Exceptional Human-Grade Ingredients
Free-run British Country Duck
All of our free-range duck is responsibly sourced. Gressingham Duck meat is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, along with healthy essential fats, like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Free-range British Chicken
Free-range poultry generally have a higher protein content than commercially raised chickens. Happier, healthier chickens are thought to product tastier meat due to lower cortisol levels. Chicken is a lean source of protein, rich in essential amino acids, and a good source of vitamin B and iron.
Scottish Salmon
Scottish Salmon is typically fed better quality feed and farming is less intensive, meaning they can swim further. A unique source of Omega-3 (DHA & EHA). Naturally rich in omega 3 fatty acids which have anti-inflammatory properties.
Salisbury Trout
Primarily sourced from within in the UK, our Salisbury Rainbow Trout is natural source of omega 3 essential fatty acids which may help to support skin and coat condition, and help to maintain healthy joints.
Fresh Eggs
An important source of protein, essential amino acids and the nutrients, lutein and choline (B-vitamin). Freshly prepared eggs from free-range chickens.
PreBiotics
PreBiotics can alter the composition of organisms in the gut. In ESSENTIALS, we included microbiome MOS, FOS & alfalfa which can have beneficial effect on the bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract.
