Overgrowth
Yeasts are micro-organisms often found on the skin and in the bowels of dogs and cats. Under normal circumstances, they form part of a living layer of microorganisms (otherwise know as the 'microbiome') which coats the surface of the skin and the lining of the gut, lungs, nasal chambers and genital tract.

Soil Depletion:
Mass produced food today provides only a fraction of the nutrients it did 100 years ago. This is at a time when pets need a richer supply in their diet than ever before, to combat the ill-effects of environmental pollution and stress.
Vitality provides many of the nutrients the body needs every day, which a pet may not be getting from their
