The Green Root Acetum Tonic was created using ingredients to be earth wise for late fall, winter and early spring. The language of nature teaches us that wild birds will supplement their diets around the equinoxes, and eat heavily throughout the winter. Fortification is needed in the fall for the harsh winter months that take tremendous energy for a bird to withstand a temperature challenged environment, whether that means extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations.

During winter, the tonic can be used periodically to add "green" and fruit nutrition to counteract a lack of fresh forage on range that is common in most climates during the winter months. It will also provide deep nutrition to fortify core health. In the spring, the tonic can start to prepare poultry for the rigors and stressors of mating, breeding and egg production for the hens.

The Vitality Starter was created for newly hatched and young birds to build a strong internal core and strong physical health. The ingredients are earth wise to the spring and summer when our poultry are naturally breeding and rearing their young. The language of nature teaches us that hens in the wild will feed nestlings highly nutritious greens before they are able to forage for themselves. When the young birds do start foraging, they are taught by their mothers which greens are not only highly nutritious, but medicinal as well.

It is very important in a young bird's life to build a strong immune system and body strength for a rapidly growing body. The tonic give vitamins and especially minerals from a "green" source. It will also support the muskoskeletal system for strength and healthy bones. And finally, it builds the framework for a life-long, strong immune system.
