Yes the ingredients are listed in full on the packet which will be released in full on product launch. Ingredients include however, nettle leaves and stems, alfalfa, dandelion leaves and flowers, marigold, carrot, red clover, bee pollen, hibiscus and much more including our naturally mined full spectrum mineral clay and added calcium with pre and pro-biotics.
I find the idea of whole foods, that is one pellet or powder does all abhorrent. This does jot subscribe to my ideals of wild Re-creation and full spectrum feeding. As such these products are dietary additions. Made to be sprinkled ontop of the usual whole leaf and grass diet to make up for or to boost those missing or hard to find elements. An addition of 5-10% is usual to the main meal. 125g is a big re-sealing pouch and at just £8.99 I feel it represents very good value considering the efforts we have gone to, to secure this number of ingredients in the UK rather than farming it to china and sticking a label on it. John

Sounds good - so could I use this instead of nutrobal/calcium powder and how often would you recommend i.e should it be used daily?

Thank you John
I feed a fresh diet but I am interested in this as an extra element to their diet to provide things that I can't pick all the time, I do however have several tortoises to provide for so was wondering how long the bag would last 1 tortoise at the rate you suggest? Horsfield size, not a huge species! |

Hi Vikki,
EarthPro-A is a better choice as a supplement. This is again based on full spectrum mined earth minerals, bee pollen and a VERY potent and totally non toxic Carotenoid. This can be used every day and is totally non toxic. The whole plant mixes can then be used on top of the usual plant foods and alongside EarthPro-A very effectively at every feed Best wishes John

Yes that's exactly what it is for
125g is a big pouch of product as it's so light being dried plants. At 5-10% of feed and being airtight and resealing, (ziplock) it should last a good few feeds. I have been feeding an adult spur thigh with a pouch for 4 weeks now and there's still a quarter there.. So it will depend on how much you use per feed John Quote:

Very sensible, the RRP is £8.99 but I guess shops will have offers. Looking at other products we seem to offer more weight and more ingredients for £1-2 less cost even at RRP.
Hope it works well for you
