How important is Organic Hebridean Ascophyllum Seaweed Powder for pets ?

• Aiding the Digestive System : Seaweed is high in fiber, which helps in digestion and prevents constipation. Fiber increases stool mass and makes stools move more easily. Additionally, it also promotes beneficial bacteria in the intestine, which aids in digestion and increases nutrient absorption. Proper digestion is essential for the health of pets because it ensures they get the necessary nutrients from their food. Moreover, it also reduces the risk of various diseases such as constipation, hemorrhoids, and colon cancer in pets.
• Reducing Cholesterol : Cholesterol is a fatty compound found in humans and pets. It can be classified into 2 types: good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL). Good cholesterol helps eliminate bad cholesterol from the internal organ cells of pets. Meanwhile, bad cholesterol accumulates in the walls of blood vessels, which can lead to heart and vascular diseases in pets. Seaweed contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to the health of pets, especially in helping to reduce blood cholesterol levels. The mechanisms include:
  • Reduction of Cholesterol Production in the Liver : Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is used in synthesizing cholesterol in the liver. This results in the liver producing less cholesterol.
  • Increasing the Elimination of Cholesterol from Internal Organ Cells of Pets : The enzyme LDL receptor is a protein embedded in the cell membrane of various tissues and plays a role in removing bad cholesterol from the body. Omega-3 fatty acids stimulate the activity of the LDL receptor, which helps eliminate bad cholesterol from the body. When the LDL receptor functions better, it helps remove more bad cholesterol from the internal organ cells of pets.
  • Transforming Bad Cholesterol into Good Cholesterol : Bad cholesterol (LDL) adheres to the walls of blood vessels, potentially leading to heart and vascular diseases in pets. Omega-3 fatty acids transform bad cholesterol into more water-soluble molecules, making it easier to remove bad cholesterol from the internal organ cells.
• Strengthening Bone and Teeth Health : There are various nutrients that benefit the bone and teeth health of pets. These include calcium, phosphorus, iodine, manganese, and vitamin C, which function as follows
  • Calcium and Phosphorus : They help strengthen bones and teeth. Calcium aids in forming the framework of bones and teeth, while phosphorus fortifies the structure of bones and teeth in pets, making them even stronger.
  • Iodine : It is essential for producing thyroid hormones, which aid in the growth and development of bones and teeth. Thyroid hormones stimulate the formation of strong bones and teeth.
  • Manganese : It is necessary for collagen production, which is a protein that strengthens bones and teeth. Collagen helps bind the bones and teeth of pets together.
  • Vitamin C : Essential for collagen production and iron absorption. Collagen binds the bones and teeth together, and iron contributes to the creation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen to the bones and teeth of pets.
• Nourishing Hair and Skin : Seaweed contains several nutrients beneficial to pets’ hair and skin health. These include omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and various minerals, functioning as
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids : They enhance skin and hair moisture in pets, leading to shiny hair and healthy skin. Omega-3 fatty acids coat hair and skin, making them more flexible and moisturized.
  • Vitamin E : It acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage and boosting immunity. Vitamin E helps protect skin cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can result in various skin issues such as dryness, inflammation, and skin diseases in pets.
  • Various Minerals : Such as zinc, copper, and iron. These minerals are essential for hair and skin health, improving the condition of the skin and hair in pets, making them healthier and shinier.
