Since FORTAN vita germ oil is tasteless, it can be easily mixed into any food, whether dry or wet. Its liquid form makes it easy to measure and ensures even distribution in the food bowl. If desired, owners can also combine the germ oil with fresh egg yolk or a little honey to create a special treat for their dog. Germ oils are known for their content of carotenoids such as beta-carotene. These plant nutrients can be converted into vitamin A in a dogs body. This allows for a natural way to supplement a dogs diet with a broader nutrient profile, without resorting to synthetic additives. The animals body only absorbs as much beta-carotene as it actually needs. FORTAN vita germ oil can also be applied externally. As a soothing skincare option, it can be gently massaged onto dry, chapped skin areas, for example. This additional application can help make the skin appear more supple.
