Why Is GreenMin Essential For Your Dog?
The modern system of food production has led to soil and food nutrient depletion.
Why plain wholesome food
is no longer enough:
In a perfect world, a wide variety of food should be enough to keep your dog nourished. However, intensive agriculture and food transport for long distances prevent nutrients from getting back to the soil where they came from. This causes nutrient depletion in the whole chain which also affects us and our dogs.
- Whole Food: As nature intended. We only use all-natural, top quality food-based ingredients!
- Raw/Dried: Raw food goodness is packaged in each jar. GreenMin is carefully dried and crafted under low temperatures to protect its valuable nutrients.
- Top Quality: GreenMin is made from human-grade ingredients and is packaged in recycled glass to preserve its goodness.
- North American: We use certified organic, mineral-rich Alga Calcarea and Californian Spirulina tested multiple times for safety, purity and nutritional values before bottling.

Modern Unsustainable Cycle:
Why California Spirulina?
One of the most nutritionally balanced species of blue-green algae, abundant with chlorophyll, essential amino acids, omega oils, beta-carotene and countless other phytonutrients that nurture, cleanse the body and help to eliminate heavy metals.
Why Brazillian Alga Calcarea?
Sustainably harvested unique species of mineral-rich seaweed superfood that contains more than 20 essential minerals and numerous phytonutrients. USDA certified organic and tested to show it is free of pesticides or heavy metals.
Dietary deficiencies are a primary cause of chronic disease and premature aging. Intensive agriculture practices have depleted soils of minerals and other nutrients, which affects the entire food chain & your canine friend.
Safety & Testing
There are several steps that we take to make sure that GreenMin is safe and toxin free.
- Lab-tested for purity and heavy metals
- Human-grade ingredients
- We perform additional batch testing to confirm the results
- Packaged in glass as chemicals from plastic leach into the product
All of our ingredients are sourced from trusted suppliers, certified organic when possible, and go through rigorous quality control. We do not source from countries that are known to tolerate widespread animal abuse.
Supplementing healthy minerals pushes out heavy metals from your dog's body
37 trillion chemical reactions take place in the body every second. Missing minerals halt proper metabolic and organ functions.
Mineral deficiency causes dehydration as your dog’s body can’t maintain the right osmotic balance. When the good minerals are deficient, heavy metals that compete with them are more likely to settle in the body.
GreenMin Mineral Profile
Mineral | Function | Deficiency |
---|---|---|
Calcium | Calcium is a very important mineral for metabolism, making up about one to two percent of body weight. In addition, calcium manages acid/base balance in the bloodstream and is used to help control muscle and nerve function. | Convulsions Decreased bone mineralization Decreased growth Lack of appetite Lameness Loose teeth Muscle spasms Panting Spontaneous fractures Uncoordinated or stiff gait Vomiting Weakness |
Iron | Iron is a vital mineral for immune system function, treating anemia, boosting hemoglobin, and bringing oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body through red blood cells. Iron’s role is to create energy from nutrients. | Anemia Decreased growth Lethargy Rapid breathing Rough coat Weakness |
Boron | Boron regulates the parathyroid hormone, influences the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. | Decreased growth Low hematocrit |
Bromine | Bromine affects the functioning of the central nervous system, has a role in both digestion and reproduction and activates certain enzymes in the body. | Decreased life expectancy Reduced hemoglobin |
Sodium | Supports healthy nerve and muscle function as well as maintains fluid and electrolyte balance. | Anorexia Decreased growth Fatigue Hair loss Inability to maintain water balance |
Copper | Copper is a trace mineral that plays an important role in metabolism, largely because it allows many critical enzymes to function properly. It helps the body utilize iron, maintains bones, connective tissue and thyroid function, along with reducing tissue damage from free radicals and preserving the myelin sheath that surrounds nerves. | Anemia Bone and joint disease Cardiac arrhythmia Difficulty breathing Hair loss and skin discoloration Imbalanced LDL and HDL cholesterol levels Skin sores and ulceration Susceptibility to infections Vascular weakness |
Zinc | Zinc is a trace mineral necessary for the functioning of more than 300 different enzymes and plays a vital role in a large number of biological processes. Within the body, zinc is distributed in the muscle, bone, skin, kidney, liver, pancreas, retina, prostate and particularly in red and white blood cells. It regulates gene expression, protein folding and immunity. Zinc is also a cofactor for many enzymes. | Decreased immunity Diarrhea Low fertility in males Nail deformities Poor growth Vomiting |
Vanadium | Vanadium is active in many chemical processes in the body. It plays a part in energy production, metabolism and helps to build healthy bones and teeth. | Diabetes Hypoglycemia Obesity |
Sulphur | Sulphur is an essential building block of proteins and is required for all cell activity. It is needed for collagen formation to maintain healthy skin, along with hair and nails. Sulphur also plays an important role in bile secretions and detoxification processes. | Bone and joint disease Circulatory problems Inflammation Nerve disorders |
