Chicken

Chicken Liver

Egg
The egg is a complete protein packed with nutrients like Vitamin A, Folate, Riboflavin, Iron, Vitamin B12, Selenium, Antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, and Fatty acids.
Flaxseed
A healthy source of fiber to encourage regular gi mobility. Plus, flax is full of polyphenols, an antioxidant that defends against oxidative stress to decrease inflammation.
Sardines
An excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids and a rich source of bone-strengthening vitamin D and B12. The omegas in sardines also trigger metabolic function.
Ground Krill
Brimming with healthy Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) and an antioxidant with radical scavenging abilities hundreds of times more powerful than vitamin C, vitamin E, or beta-carotene.
Sea Salt
Salt helps cells move nutrients and waste where it needs to go.
Potassium Salt
A mineral that helps cells move nutrients and waste where it needs to go and generates insulin production to balance blood sugar levels.
Ground Egg Shell
The shell provides a whole food calcium source, and the membrane lining offers collagen, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and glucosamine.
Mixed Tocopherols
Part of the vitamin E family (akin to vegetable oil) & often used as a natural preservative to maintain freshness.
Zinc Proteinate
A chelated mineral bound to an amino acid that protects against oxidative stress. The standardized pet food requirements for zinc are based on the use of synthetics, real foods can’t meet that level of zinc.
B Vitamins
Niacin, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine, and Folic Acid are incredibly fragile B vitamins. They help a variety of enzymes do their jobs, so food more easily turns into energy in the body.
Kelp
Naturally high in antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s a natural form of iodine.
