Over 33 years of Natural Rearing/Raw Feeding experience and research went into the sourcing of unique ingredients used to produce a completely updated version of this traditional daily Vitamin-Mineral blend.
SFRAW Healthy Powder contains “best in the world” sourced 100% organic whole-food ingredients that help fill in the gaps that may be seen in home-prepared fresh food diets which rely on various butcher cuts of meat/organs/bones, etc. instead of feeding whole prey.
The ideal nutritional template for dogs & cats is that of wild foraging whole prey animals eaten off the natural substrate in nature (soil, etc). Wild-foraging species of whole prey include nutritional components missing from butchered and processed for human consumption animals such as the fur/feather, hide/skin/connective tissue, and blood.
In addition, the nutritional profile of wild-foraging prey species (protein, fats, bone and organs nutrient density) differs from that of domestically raised species of animals raised for food and processed for human consumption. Our soils have, over time, become depleted of minerals and beneficial microbes.
We have learned just how important it is to fill in these nutritional “gaps” created with the removal of these parts from the natural animal through modern processing, as well as possible nutrient gaps found in wild sourced foods.
Healthy Powder with Living Bone is a pre-mix that provides an easy way to prepare balanced meals at home or to take on the road to make quick easy meals while travelling – simply combine with locally sourced fresh meat, meat with organs or meat with eggs.

The "BONE" BIOAVAILABLE LIVING BONE POWDER CALCIUM replaces an essential and required amount of calcium normally provided by raw, fully consumable whole or ground bones in a fresh foods diet.
- The living bone powder (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite calcium) we use is for human consumption from grass-fed/finished, hormone & antibiotic-free, BSE-free cattle raised in New Zealand that has been tested for heavy metals & contaminants. Calcium in bone meal occurs as a calcium phosphate compound known as hydroxyapatite.
- Living Bone is microcrystalline hydroxyapatite calcium; also known as Whole Bone Extract or Freeze-dried Beef Bone Powder. All animals have passed ante and post mortem veterinarian inspection at the time of processing. Conversion of the raw material occurs at the company’s purpose built and fully export licensed factory in New Zealand, and the freeze-dried bone extract is produced exclusively to the company’s proprietary process, which preserves the naturally occurring bioactives in the freeze-dried bone powder and ensures they are present in the correct physiological ratios. This makes it one of the most complete and effective bone health ingredients available today.
- New Zealand is a unique region of the world which remains largely unaffected by certain environmental pollutants and is a country that has maintained strict bio-security measures to keep their farming industry clear of certain diseases such as BSE.
- Certified non-GMO, dairy-free, made without gluten, soy-free.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF FREEZE-DRIED LIVING BONE:
- Small peptides found in the protein fraction of the freeze-dried bone powder play an important role in bone remodeling by stimulating osteoblast formation and activity.
- Contains a minimum of 24% calcium and 10% phosphorous in a microcrystalline structure for improved absorption and bioavailability.
- Minimum of 22% bone protein, including up to 20% type I collagen and growth factors to enhance absorption and promote bone formation.
- Contains a range of trace minerals as well as glycosaminoglycans found naturally in healthy bone matrix.
- Independent testing verifies low levels of lead, making this freeze-dried bone powder compliant with stringent Californian proposition 65 requirements.
- BSE and other prion diseases do not occur in New Zealand. A national surveillance program is in place to provide monitoring for prion diseases, also known as Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs).
- Every batch is tested for heavy metals and total aerobic count, Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella.
The “FEATHERS & FUR” prebiotic fiber component is represented by the following ingredients:
- OUR CAROB is 100% raw (this is exceptional, most “raw” carob powder is actually pre-roasted), organic and incredible food that supports gut health and digestion as a prebiotic low-glycemic insoluble fiber, and it also provides beneficial vitamins & minerals. As a traditional nutritive herb, carob was used to help prevent joint dysplasia when fed to growing puppies. Carob is an excellent source of calcium and potassium, and also contains magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc. It is a valuable source of vitamin B6, C, D, and E. Our Australian carob is the best quality and best tasting carob in the world and is 100% Certified Organic and Non GMO.
- PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER is a source of organic, gluten-free, low-glycemic insoluble fiber that maintains healthy bacterial balance in the gastrointestinal system as a prebiotic. It is well tolerated by most animals.
The “HIDE, SKIN, CONNECTIVE TISSUES” collagen component is represented by:
- COLLAGEN from grass-fed/finished, BSE-free, heavy metal & contaminant-free beef for cellular repair throughout the body – particularly supportive of joint, gut and skin health.
The “BLOOD” and trace mineral component is represented by:
- KELP is an excellent source of iodine as well as sodium, potassium, magnesium and contains more than sixty bio-available minerals, vitamins, fiber, and a host of bioactive compounds and phytonutrients. Our certified organic kelp is an Icelandic blend of different species that is third-party tested for heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides, petroleum residues, radioactivity, and microbiological concerns.
- DULSE is a good source of potassium, iron, and other essential minerals and vitamins, and it contains about 20% protein. Hand-harvested from carefully selected beds of the North Atlantic to be in compliance with Organic standards, ensuring maximum quality and minimal contamination. Tested for heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides, petroleum residues, radioactivity, and microbiological concerns.
- SPIRULINA gram for gram, spirulina may be the single most nutritious food on the planet. It is an excellent source of protein (with all essential amino acids and similar in composition to eggs), vitamins and minerals including iron; carotenoids, GLA, SOD, and phycocyanin. Our spirulina is certified organic and Non-GMO Project Verified.
“ANTIOXIDANTS” for living in a toxic world:
- OUR OWN WHOLEFOOD VITAMIN C – we prepare own organic superfruit blend for the best, cleanest and most useable and biologically recognizable forms of antioxidant vitamin C. We blend together Organic Acerola Cherries, Organic Amla, Organic Rosehips, Organic Camu Camu as a complete complex that includes ascorbic acid, bioflavanoids, and important co-factors required for proper tissue growth and repair, red blood cell formation, collagen production, and adrenal gland function. While dogs make their own vitamin C, natural reserves may become depleted during periods of growth, breeding, illness, increased physical activity or stress. Using a 100% whole food source of vitamin C is important for the body to recognize the many beneficial compounds found in this powerful antioxidant.
