The Most Advanced Koi and Ornamental Fish Foods

Important Facts:

At the risk of having this feel like we are taking you back to high school biology it is very important to understand that nucleotides play a central role in the cell process of our koi (cell reproduction). The process by which cells reproduce is imperative to all living organisms and fundamental to their biological functions. For a single cell to reproduce, it is necessary for its DNA to be duplicated. Amazingly, every strand of DNA contains approximately six billion nucleotides!!  Just as amino acids are the building blocks of protein, nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA. When we consider that koi fish must produce millions of new cells, every second, just to maintain the “status quo”, it is easy to understand that during times of stress, reproduction, environmental change or challenge, combating disease and recovery from an injury, trillions of additional nucleotides must be readily available for cell reproduction.

Challenge:

The tissues that are responsible for enhancing the koi’s immunity (kidneys and white blood cells) are not able to manufacture nucleotide molecules… they need to be imported from the liver. Importing nucleotide molecules from the liver consumes a lot of energy and takes a lot of time. Unfortunately, under the many threat’s koi fish typically face, time is of the essence!

OPTIMÛN  Solution:

Good news - As mentioned above, nucleotide molecules can now be synthesized (produced in a lab). They can simply be added to the diets of our koi fish and taken up in the food they eat. Well, we’ve done just that with SHO KOI, IMPACT! Our koi food contains the right amount of nucleotide molecules, that we call OPTIMÛN , that provide the maximum benefit to koi fish. OPTIMÛN dramatically enhances and fortifies their immune system by simply allowing the immune system to address all threats immediately. It also helps the fish to maintain a more effective digestive tract during feeding resulting in better food conversion (a more effective uptake of nutrients during food digestion). Better food conversion results in:

1) Better growth,

2) Increased energy,

3) Less fecal waste - reducing the amount of ammonia and nitrates in the water, and

4) An extra layer of protection against waterborne pathogens and disease.
