GREEN ALTERNATIVE PROVIDING EXTRA MEASURES OF NUTRITION.... WITH
NATURE'S INTENT IN MIND
Formulated by one of America's leading animal herbalists, Green Alternatives offers a synergistic balance of nutritive
herbs and spirulina in an easy-to-feed formula that is designed to compliment the natural diets of dogs and cats.
When added to your companion's home-prepared or premium natural pet food, this formula provides added measures
of systemic support in a food-like form that the body can freely digest and utilize. Unlike high-potency vitamin
supplements that may provide more nutrients than the body can utilize, Green Alternatives will not place an added
burden upon the liver, kidneys, and digestive system.
Made with the highest quality, certified organic herbs:
FLAX
Rich in dietary fiber and Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA's) that are critical in the development and maintenance
of a healthy nervous system, heart, immune system, öskin, hair, and nails. EFA's are also important in the
regulation of allergic responses--- such as those triggered by flea bites. The dietary fiber of flax and soothing
mucilage it contains is very soothing, cleansing, and supportive to the digestive tract.
BURDOCK
A plant food that is rich in vitamins and minerals, burdock has been used for thousands of years by herbalists
who recognize it's powerful antioxidant properties.
PUMPKIN SEEDS
Besides tasting good (to animals as well as people), the oil that comprises up to 50% of pumpkin seeds is very
rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. The seeds also provide a special combination of fiber, and a chemical
compound called cucurbitin. Herbalists believe that these constituents are useful for keeping intestinal parasite
populations (especially tapeworms) in check.
SPIRULINA
This blue-green algae contains one of the richest and most assimilable sources of vitamins and minerals in nature.
It is well described as a "super food". Up to 60% of spirulina's physical structure is the form of digestible
protein, and just 3 grams of the pretty blue-green powder may contain as much as 15,000 I.U.s of antioxidant beta-carotene
(vitamin A), 755 mcg. of vitamin B-Complex (including B-12), over 60 mg. of Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty
acids, and dozens of trace and essential minerals--- including as much as 12 mg. of calcium, 30 mg. of phosphorus,
and 45 mg. of potassium---for healthy bones and muscles. Spirulina is also a very rich source of chlorophyll---
the stuff that makes plants green. Chlorophyll is believed to protect cells against carcinogenic compounds.
GARLIC
A small amount of garlic contains considerable amounts of protein, fiber, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sodium,
vitamin A, thiamin, niacin, taurine, zinc, riboflavin, and dozens of other nutritive compounds. Plus, a single
clove of fresh garlic may contain as much as 100 mg. of sulfur compounds, all of which have been shown to possess
various immune system support and antioxidant qualities.

100 grams (about 5 ounces) of dried nettle can contain up to 30 gm (30% of it's weight) of crude protein, 2970
mg. of calcium, 680 mg. of phosphorus, 32 mg. of iron, 650 mg. of magnesium, 20 mg. of beta-carotene, and 3450
