Seaweed contains a wide range of nutrients and serves particularly as a complement to the mineral and trace element base of the diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"698\" data-start=\"665\"\u003eNatural nutritional composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"923\" data-start=\"700\"\u003eAscophyllum nodosum naturally contains several vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, as well as fibre and bioactive compounds typical of marine plants. Dozens of different minerals and trace elements have been identified in seaweed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1182\" data-start=\"925\"\u003eSeaweed contains particularly iodine and potassium, as well as minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and manganese. It also contains amino acids, polyphenols, alginic acid fibre, and small amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1231\" data-start=\"1189\"\u003eOral well-being and feeding context\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1548\" data-start=\"1233\"\u003eSeaweed is often used in dog feeding in situations where bioactive compounds typical of marine plants are desired as part of the daily diet. In feeding, seaweed is associated with the mouth's normal cleansing mechanisms and is used as part of a diet that supports the dog's oral well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1709\" data-start=\"1550\"\u003eSeaweed can be used as part of the daily diet for dogs whose diet consists of raw feeding, home-prepared food, or a simple basic diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1745\" data-start=\"1716\"\u003eIodine and metabolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1981\" data-start=\"1747\"\u003eSeaweed is a natural source of iodine. Iodine participates in the normal formation of thyroid hormones and regulation of metabolism in the body.
