I have been using this food for over 8 months and it’s worth every penny. My chins fur looks so much better
NIBLEE
Spirulina has become a buzzword. That is exactly why we want to be specific about why it is in every Niblee bag.
It is not in there because it sounds good on a label. It is in there because four specific compounds in spirulina each do a specific job inside your animal:
• Phycocyanin (the blue pigment) neutralizes the unstable molecules that damage cells and activates your animal's own antioxidant defenses
• Beta-carotene at roughly ten times the level in carrots, supporting vision, skin, and immune function
• GLA, a pre-made anti-inflammatory fat that supports healthy skin and coat
• Prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bacteria in the hindgut
We use 1.0 percent in our rabbit and guinea pig food, 1.5 percent in our chinchilla food. Those numbers are matched to the published research, not to a marketing brief.
The full deep dive, with every citation, is on the blog.
Spirulina is in every Niblee formula. Here is what it does inside your rabbit, guinea pig, and chinchilla, and why we chose 1.0% and 1.5%.
