FORTAN Spirulina for dogs and cats - microalgae, strengthens the immune system

In general, FORTAN Spirulina is recommended for dogs with lack of energy, dull coat, brittle claws, anaemia, allergies, gastrointestinal and digestive problems.

Spirulina does not cause any undesirable side effects even when taken over a longer period of time and is well tolerated.

Over 60 vital substances and bioactive compounds

Spirulina contains over 60 vital substances and bioactive compounds. Its protein content of about 60 % is unique. Spirulina contains 19 amino acids, eight of which are essential: Isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.

The numerous enzymes found in the microalgae influence all metabolic processes, regulate inflammatory reactions, control the flow properties of the blood and strengthen the body's own defence system.

The vitamins and minerals contained in spirulina

• E protects as an antioxidant against free radicals and improves the utilisation of oxygen.
• B1 (thiamine) ensures good brain function
• B2 (riboflavin) fulfils important functions for skin and eyes
• B3 (niacin) improves blood circulation
• B5 (pantothenic acid) and
• B6 (pyridoxine) support the nervous system
• B12 (cyanocobalamin) promotes blood formation
• Calcium stabilises bone density
• Iron enables oxygen transport to the cells and prevents anaemia (spirulina contains 45 times more iron than spinach)
• Potassium regulates the water balance
• Magnesium strengthens the heart
• Manganese stimulates the immune system

Protects against inflammation, stimulates the body's own defences

Also contained are chromium, germanium, copper, selenium and zinc, which stimulates the body's own defences and regulates wound healing.

The essential fatty acids present in spirulina, especially gamma-linolenic acid, are also of great value.

Spirulina is also rich in beta-carotene, phycocyanin and chlorophyll. The green pigment chlorophyll is a blood former and activates the oxygen supply of the cells.

Spirulina has a cleansing, restorative and strengthening effect, sanitises the intestinal flora (accelerates the build-up of lactobacilli) and protects against inflammation.

Spirulina is able to bind toxic substances in the body and excrete them via the liver and kidneys.
