Finnish cultivation nettlepowder 150 g

Boost your dog's well-being with Finnish nettle powder!

Fine nettle powder is a versatile trace element and mineral powerhouse for dogs. For the well-being of skin, joints, coat and gut, as well as general nutritional supplementation.

Nettle is a healthy and extremely nutrient-rich plant that contains abundant natural vitamins and trace elements. No other Finnish plant contains as many mineral salts as nettle. Nettle is a diuretic plant that supports the body's metabolism. Nettle is well suited for dogs whose joints need support and rehabilitation, combined with rosehip.

Nettle contains the highest amount of natural mineral salts among plants. Nettle contains, among others, silicon, iron, calcium, potassium, sulphur, magnesium, manganese, zinc, chromium, amino acids and vitamins C, B2, B3, B5, K1 as well as important flavonoids and chlorophyll.

Approximately 15% of nettle consists of carbohydrates, 5,5% protein, 0,6% fat and 2,3% mineral salts (Fe, K, Ca, Mg etc.).

Nettle also contains plenty of fibre that is beneficial for the gut, and it can be used to raise a dog's haemoglobin levels when needed, as the iron in nettle is efficiently absorbed and does not irritate the stomach like synthetic products.

Nettle may also help with skin problems and soothes itchy and flaky skin.
