Vit’i5 composition: natural
Is Vit’i5 natural?
The definition of “natural” is ambiguous, and so is the answer!
In Vit’i5 composition, there is:
- Brewer’s yeast (The latin name of yeast is in fact Saccharomyces cerevesiae). The yeast is obtained after fermentation of grains for beer! But don’t worry, there is no alcohol in Vit’i5!
- Vitamins: to warranty the amount of each vitamin in a spoon of Vit’i5, vitamins listed on the label are all added.
Vitamins are essential to maintain health but some of them (vitamins A and D) can also be toxic if consumed in excess (so yes, there is a range of dosage for Vit’i5).
Additionally, for some vitamins, the form that dogs and cats can use is specific. Thus, for vitamin A, cats and dogs can use retinol (the animal form). Also, no beta-carotene (the plant form, also called pro-vitamin A in human nutrition).
For vitamin D, they use D3 (the animal form) but poorly D2 (plant).
Vit’i5 includes vitamins mostly made by bacteria or from synthesis, in controlled facilities, following the regulation. - There are also trace elements (zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, iron) and minerals (calcium, phosphorus).
Minerals, vitamins, trace elements cannot be organic, so Vit’i5 may be added to balance the diet even if you want to feed your pets with organic ingredients.
In Vit’i5 composition, there is NO:
– addition of dye, preservative, aroma, palatability agent, animal protein hydrolysates, animal protein…
– animal raw materials
– salt or sugar
Therefore, the largest number of cats and dogs tolerate it well!
