⭐ Meadow Balance Botanical Forage

A targeted botanical forage blend designed to support digestion and encourage appetite, particularly during periods of reduced interest in food or digestive sluggishness. This mix is intended for rotational use or short-term support, rather than as a constant everyday forage.

Formulated using gentle, familiar leaves and herbs, and finished with a light sprinkle of pea flakes for palatability, this blend encourages natural grazing behaviours while remaining balanced and controlled.

🌱 Ingredients (%)

Dead Nettle – 45%
Carrot Tops – 15%
Peppermint – 10%
Mixed Flowers – 10%
Pea Flakes – 5%

(Total botanical content remains high; pea flakes are included purely as a light palatability aid.)

Yes — this looks simple. That’s because it is. And that’s not a weakness.

🌿 Why This Mix Works

Dead nettle forms the primary base, providing mineral and antioxidant support while remaining gentle and well tolerated.

Carrot tops add natural palatability and encourage interest in food without overwhelming the digestive system.

Peppermint supports digestion and helps reduce gas, included at a controlled level to avoid overstimulation.

Pea flakes add visual interest and help encourage engagement with forage, especially for fussy eaters.

Mixed flowers provide light antioxidant support and sensory enrichment without turning the blend into a decorative flower mix.
