Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from a standard grit mix?
The unique addition of nettle and chlorella sets this apart from conventional grit products. Most grit mixes focus purely on calcium and mechanical digestion — Urtica-Chlorella Mineral Mix adds blood-purifying botanicals and high-protein freshwater algae for a significantly broader nutritional and health benefit.

What does nettle do for pigeons?
Nettle (Urtica dioica) has well-established blood-purifying and anti-allergic properties. It stimulates the separation and excretion of acids and waste products from the muscles — particularly beneficial during the racing and moulting seasons when metabolic waste accumulation is highest.

What is chlorella and why is it included?
Chlorella (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) is a freshwater microalgae with exceptional nutritional density. Dried chlorella has a protein content of approximately 60% and is rich in chlorophyll, essential amino acids and vitamins. It contributes directly to muscle development and cellular health in pigeons.

How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed between uses. Keep away from moisture to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage of the seeds and botanicals.
