Scientists around the world - in Japan, China, India, Europe, Russia, and the USA, are discovering how and why Spirulina is so effective for human and animal health.There are now hundreds of published scientific studies all over the world revealing that by feeding spirulina to mice, hamsters, chickens, turkeys, cats, fish and humans - has confirmed that the unique phytonutrients in Spirulina can improve immune system function.

Directions for using Spirulina for your Dog or Cat

Spirulina is naturally in a very concentrated form, so a little goes a long way.

For dogs the size of a Retriever you need only 1-2 teaspoons of Spirulina per day with food. 

Smaller breeds require a lesser quantity

For cats just an 1/8 of a teaspoon of Spirulina is enough with their food.

Spirulina also works well on horses!

Spirulina complements any Weight Loss or Detox program, and as Spirulina is very alkalising it is therefore most helpful with any digestive complaints such as Candida.
