WHY SHOULD I USE PARROT
PALM FRUIT EXTRACT?
It is derived from the natural food source of the African Grey Parrot, the Fruit
of the West African Palm Nut. Parrot Palm Fruit Extract comes in an unrefined
state having only been cold pressed and filtered to remove solids left over from
the pressing process.
Lets do the science shall we?
Palm Fruit Extract contains a balance of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and
saturated fatty acids. In addition Parrot palm Fruit Extract also contain
essential substances such as linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid which the
body cannot manufacture) and tocopherols and tocotrienols, which act as natural
anti-oxidants against damaging free-radicals.
In some human trials it has been found to lower harmful LDL-cholesterol.
A Palm Fruit Extract enriched diet has also been shown a reduced tendency to
blood clots.
Parrot Palm Fruit Extract is a major source of carotenoids which inhibit some
types of cancer.
It is also a major source of beta-carotene (15 to 300 times more than carrots
and green vegetables, which is a precursor to Vitamin A. Among the functions of
vitamin A are improved night vision), healthy mucous membranes and skin, bone
growth and reproduction. Vitamin A when derived from natural and synthetic
sources can be highly toxic when taken in overdose quantities. Parrot Palm Fruit
Extract provides the alpha and beta carotenes the body needs to manufacture its
own vitamin A, so never leads to an overdose.
Parrot Palm Fruit Extract is also 100%
Cholesterol Free.
Easily digested Parrot Palm Fruit
Extract is absorbed and utilized for support of healthy growth, contributing
towards energy reserves, thermal insulation, organ protection, tissue membrane
structure and cell metabolism.
Parrot Palm Fruit Extract is also a valuable source of plant material derived
Vitamin E. The principle role of Vitamin E appears to be as an anti-oxidant. It
prevents the oxidisation of unsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids and Vitamin
A. It may also help cell membrane stability and be essential for neurological
function.
Lets sum that up in
plain English. It is 100% natural. Improves feather colour,
especially the reds, orange and yellows. Increases skin condition and feather
tone. Improves general health and heart condition and can also lead to improved
breeding results.
HOW TO USE
A quarter to half tea-spoon daily is plenty. Parrot Palm Fruit Extract will
spread straight from the jar, so spread on a piece of toast for a pet bird,
mixed into egg food instead of water, or spread onto fruit and vegetables. Warm
it up a few degrees and the solid Fruit Extract melts to it can be drizzled onto
what ever your birds favourite snack may be. The only place where it is
inappropriate is to add it to the seed, most of the Fruit Extract will be wasted
as the bird eats the inside of the seed not the shell with the Fruit Extract on
it. Parrot Palm Fruit Extract can also be used in conjunction with Frozen
Palm Nuts.
