’s raw diet, try using Flora4 every couple of days to “fill in the gaps”. That way, you can be sure that you’re not missing any essential vitamins & minerals with your homemade recipes.
Your raw-fed cat can also benefit from the intense nutrition in Flora4. Be sure to add healthy sources of taurine such as organ meat – pork liver and duck liver are two excellent examples.
Flora4 is extremely versatile. It can be sprinkled into raw, home-cooked or commercial kibble to boost nutrition and complete the diet or raise the nutrition. If your main pet food contains vitamin/mineral additives, then you should consider supplementing the diet with doses of Flora4 every day or two, to make sure your pet is getting really bio-available nutrients from food, not just synthetics. Our testing has shown that dogs and cats love the mix of flavors from meat + our sprouted seed blend. Flora4 gives Raw feeders the convenient whole food supplement they’ve been waiting for — no need to use bottled synthetic products again!
Flora4 contains guaranteed levels of live probiotics (18 billion cfu/kg) and enzymes (1 million U/kg); effective doses of 26 essential vitamins & minerals; and high levels of Omega 6 & 3 fatty acids – all from raw food – that combine to provide a variety of health benefits for dogs and cats.
Flora4 Original ingredients: 100% raw ground USDA organic sprouted barley, sprouted flax, sprouted green and red lentil seeds. Flora4 Greens Plus ingredients: 100% raw ground USDA organic sprouted peas, sprouted chia, sprouted sunflower, sprouted pumpkin seed, sprouted broccoli seed.
