Even the healthiest among us occasionally succumb to disease. The pressures of the modem world can lower our resistance to infection, and the relatively unnatural lives our animals lead can have the same effect on them. For this reason we recommend Greenark food supplements. They are made from whole natural ingredients, including many disinfectant and restorative herbs. Important: Store all food supplements in dry conditions or decant into jars and keep in a dark place.

Pure Garlic Powder
The virtues of garlic are so wide - ranging and impressive that it might be thought that it was invented to fulfill an impossible dream. Nethertheless its powers are constantly being confirmed by modem medical research throughout the world.
Greenark Pure Garlic Powder is a trouble - free way of feeding this amazing herb, and because it is very concentrated, it is necessary to give only small amounts.
( IMPORTANT: For puppies under one year old, half the adult amount should be used.)
The protective effects of garlic against all manner of infections have long been known and it has in the past been used locally for ulcerous sores, and internally to rid the gut of worm infestation. It is used to this day in many parts of the world as a general antibiotic and antiseptic. Garlic appears to be particularly effective in two parts of the body: the gut and the lungs. Its effects on the digestion involve a general stimulation of secretion and gut contractions. Increased bile secretion cleanses the liver, and the detoxification of the gut has far - reaching effects on the general health of the body.
Garlic also lowers the blood cholesterol, so that the levels after a meal with garlic are significantly lower than the same taken without garlic. It improves the assimilation of vitamin B, which particularly benefits the health of the nervous system. It also opens up blood vessels and both increases blood flow to the tissues and lowers blood - pressure.
Given as a food supplement, sprinkled on the main meal five days a week, garlic powder will improve appetite, encourage good coat condition, relieve skin complaints, discourage worm infestation, and protect against stomach upsets, gastritis and diarrhea.
As a medicinal aid, garlic can be used to relieve cases of dysentery, enteritis, salmonella, urine infection,dermatitis, gingivitis, haemolyticvanaemia, pheryngitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, stomatitis, tonsillitis, rheumatism, and some types of arthritis.
Mix a small amount of powder into a solid mass with a little thick honey, then divide and roll into pills about the size of a pea. Give in the morning and evening, twelve hours apart.

Pure Seaweed Powder
Our seaweed powder is made from pure bladderwrack, one of the common varieties of seaweed.
For centuries, seaweed was, and still is in some parts of the world used as a food for animals and human beings. Scientific evidence has supported ancient beliefs about the remarkable properties of seaweed, by confirming that it contains large amounts of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
What is more, at the McGill University in Montreal, Pacific harvested kelp was shown to have some ability to reduce radioactive Strontium 90 which human beings had taken in through their intestines by up to 80%. The fact that seaweed has the power to do this was also confirmed by a Medical Radiological Unit at Harwell.
The advantage of seaweed is that while it supplies essential vitamins and mineral salts, it is also alkaline and cleansing, and exerts a gentle laxative affect. It can, therefore, perform nutritional and therapeutic functions at one and the same time.
Iodine is the essential constituent of seaweed. By increasing and regulating the metabolic rate, iodine supplies mental and physical energy.
This increases physical activity, which in turn improves bile flow and helps to shed excess weight. Iodine is not solely a gland regulator: a deficiency of iodine contributes to digestive troubles.
Chlorine and potassium are also present in seaweed. Chlorine facilitates the digestion of proteins and aids the liver in removing poisons from the system. Potassium helps to prevent
both constipation and diarrhea. Together with sodium ( also present in seaweed), it plays a large part in ensuring alkalinity and preventing catarrh and formation of stones in the gall-bladder, Kidneys and urinary bladder.
In animals, seaweed encourages a thick shining coat, strong bones and good pigmentation. Simply sprinkle on to the main meal five days a week.
