Powerful colouration promoting koi feed

Deeply contrasting colours SPIRULINA EF is a powerful colouration promoting feed for koi. Thefeed contains a high level of spirulina and other carefully selected colour enhancing ingredients like capsanthin and astaxanthin. These additives allow the contrasting colours of koi to become brighter, deeper and more intense. Spirulina is considered to be the most effective natural colour enhancer for especially the red parts. It is very rich in the yellow pigment zeaxanthin that in the koi is converted into bright red. This process heightens the red and also the white colour. Since 2009 the spirulina level has been further increased.

Health support Apart from a concentrated amount of natural pigments spirulina offers several health benefits. It contains anti-oxidants that, like vitamin C, help protect the body tissues. Other components, like polysaccharides are known to strengthen the immune system. The high inclusion of spirulina makes SPIRULINA EF a diet similar to the natural diet of koi in traditional mud ponds. The digestion of this diet is best at water temperatures from 18 °C and upwards.To optimize digestion organic acids are used. SPIRULINA EF has been fortified with the Coppens prebiotic and probiotic system. Both act to maintain a good intestinal health. The probiotic consists of positive bacteria and the prebiotic, fructo-oligosaccharides, as their food source. This system counteracts pathogenic bacteria and promotes a better nutrient absorption. To support the health of your fish even more, high levels of vitamins are added to the feed. The palatability if SPIRULINA EF is improved by the use of squid meal.
