Herbsmith Nutrients Vitamin, Minerals, Antioxidants for Dogs 83g Package Front

Herbsmith Nutrients® Vitamins, Minerals, Antioxidants for Dogs (4 pack)

Nutrients is a concentrated blend of superfoods chosen to complement a carnivore's needs, delivering natural vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants that help fill everyday nutritional gaps. Real food ingredients - turkey, spinach, blueberries, broccoli, spirulina, pomegranate, and more - alongside targeted chelated minerals, B vitamins, and fat-soluble vitamins for broader daily coverage. For dogs of all ages. Powder format; sprinkles over any diet.

Why Whole-Food Vitamins Matter

Whole foods contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients in the combinations nature designed - easy for the body to recognize and absorb. Unlike synthetic vitamin packs built into flavored soft chews, whole-food nutrients arrive with their cofactors, pigments, and enzyme systems intact. Cooking, processing, and soil depletion all reduce the micronutrient density of the food most dogs eat daily. Nutrients fills that gap with real-food ingredients that deliver nutritional depth beyond what a standard multivitamin premix can provide.

When to Use Nutrients

  • Daily antioxidant support: Whole-food berries, greens, and superfoods help neutralize free radicals and support long-term cellular wellness.
  • Fighting oxidative stress: Phytonutrients from real food defend the body from the wear-and-tear process behind aging and chronic inflammation.
  • Upgrading any diet: Kibble, raw, freeze-dried, or homemade - Nutrients adds the real-food micronutrients modern diets commonly lack.
  • Dogs of all ages: Puppies, adults, seniors - real-food micronutrients help fuel their needs at every life stage.
  • Foundational daily nutrition: A daily layer that pairs with any other Herbsmith supplement without overlap or conflict.

Ingredients and Their Key Phytonutrients

  • Ground Turkey: Lean animal protein base; provides heme iron, zinc, B vitamins, and selenium in highly bioavailable form. Anchors the formula to a carnivore-appropriate protein foundation and improves palatability.
  • Blueberries: One of the highest-antioxidant fruits available; primary source of anthocyanin flavonoids, which have extensively documented free-radical scavenging activity, support for cognitive function, and anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of NF-kB. Also provides vitamin C and manganese.
  • Cranberries: Rich in polyphenols, proanthocyanidins (including Type-A PACs with anti-adhesion activity), flavonols, and quercetin. Quercetin is a broad-spectrum flavonoid with documented anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and antioxidant activity - relevant for dogs with seasonal or environmental sensitivities.
  • Sweet Potato: Primary source of beta-carotene (provitamin A), which is converted to Vitamin A as needed and also functions as a direct antioxidant. Also provides Vitamin C, manganese, potassium, and prebiotic fiber to support gut health alongside the supplement's nutritional role.
  • Avocado (Avocado Meal): High in oleic acid (omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid), which supports skin barrier integrity and has anti-inflammatory activity. Also provides vitamin E, potassium, and folate. Avocado meal (not the skin or pit) is safe for dogs at dietary levels and is the form used here.
  • Spinach: Rich in antioxidants including lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and Vitamin K; provides iron, calcium, magnesium, and folate. Contains naturally occurring calcium oxalate - safe for dogs at dietary supplement levels but not appropriate for cats with a tendency toward oxalate crystal formation.
  • Tomatoes: One of the richest dietary sources of lycopene, a carotenoid antioxidant with documented cellular-protective activity, particularly relevant for prostate and cardiovascular tissue. Also provides Vitamin C and beta-carotene.
  • Broccoli: High in indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and sulforaphane, two glucosinolate-derived compounds with documented activity supporting detoxification pathways (phase II liver enzymes) and cellular health. Also provides Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and folate.
  • Barley Grass: A concentrated source of beta-carotene, B vitamins (including B1, B2, B6, and B12 precursors), chlorophyll, vitamin K, and alkalizing minerals. Provides a broad micronutrient profile in a highly bioavailable green powder form.
  • Pomegranate: High in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and polyphenols including punicalagins and punicic acid - some of the most potent antioxidant compounds in the plant kingdom. Pomegranate polyphenols have documented anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular-supportive activity.
  • Spirulina (Algae Meal): A blue-green algae that is one of the most nutrient-dense whole foods available: high in complete protein, B vitamins, iron, beta-carotene, and phycocyanin (a powerful antioxidant pigment unique to spirulina). Also provides GLA and a broad spectrum of trace minerals. Supports immune function and antioxidant defense.
  • Chelated Minerals (Zinc, Iron, Copper, and Manganese Proteinates): Minerals bound to amino acids (proteinate chelation) for superior bioavailability compared to inorganic mineral salts. Zinc supports immune function, skin integrity, and enzyme activity; iron supports oxygen transport and energy metabolism; copper supports iron utilization and connective tissue; manganese supports bone formation and antioxidant enzyme activity (as a cofactor for superoxide dismutase).
  • B Vitamins and Cofactors (Niacin, Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine HCl, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin B12, Betaine Anhydrous, L-Carnitine): Complete B complex providing coenzyme support for energy metabolism, nervous system function, and cellular repair. Betaine anhydrous supports methylation pathways and liver function. L-Carnitine supports fat metabolism and energy production, particularly relevant for active and senior dogs.
  • Fat-Soluble Vitamins (Vitamin A, D3, and E Supplements): Targeted additions to ensure adequate fat-soluble vitamin levels that whole food sources alone may not fully cover. Vitamin A supports vision and immune function; Vitamin D3 supports calcium metabolism and immune regulation; Vitamin E is a primary fat-soluble antioxidant protecting cellular membranes from lipid peroxidation.
  • Trace Minerals (Sodium Selenite, Calcium Iodate, Calcium Carbonate): Selenium supports the glutathione peroxidase antioxidant enzyme system and thyroid function; iodine supports thyroid hormone synthesis; calcium carbonate provides supplemental calcium to support the mineral profile.

