We supply our Ascophyllum nodosum in a granulated (small flake) format for easier usage and to reduce the risk of aspiration.
There is no evidence to suggest efficacy is affected by particle size.
As Ascophyllum nodosum does not occur in Australian waters, it must be imported. Simply Seaweed currently has harvesting partners in Canada and Ireland. Please check the batch code of individual containers to determine the country of origin – “C” indicates Canada, “I” indicates Ireland.
No. Simply Seaweed products are not irradiated, ensuring they are safe for cats (irradiated products can be toxic cats).
No. Unlike most other products available on the market, Simply Seaweed’s Ascophyllum nodosum has not undergone heat treatment or been dried using excessive heat. This means that 100% of the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and antibacterial benefits are retained.
Yes.
All wild-harvested seaweed and kelp products contain some level of heavy metals, due to ocean contamination and naturally occurring minerals.
Our seaweed is harvested from clean waters to ensure minimal levels and heavy metal testing conducted to ensure that any detected quantities are within safe limits as per the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ 2002). Additionally, our seaweed is certified organic which enforces even more stringent regulations of allowable trace levels of heavy metals.
Our Nutrition Information discloses the levels of heavy metals. Declared upper limits of heavy metals are often higher than the expected value due to laboratory testing accuracy limitations.
No. Ascophyllum nodosum works systemically through the bloodstream and thus does not need to come into contact with the teeth.
Ascophyllum nodosum is usually well tolerated by pets with sensitive stomachs. There has even been some research into the gastrointestinal benefits that Ascophyllum nodosum can provide, likely due to its anti-inflammatory properties and prebiotics – see The Many Uses and Benefits of Ascophyllum nodosum.
However, each animal is different. Ensure that your pet’s gastrointestinal system is at its best before introducing Simply Seaweed. Introduce the product slowly, gradually increasing the dose as toleration is evident. Probiotics may help with transition.
If your pet is unable to tolerate Simply Seaweed, you can return the product for a full refund.
