Vitamins and Minerals for supporting Liver Health
Supporting the Liver and Nourishing your dog’s body with the best quality whole food supplements
For your dog’s body to heal itself, you need to assist it by giving your dog the best quality foods available. Keep in mind that it is the body that orchestrates healing as it obtains energy from nutritional components. By flooding your dog's body with easily assimilable nutrients from real foods and whole food supplements you give their body the best chance to heal and regenerate.
Every molecule, in every cell in your dog’s body, originates from the food they eat, the water they drink and the air they breathe. There can be no doubt that the absence of certain essential nutrients can lead to a predisposition to illness. Degeneration takes place gradually, often over a period of time as a result of nutritional deficiencies. However, by feeding your dog quality foods, you may assure their body’s ability to prevent, arrest, and often reverse most degenerative conditions including bladder, kidney and liver conditions.
As we mentioned before, nutrients are best utilized by the body if they are in their whole food and enzymatically active state. Therefore whole food concentrates are the best solution to address nutrient deficiencies.

The nutritional supplements we recommend are made with natural, organic, and wild-crafted whole foods. They include some of the most nutrient rich and extremely health-supportive groups of foods available: Oat sprouts, wheat grass, sprouted spelt, quinoa sprouts, green oat grass, flax seeds, wild-crafted microalgae, red algae, kelp, dulse, barley grass, bee pollen, etc.
High quality, nutrient rich super-foods such as wild-crafted microalgae are an economical and convenient way to ensure that every day your dog is consuming an entire range of unique superfood nutrients. They do not replace regular fruits and vegetables in your dog’s diet. They simply allow your dog’s body access to fascinating, extremely health-supportive groups of nutrients. Mix these whole food supplements daily into your dog’s diet.
Think of the wild-crafted micro algae as nutritional life assurance. It is a fantastic source of vitamins, digestive enzymes, minerals, amino and fatty acids and trace minerals like selenium and chromium, rarely found in modern-day soils. It is rich in chlorophyll, vitamins, including A,B,C, and the entire B-complex, especially B12, minerals including calcium, iodine, sodium, potassium, magnesium, absorbable organic iron, and trace minerals.
Wild-crafted microalgae from Upper Klamath Lake:
Not all algae supplements are processed the same. The brand of microalgae that we recommend is dried at low temperature so the enzymes and the nutrients of this food are not inactivated or destroyed. Several companies who harvest this algae from Upper Klamath Lake spray-dry or flash-dry the algae. This kind of food processing involves heat. High pressures, at specific points in the drying process, typically heats algae up to 500 degrees F. and even as high as 600 degrees F. for short periods of time. At other parts of the spray-drying process, temperatures can remain at or below physiological norms. However, damage to the enzymes and nutrients only takes one brief moment.

Recent studies conducted by different universities proved the incredible benefits of wild-crafted microalgae for your dogs’ health.
Following are a summary of a few of these studies:
• In a study performed at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal
(Manoukian et al., 1998), it was discovered that eating wild-crafted microalgae triggered the migration of 40% of the circulating Natural Killer cells from blood to tissue within 2 hours of consumption. Tissue is where Natural Killer cells do their work!
Many substances such as green tea and ginkgo biloba are known to improve the activity of NK cells. But until this recent finding on wild-crafted microalgae, no dietary substance was known to stimulate NK cells to migrate into the tissues to search out and destroy sick/diseased cells.
• A double-blind placebo-controlled study conducted at the Royal Victoria Hospital, affiliated with McGill University in Montreal, included 50 healthy participants. Results suggested that wild-crafted micro algae may help stimulate the increased production of red blood cells, an effect that may be due to its high content of vitamin B12.
• A recent study performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital, affiliated with Harvard University revealed that feeding wild-crafted microalgae to rodents significantly decreased blood cholesterol levels (Kushak et al., 1999).
• Another placebo-controlled study performed in collaboration with the University of New Mexico suggests that eating wild-crafted microalgae stimulates specific areas of the brain leading to increased cognitive function.
• A recent preliminary study from Boston University suggests that eating wild-crafted microalgae may reverse symptoms of essential fatty acid deficiency, specifically omega-3 (Kuskak et al., 1999). Deficiency in essential fatty acids has been associated with cardiovascular disease, certain forms of cancer, arthritis, depression and skin problems (Bruno, pp.7-32).
Clearly, wild-crafted microalgae offers some of the most beneficial nutritional components you can use for your dog’s supplementation. They replenish your dog with their vast reservoir of essential and many times hard-to-find nutrients.

The whole food supplements we recommend come in a
variety of options: easily opened capsules, and powder.
These are all made from natural, wild-crafted
and organic whole foods.
Hemp oil for essential fatty acids:
Since dogs with bladder, kidney and liver problems appear to not get enough essential fatty acids (EFAs) or have an imbalance of EFAs in their diet, one of the best food sources for regaining EFA balance is hemp oil.
Hemp Oil:
Udo Erasmus, a recognized authority on the subject of oils, recommends hemp seed oil because it contains omega-6 and omega-3 EFAs in a good balance: 3 to 1. Hemp seeds and hemp oil produce no drug induced “high” in animals. They do not contain the drug tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (Erasmus, p.289).
Here’s what Erasmus says about hemp oil:
“...hemp oil appears to be one of nature’s most perfectly balanced EFA oils. It contains both EFAs in the right proportions for long-term use, and also contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA). It is the only vegetable oil with this combination” (p.289).
When you purchase hemp oil, make certain you choose a product that is organically grown and cold pressed (not heated). A good brand is Nutiva and is available in health food stores or online.
A summary of the supplements you need to nourish your dog’s liver
• Wild-crafted microalgae
• Hemp oil from any health food store or online.
(We recommend that you start with specific products based on your dog's health and possibly add others as your dog’s body and his/her immune system get stronger).
