Our amazing Flora4 Ground Sprouted Seeds Food Topper simplifies the chore of learning how to supplement effectively to add the live probiotics, plant enzymes, phytonutrients and whole food vitamins & minerals that are lacking in an all-meat diet. Flora4 contains only 100% raw organic sprouted seeds (a blend of barley seed, flaxseed, and lentils), ground into a fine powder and packaged in daily servings.
You can add Flora4 to every meal to supply all your dog’s non-meat nutritional requirements. Or if you already mix foods like tripe, green leafy & root vegetables into your dog’s raw diet, try using Flora4 every couple of days to “fill in the gaps”. That way, you can be sure that you’re not missing any essential vitamins & minerals with your homemade recipes.
Your cat can also benefit from the intense nutrition in Flora4. Be sure to add healthy sources of taurine such as organ meat – pork liver and duck liver are 2 excellent examples.
Flora4 is extremely versatile. It can be sprinkled into raw, home-cooked food or commercial kibble to boost nutrition and complete the diet. If your main pet food contains vitamin/mineral additives, then you should consider supplementing the diet with doses of Flora4 every day or two, to make sure your pet is getting really bio-available nutrients from food – not just synthetics. Our testing has shown that dogs and cats love the mix of flavors from meat + our sprouted seed blend. Flora4 gives Raw feeders the convenient whole food supplement they’ve been waiting for — no need to use bottled synthetic products again!
Flora4 contains guaranteed levels of live probiotics (18 billion cfu/kg) and enzymes (1 million U/kg); effective doses of 26 essential vitamins & minerals; and high levels of Omega 6 & 3 fatty acids – all from raw food – that combine to provide a variety of health benefits for dogs and cats.
Ingredients: ground organic sprouted seeds (barley, flax, green and red lentils).
Available in 18 oz ( 510 g) reclosable bags and individual single-serve 1.5 oz ( 43 g) packets
Our Flora4 Sprouted Seed Mix delivers total nutrition that ONLY COMES FROM WHOLE PLANT FOOD. Sprouting unlocks and activates massive amounts of vitamins, minerals, probiotics and enzymes stored in nature’s original building blocks. Once sprouted, seeds become highly digestible sources of intense nutrition which is easily absorbed by the body. This is far more effective than relying on synthetic vitamins & minerals which do not work in harmony with natural body metabolism.
When your dog or cat gets its nutrients from actual food, it also absorbs thousands of micro-nutrients that surround each vitamin or probiotic, working synergistically with the body to help it absorb and use the vitamins. These micro-nutrients are only available within the natural structure of a whole food and are left behind when a synthetic vitamin is chemically extracted. When added to conventional pet food, Flora4 can provide your pet the missing nutrition just as nature intended.
Flora4 perfectly supplements raw and home cooked diets with all the necessary vitamins, minerals, live probiotics and enzymes which may be insufficient in a pure meat diet. Or Flora4 can be added to any kibble to supply highly bio-available, food-based nutrients for vibrant health.
You can also use Flora4 whenever your pet needs supplemental enzymes and probiotics for a wide range of issues:
The plant-based enzymes in Flora4 are biologically active in a broad pH range, which means they support your pet’s healthy gut flora in a larger portion of its digestive tract, where pH levels can vary considerably.
Flora4 also adds soluble fiber to your dog’s diet, keeping intestines functioning smoothly and also helping keep your dog feeling full longer. Perfect for dogs eating a raw diet without much volume.
Finally, as a probiotic supplement, Flora4 is uniquely effective. Most commercial probiotics are created by isolating individual strains of microorganisms, and artificially stimulating their reproduction in a laboratory environment. In the final product, the selected probiotics have been separated from the intrinsic supporting microbes that were present in the original natural state and critical to the survival of the selected strain. In isolation, the absorption and use of the probiotic by the body will be greatly reduced. In contrast, when a native probiotic found in a raw food like Flora4 is ingested while still in its natural host environment, it remains supported by the full range of original microorganisms that allow it to function. It will stay healthy, viable and be much more bio-available for absorption within the animal’s intestine. Now that’s something to toot about!
Try Flora4 as a handy stool corrector for those times when your pet gets a bout of diarrhea. The high quality fiber from the sprouted seeds helps form a good stool, while the massive doses of natural probiotics and enzymes will help to correct the digestion issues in a short period of time. Usually, a couple of days’ treatment with each meal is all you need.
Our customers continue to tell us about their experiences with Flora4 – helping to manage a variety of issues from yeast problems to skin & coat conditions to allergy symptoms. The concentrated, bio-available nutrients, fatty acids, antioxidants, probiotics and enzymes can give Flora4 an important role in supporting your pet’s immune system and keeping him healthy.
