Seameal w/Flaxseed MealTM by Solid Gold

Our Best Selling Supplement: Vital Nutrients for you Dog, Cat or Horse
It’s improved! We took a wonderful product and made it even better.

Our SeaMeal is now yeast-free and has been re-formulated with flax seed meal, an excellent source of Omega 3 and 6 essentail fatty acids. It is thought that some dogs may be allergic to certain types of yeast, although often the exact type of yeast causing the allergy, is unknow. In order to eliminate this possible allergen, the brewers yeast (which is just one of more than twenty different types of yeast) was removed from our SeaMeal, and replaced with flax seed meal. For customers who still wish to supplement with Brewers Yeast, our English Rescue Brewers Yeast and Garlic tablets are still available in a 1000 tab container.

The National Cancer Institute has evaluated flax seed and found that it:

# stimulates the immune system
# reduces the incidence of coronary heart disease
# is high in phyto-nutrients which have anti-tumor properties and may be linked to a low incidence of colon cancer
# contains a high level of antioxidants, may lower triglycerides cholesterol, and have favorable effects on insulin activity

Dr. Michael Murray ND, one of the world’s leading authorities on natural medicine, explains that when flax meal reaches the intestines, the bacteria there change it to compounds that are extremely protective against cancer. Dr. Murray also writes that flax may improve nerve function and protect against diabetic disease.

SeaMeal is our Number 1 Seller. It is made with nineteen different species of sea vegetation. It is an excellent source of nutrition, and often a more popular supplement than many chemical vitamins and minerals. Of the nineteen different species, only one is kelp. We use kelp for its iodine content, but kelp should never be fed on its own (without the other seaweeds) because it contains small amounts of arsenic. The other eighteen types of seaweed contain arsenate, which binds with the arsenic molecules and takes them out of the body, preventing them from being absorbed.

The addition of seaweed and kelp to an animal’s diet can produce many great benefits. SeaMeal contains 60 trace minerals, 12 vitamins and 22 amino acids. SeaMeal should be given twice a day, and mixed with the morning and evening feeds. The body is made up of 11% trace minerals and 4% vitamins. Without the minerals, the vitamins cannot work.

SeaMeal also contains digestive enzymes, which improve the digestibility of the food. Solid Gold foods are more than 80% digestible, but with the addition of SeaMeal, this increases to a level of 92% digestibility. No matter what other companies may tell you, probiotics and digestive enzymes cannot be put right into the food, because they are denatured (killed) at 120 F degrees, and pet foods must be cooked at least at 265 F degrees.

SeaMeal supplementation often helps prevent dogs from stool eating. SeaMeal helps to boost up the thymus and thyroid glands, which control the immune, hormone and enzyme systems of the body. SeaMeal helps to restore lost hair growth, intensify coat color and particularly remove the red tinge that can affect black coats in cats and dogs such as Dobermans and Rottweilers, which may be caused by an iron deficiency. It is also excellent for dogs and cats with white coats.

Animals benefit greatly from the addition of sea vegetation to their diets. SeaMeal helps to boost up the immune system, which is the first line of defense against allergens. Supplementation with SeaMeal helps prevent chewing at the feet, scratching at the skin and base of the tail and hair loss. One of the key elements in SeaMeal is iodine, which is vital for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. SeaMeal is often used for dogs with hyper- or hypo-thyroidism. Historically, Oriental dogs, Arctic dogs, dogs from England, Scotland and Ireland and water dogs were fed fish and sea vegetation as part of their regular diets.

Seaweeds are divided into four major color classifications: green, brown, red, and blue-green. Many studies have documented the beneficial effects of consuming foods rich in the various pigments that give them their bright colors.

Solid Gold SeaMeal contains several species of green seaweeds, which are rich in chlorophyll, a detoxifier. There is only one atom difference between a molecule of whole blood and molecule of chlorophyll. The chlorophyll contains magnesium and the blood contains hemin (iron). The blue-green algae family is acknowledged for its immune-enhancing properties. The brown and red colored seaweeds used in our SeaMeal are rich in Carotenoids that also have anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties and support the heart and circulation. Flavonoids that produce red, purple or blue colored seaweed, support connective tissue regeneration, collagen formation, help to stabilize and protect blood capillaries from oxidative damage, and also have antioxidant benefits.
