Garlic (Allium sativum) isn’t just a kitchen staple—it’s a powerhouse ingredient that brings a range of health and functional benefits to your fish. Here’s why it’s earned its spot in our feed:

• Appetite Stimulant: Thanks to allicin, a compound with a strong, enticing aroma, garlic encourages even the pickiest eaters to dive in. But that’s not all—allicin is also a natural antioxidant and antibiotic, supporting overall fish health.
• Immune System Booster: Rich in antioxidants and packed with natural antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties, garlic gives your fish’s immune system the extra support it needs to fend off illnesses.
• Digestive Support: Garlic promotes better digestion by stimulating gut flora, leading to healthier, more robust fish that thrive in their environment.

And here’s the kicker: garlic isn’t just a flavor enhancer. Its natural antimicrobial properties also play a crucial role in preserving our feed naturally—no artificial preservatives needed!

We carefully dry our garlic using low temperatures before grinding it into a fine powder. This process helps to preserve Garlic's natural health benefits while making it easier to incorporate into a wide variety of fish feed.

A Sustainable Resource:

Garlic is a widely available crop, grown sustainably worldwide. Its low environmental impact makes it an ideal replacement for synthetic preservatives and antibiotics.

Reducing Chemical Dependency:

By leveraging garlic's natural antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiparasitic properties, we're reducing the need for artificial antibiotics and chemical preservatives.

Minimal Waste:

Garlic processing generates minimal byproducts, and any waste, such as garlic peels, can often be repurposed as compost or feed for insects such as Black Soldier Fly larvae.

• Ancient Superfood: Garlic has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine across cultures. Ancient Egyptians even fed garlic to their laborers to boost strength and endurance—your fish are in good company!
• Universal Appeal: Garlic’s pungent aroma isn’t just irresistible to us—it’s also proven to stimulate feeding behavior in many species of fish, making it a favorite for picky eaters.
• Natural Parasite Fighter: In aquaculture, garlic has been used as a natural remedy for parasitic infections, helping to control issues like ich without the need for harsh chemicals
• ‍A “Green” Ingredient: Garlic’s antimicrobial properties make it a natural way to preserve feeds, reducing the need for artificial preservatives while keeping everything fresh.

No. The amounts present in our fish feed are minimal. You would need to excessively overfeed before any garlic smell would be noticeable - and you'd have bigger problems by that point

Garlic has natural antiparasitic properties, which can help as a preventative measure or as part of a holistic approach to parasite management. However, it’s not a substitute for dedicated medications when dealing with severe infestations.
