Seachem NutriDiet Marine Flakes is one of the best marine foods available directed at omniovers providing a healthy super food with immune and vitamin additives, keeping your marine fish looking great on the outside and improving colour.
NutriDiet Marine FlakesNutriDiet Marine Flakes are high in protein from whole fish, shrimp, and krill, providing a complete diet similar to what the fish would eat in nature.
Like all other NutriDiet foods, NutriDiet Marine Flakes contain Chlorella Algae, a potential super food extremely high in enzymes, vitamins and minerals including the full vitamin B complex.
This algae contains all of the nutrients necessary for animal life, and is far superior to the Spirulina Algae used in many other fish foods.
It is enhanced with Entice to attract finicky eaters and enhance palatability.
Additionally, Marine Flakes contain GarlicGuard as an appetite stimulant and a natural antibacterial/antiparasitic product to protect against a myriad of infections and infestations of bacteria and parasites.
The high levels of Vitamin C in the diet are especially important for the health of marine fish.
Vitamin C is a cofactor in the processes necessary for the formation of connective tissue, scar tissue in wound repair, and bone matrix.
This is a difficult vitamin for fish to acquire in their natural diet, but is critical in addressing healing and growth issues.
Marine Flakes contain proteinated and hydrolysated minerals and nutrients, which mean they are much more easily digested by fish.
Since these minerals and nutrients are easier to digest, the fish expends less energy on digestion while enjoying the benefits of greater nutrient uptake and utilisation.
As an end result, less of these valuable nutrients are lost as fish waste, leading to a cleaner tank and healthier fish.
NutriDiet Marine Flakes also contain natural, highly digestible colour-enhancing proteins to make the best of the fish’s natural colour.
Lastly, patent pending compounds complete the formulation to enhance immune function further as well as extend life potential and natural growth and color enhancement of fish.
NutriDiet AdvantagesIt is an attractive food source because, and has been deemed a “Super-Food” as it is high in protein and other essential nutrients.
When dried; it is about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% fiber, and abundant in minerals and vitamins and satisfies all of the requirements of a healthy and balanced fish diet as established by the National Academy of Sciences.
It is the highest-known source of chlorophyll.
While these are all beneficial, the greatest value of chlorella lies in a fascinating ingredient called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF).
CGF is a water soluble nucleotide-peptide complex found only in chlorella. It is responsible for the rapid rate of growth of the alga.
Experiments with microorganisms and animals have shown that CGF promotes faster than normal growth without adverse side effects by naturally catalyzing the DNA to RNA to protein conversion.
It stimulates tissue repair and protects cells against some toxic by-products of rapid growth.
The process used in preparing Seachem chlorella products has been specially designed to maximize the CGF content retained in the final product.
The effects of CFG are only observed in algae whose cell walls have been perforated, as the wall is composed of material that cannot be readily digested.
The Seachem protocol breaks open the cell wall, allowing the cell contents to be fully available for digestion.
Many of the ingredients in NutriDiets are present as proteinates and hydrolysates, making them much easier for fish to digest. This results in greater nutrient uptake by the fish and more complete digestion of the food.
The fish benefits from receiving more nutrients from the food while expending less energy on digestion, and less nutrients are lost as waste in the tank, leading to better health for the fish overall.
GarlicGuardSeachem’s garlic-based product is added to all of the NutriDiet flakes to enhance palatability with all fish.
GarlicGuard also has natural anti bacterial and anti parasitic qualities that can enhance overall fish health long term.
Garlic has been found to enhance thiamin absorption, and therefore reduces the likelihood for developing thiamin deficiency.
It also has a high vitamin C content. It has shown promise as a medication in combatting protozoal disease.
Allium sativum yields allicin, an antibiotic and antifungal compound (phytoncide).
Garlic also affords the sulfur-containing compounds alliin, ajoene, diallyl polysulfides, vinyldithiins, and S-allylcysteine.
Furthermore, it contains a phytoalexin (allixin), a compound with antioxidant effects, antimicrobial effects, and antitumor promoting effects.
In addition, garlic has substantial amounts of beta-carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, zinc, manganese and selenium.
Vitamin CVitamin C is a cofactor in the processes necessary for the formation of connective tissue, scar tissue in wound repair, and bone matrix.
Vitamin C is difficult for fish to acquire in natural diets but is critical in addressing healing and growth issues in many fish. Vitamin C also allows for enhanced immune function.
