SUPPORT THE GUT.
SUPPORT THE SYSTEM.
THE SCIENCE
Humates, including fulvic and humic acids, and fucoidan-rich marine polysaccharides represent a complementary approach to microbiome support when combined with targeted probiotic strains such as Bacillus subtilis.
Humates are known to contribute to gut environment stability, supporting nutrient interaction and helping maintain conditions that favour beneficial microbial activity. Fulvic acid, in particular, is associated with enhancing mineral transport and supporting the interaction between nutrients and the gut lining.
Fucoidans, derived from specific brown seaweeds such as Ascophyllum nodosum, provide complex sulphated polysaccharides that act as functional substrates within the gut, supporting microbial diversity and the activity of beneficial populations.
When combined with Bacillus subtilis, a resilient spore-forming probiotic capable of surviving gastric conditions and colonising the hindgut, this creates a synergistic system. The probiotic contributes to microbial balance and enzymatic activity, while humates and fucoidans help create a supportive environment and substrate base for sustained function.
This integrated approach supports the stability, diversity, and efficiency of the microbiome, which underpins digestion, nutrient utilisation, and overall physiological balance in the cat.
