Basic Nutrients for canines and felines

These formulas are intended for use in all phases of an animal's life. Basic Nutrients provide a broad range of nutrients to meet the nutritional needs of cats and dogs. With modern processed foods, as well as the polluted state of many foods, water, and the environment, it is difficult to know whether a small animal is receiving the basic nutrients needed for optimal health. By supplying companion animals with these formulas early in life, or before they become ill, the quality and length of life is enhanced.

Trace minerals (zinc, copper, iron, and selenium) are supplied as highly absorbable picolinate chelates - Thorne exclusives. Chromium is supplied as the patented UltraChrome®. Riboflavin 5'-phosphate and pyridoxyl 5'-phosphate are provided as the active forms of vitamins B2 and B6, as animals with hepatic dysfunction cannot properly convert the standard forms of these B vitamins. The Basic Nutrients formulas go a step further, providing more than just a basic, high-potency vitamin-mineral, by including the essential fatty acid GLA, methionine for liver detoxification, amino acids, HCl for enhanced absorption, and mixed flavonoids for extra antioxidant, connective tissue stabilization, and immune-enhancing effects.
