Minerals - essential nutrients for dogs and their well-being

Minerals are among the essential nutrients that dogs need for metabolic functioning, a stable immune system and many other bodily processes. Since the dog's body cannot produce them on its own, it is essential that they are supplied through the food. Minerals are found throughout the dog's body, in the cells, bones, muscles and blood. They are involved in signal transmission, energy balance, and enzymatic and hormonal processes.

Why is mineral intake important?

In today's world, which is struggling with issues such as nutrient-poor food and increased stress, there is a growing need for important minerals in dogs, such as.

• Magnesium - supports muscle and energy metabolism
• potassium - important for nerve and muscle function
• zinc - contributes to skin and coat health
• iron and iodine - essential for blood formation and thyroid function
  Targeted supplementation can help to ensure adequate intake of essential minerals and support the dog's well-being.

It is important to remember that a balanced diet of quality dog food is usually sufficient to meet mineral requirements. However, in some cases, such as specific needs or dogs with special requirements, the use of mineral complexes may be recommended.

• Lithothamnium
  Lithothamnium is a red calcareous algae that grows mainly in the cool, clear depths of the Atlantic and North Sea - often around Iceland or Brittany. It belongs to the coralline algae family (Corallinaceae) and is characterised by absorbing minerals from seawater and storing them in its cell structure. When dried, it remains a fine whitish powder with a high mineral content.

   

• Potassium chloride
  Potassium chloride (chemical name: KCl) is an inorganic salt composed of two elements, potassium (K⁺) and chloride (Cl-). It usually occurs as a colourless and odourless crystalline substance and is freely soluble in water. Potassium chloride plays an important role in human and animal nutrition - including the supply of minerals to dogs based on their needs.