How to Feed

Sprinkle over every meal, mix into a small meatball or cottage cheese, or freeze with broth or water in an ice cube tray. Dogs that are new to greens and vegetable blends can be introduced gradually: start with a small pinch for the first few days and work up to the full dose over 1-2 weeks. This helps picky eaters adjust to the aroma.

Dogs cannot get every micronutrient from diet alone. Cooking, processing, and soil depletion affect nutrient levels in food. Daily use helps fill those gaps with whole-food vitamins and antioxidants that support wellness from the inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give Nutrients to my cat?

Nutrients is formulated for dogs only. The blend contains spinach, which naturally contains small amounts of calcium oxalate. Dogs handle dietary oxalate well, but cats are more sensitive and may form oxalate crystals in the urinary tract. For that reason, Nutrients should not be given to cats, or as directed by your veterinarian.

My dog does not like vegetables. Will he eat this?

Most dogs take to Nutrients easily because the ground turkey base makes the blend mild and palatable. For picky eaters, start with a small pinch at mealtime and increase gradually over 1-2 weeks until reaching the full dose. This gradual introduction helps dogs adjust to the aroma and flavor without resistance, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Can Nutrients help balance a raw diet?

Yes. Nutrients supplies the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients commonly missing or reduced in meat-only raw meals. To more fully balance a raw diet, pair Nutrients with a whole-food calcium source such as ground eggshell or raw meaty bones - the combination brings raw closer to nutritional completeness. Nutrients pairs with any other Herbsmith supplement without overlap or conflict, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Can puppies take Nutrients?

Yes. Nutrients is safe for puppies at the appropriate dose for their weight. Growing dogs benefit significantly from whole-food micronutrients, especially if they are on kibble or processed food where heat and processing reduce vitamin and phytonutrient content. Start at the low end of the dose range for their weight and adjust as they grow, or as directed by your veterinarian.

When will I see results?

Nutrients works as a foundational layer, so benefits are cumulative rather than immediate. Most pet parents notice improvements in stool quality, coat condition, and energy within the first 4-8 weeks of daily consistent use. The real power is long-term nutritional reinforcement - supporting cellular health, antioxidant defense, and micronutrient sufficiency over time rather than producing a visible short-term effect, or as directed by your veterinarian.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Are these synthetic? And what is the percentage of phosphorus?

    Hi, thank you for your question!

    The manufacturer said the vitamins are synthetic. The phosphorus is low due to the fruit and veggies ingredients.