Silicon | Silicon is required for the synthesis of bones and connective tissues such as tendons and cartilage. It also helps prevent the absorption of aluminum in the brain and body and plays a role in blood circulation and pressure. | Bone loss Digestive disturbances Hair loss Poor bone development |
Selenium | Selenium is a component in the amino acids cysteine and methionine. Selenium functions as an important factor in antioxidant enzymes, helps protect cells from oxidative damage and ensures cell growth and survival. It also enables the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone and helps to lower the risk on joint inflammation. | Discoloration of the hair or skin Pancreas degeneration Weakness or pain in muscles |
Potassium | Potassium plays an important role in neuromuscular activity, muscle contraction, strength and nerve impulse conduction. It also helps to maintain electrolyte balance. | Cardiovascular abnormalities Muscle cramps and pain Weakness |
Phosphorus | Phosphorus is an essential nutrient required for cell development and energy storage. The main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It also promotes protein synthesis for growth, maintenance and repair of cells and tissues, muscle movement, heart, kidney and nerve function, and production of ATP (an energy transfer and storage mechanism within the body). | Anemia Loss of appetite Muscle weakness Poor bone formation Rickets |
Nickel | Nickel is essential for certain chemical processes in the body. | Altered glucose levels Hormonal imbalance Slowed growth |
Molybdenum | Certain enzymes require molybdenum to work properly. Molybdenum helps process sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine and cysteine. | Coma Decrease in uric acid Poor dental health |
Manganese | Manganese enables the absorption of other key nutrients such as biotin, thiamin, ascorbic acid and choline and helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is also important for bone health, blood sugar levels, thyroid function and nerve health. | Abnormal metabolism Hair depigmentation Low cholesterol Poor bone growth Reproductive difficulties Skin rash |
Magnesium | Magnesium is what allows muscles to relax after contraction. Proper nerve function and blood pressure regulation also depends on magnesium. Other functions include building and maintaining healthy bones and regulating vitamin D levels. | Elevated blood pressure Heart arrhythmia Imbalanced blood sugar levels Increased heart rate Muscle weakness or spasm Nausea Weak bones |
Iodine | Iodine supports metabolism and is required for healthy thyroid function. | Hypothyroidism Lethargy Recurrent infections Sensitivity to cold |
Chromium | Chromium is an essential trace element that plays a role in normal blood sugar and insulin production and helps to maintain normal cholesterol levels. | Frequent urination High blood pressure High blood sugar levels Insulin resistance |
Chloride | Chloride works with sodium and potassium to keep body fluid levels balanced and maintains proper blood volume, blood pressure and pH of body fluids. It also aids in the digestion and absorption of many nutrients. | Lack of appetite Lethargy Muscle weakness Seizures Vomiting |

Dosage
GreenMin comes in a convenient powder form and should be added daily to any natural raw, cooked or processed food.
May be split between morning and evening meals.
Dosage
- up to 10 kg (22 lbs) – 1/4 tsp daily / each jar lasts up to 160 days*
- 11 – 25 kg (23 – 55 lbs) – 1/2 tsp daily / each jar lasts up to 80 days*
- 26 – 50 kg (56 – 110 lbs) – 3/4 tsp daily / each jar lasts up to 55 days*
- over 50 kg (110 lbs) – 1 tsp daily / each jar lasts up to 40 days*
* Please note: jars are filled by weight, not volume and may vary slightly.
Even if your dog is less than 22 lbs, you can still give GreenMin because smaller dogs have higher metabolic rates and require a higher amount per body weight.
FAQs
Can GreenMin be given to puppies, kittens or senior pets?
Absolutely. While every age category will benefit, young and senior animals are especially prone to deficiencies that can cause growth and development abnormalities and a shortened lifespan.
Are there any side effects?
GreenMin has the same safety margin as wholesome food. There have not been any known side effects or contraindications. For ill and depleted animals introduce GreenMin gradually over one week. Please consult with your veterinarian before using this supplement for dog’s on NSAIDs, blood thinning herbs or medications, or dogs that suffer from bleeding disorders.
How should I introduce these supplements to my dog's diet?
For more information on how to introduce our essential supplements to your dog try our Healthy Dog Tool HERE.
What should I expect when starting GreenMin?
Gentle detox is expected when starting GreenMin. It is not uncommon for mild digestive upset, or other detoxifying symptoms to appear for the first few days on GreenMin. These reactions are perfectly normal and to be expected. They will usually disappear within a few days as the body rids itself of some of the harmful toxins and starts absorbing the minerals effectively.
My recent jar looks different? Is there something wrong with it?
We manufacture GreenMin in small batches, from grower-sourced, naturally-produced materials. Because the ingredients are unprocessed, a natural variation in color and texture is to be expected.
