Pythium was first discovered by researchers investigating how roots protected themselves in the soil. It’s a microscopic algae that works via mycoparasitism. In essence, it consumes other fungi for sustenance and survival, killing that organism in the process. It then creates zoospores that actively seek out more of that fungi and its spores. Once it’s eaten everything it drops off the body and back into the soil where it lived.
I’ve tried this on many dogs now for many issues, and it’s highly effective. I tried it on my dandruff – instant fix. And on my friend’s athletes food. Done! I even had this rough patch of dry, red skin between my shoulder blades for years. Now gone too.
First developed by Czech scientists, Propythium is a patented formula containing Pythium oligandrum (there are many types, some cause disease, P. oligandrum eats them too!) that is suitable for dogs, cats and horses.
It is available in 3 forms – effervescent tablets, a moisturising oil and an ear cleaner (click each to download the product info, these are included in each box).
