Animal Essentials Seaweed Calcium

Product Information

Seaweed can also provide a boost to your dog's metabolism. A sluggish metabolism can lead to weight gain and other health issues, but the nutrients in seaweed can help to boost their natural immune defense and response. The iodine found in certain types of seaweed helps regulate the function of the thyroid gland, which plays a key role in metabolism. Additionally, seaweed is rich in fiber, which aids digestion and keeps food moving properly and efficiently through the dog's gut as well as increasing nutrient uptake. By incorporating seaweed into your dog's diet, you can support their overall metabolic health and keep them feeling energetic and active. It can make up about 25–75% of seaweed’s dry weight. This is higher than the fiber content of most fruits and vegetables ( 31, 32). Kim, Y., Nowzari, H. & Rich, S. K.

These polysaccharides can also increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which provide support and nourishment to the cells lining your gut ( 33). Summary

The proteins present in some seaweeds, such as spirulina and chlorella, contain all of the essential amino acids. This means seaweed can help ensure you get the full range of amino acids ( 10, 11, 12). Tungmunnithum, D., Thongboonyou, A., Pholboon, A., & Yangsabai, A. (2018). Flavonoids and Other Phenolic Compounds from Medicinal Plants for Pharmaceutical and Medical Aspects: An Overview. Medicines (Basel, Switzerland), 5(3), 93. The study shows that brown and green seaweeds are the most abundant seaweed species in the Sri Lankan coastal areas. Brown seaweed was a most common species in areas that were exposed to constant sea waves and where dissolved oxygen levels are high, whereas, the green seaweed species is the most common in deeper oceanic areas. Moreover, we observed that the most diverse seaweed communities are found close to the coast, where the depth gradient is changing their distribution patterns. The south location had a higher density of Sargassum ilicifolum species than other coastal locations. As well, a positive correlation (P < 0.05) was apparent between Sargassum spp. and other seaweeds 23. Both north and south coastal areas exhibit marked differences in seaweed communities. For assertive correlations to be established between these locations' seaweed communities and their distributions, needs further studies. Bramhe, S., Kim, T. N., Balakrishnan, A. & Chu, M. C.

Its iodine content varies greatly depending on the type, where it was grown, and how it was processed. In fact, one dried sheet of seaweed can contain 11–1,989% of the RDI ( 7).Zhao, L., Huang, S., Cai, X., Hong, J. & Wang, S. A specific peptide with calcium chelating capacity isolated from whey protein hydrolysate. J. Funct. Foods 10, 46–53 (2014). You can add powdered or dried seaweed as a supplement to your dog's food or look for commercially available dog treats that contain seaweed as an ingredient. It is important to follow recommended serving sizes based on your pet's weight. You, W. et al. Functionalized calcium silicate nanofibers with hierarchical structure derived from oyster shells and their application in heavy metal ions removal. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 18, 15564–15573 (2016). Shells account for approximately 60% of the mass of a shellfish, and calcium carbonate content in a shell can reach 95%. Shells are a rich source of high-quality marine calcium. Shellfish culture offers humans a low-impact source of sustainable protein 24. In 2016, farmed shellfish reached 17.139 million tons globally, accounting for 21.42% of the total farm output 25. Additionally, as the proportion of calcium in shells is higher than that in fishbones, the output from shells is greater 26, 27. The effects of calcium supplementation with Ezo giant scallop shell powder and fossil shellfish powder have been studied; the results indicated good solubility and bioavailability of calcium from these natural sources of calcium 28. The shell calcium supplement was marketed in several countries worldwide; however, the utilization of shell resources remains low, and the comprehensive utilization and development of shell calcium require further support.
