SEACHEM NUTRIDIET CICHLID FLAKES W/PROBIOTICS 30 g

NutriDiet® Cichlid Flakes are formulated to provide all essential nutrients for all Cichlids. The diet focuses on a high Chlorella Algae content. Chlorella Algae is an exceptional source of a broad range of vitamins, amino acids, as well as all other nutrients required for all animal life. It is considered a potential super food that far surpasses the nutrients delivered by Spirulina Algae common to other diets. Additionally, Cichlid Flakes contain GarlicGuard™ as an appetite stimulant. Vitamin C allows for enhanced immune function and collagen production and thereby tissue repair and growth. This addresses common issues of hole in the head, lateral line, and simple aggression amongst Cichlids. Natural color enhancers assist in making the most of potential color of fish. Cichlid Flakes also contain probiotics which helps the digestive system of fish and inverts by promoting nutrient uptake, reducing waste, and supporting the immune system.

NutriDiet^® Advantages

Chlorella

It 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.

Probiotics

Probiotics are microorganisms that when consumed, confer several health benefits. We use these ingredients to allow all of the NutriDiets® to be much more digestible with the use of less energy by the fish. This also means that the foods are more completely digested. This maximizes nutrient uptake while at the same time reducing waste into the system. Maximized nutrient uptake also enhances immune function.

GarlicGuard™

Seachem’s garlic-based product is added to all of the NutriDiet® flakes to enhance palatability with all fish. Garlic has a high vitamin C content. Garlic also affords the sulfur-containing compounds alliin, ajoene, diallyl polysulfides, vinyldithiins, and S-allylcysteine. Furthermore, it contains a phytoalexin (allixin). 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 C

Vitamin 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.

NutriDiet® Marine Plus Flakes is a premium and nutritionally balanced diet formulated to meet the requirements of all marine fish. It contains only the highest quality ingredients including fish, plankton, squid, and shrimp. As with all of the Seachem NutriDiets, Marine Plus Flakes have Chlorella Algae as an exceptional source of a broad range of vitamins, amino acids as well as all other nutrients required for animal life. Chlorella Algae is considered a potential super food that far surpasses the nutrients delivered by Spirulina Algae common to other diets. It is enhanced with Entice™ to attract finicky eaters and enhance palatability. Additionally, Marine Plus Flakes contain GarlicGuard™ as an appetite stimulant. 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 Plus Flakes also contain probiotics which helps the digestive system of fish and inverts by promoting nutrient uptake, reducing waste, and supporting the immune system.
