Exclusive LifeSource Bits® Now Enhanced with Super 7 Antioxidants
LifeSource Bits contain a precise blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants selected by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists. And now all BLUE Life Protection Formula dog foods feature LifeSource Bits that have been enhanced with the Super 7 package of antioxidant-rich ingredients:
Apples
Blackberries
Blueberries
Cranberries
Pomegranate
Pumpkin
Spinach

The ingredients in LifeSource Bits help support:
Immune system health
Life stage requirements
Healthy oxidative balance

And LifeSource Bits are "cold-formed" to help retain the potency of their ingredients. This means that BLUE minimizes the amount of heat that LifeSource Bits are exposed to during the manufacturing process. It’s the same concept as when you cook vegetables at high heat—the longer you do, the more heat-sensitive nutrients are lost.
