Why Choosing Synthetic-Free Pet Food Matters: A Look at Carna4

Did you know that many pet foods—even those labeled as natural, holistic, grain-free, or organic—still contain synthetic vitamins and minerals? These “pre-mixes” are often made in overseas factories and added to meet nutritional standards after the food has been heavily processed. While this may check off the boxes for pet food regulations, it doesn’t always mean the nutrients are easily absorbed—or even safe—for your pet.

Thankfully, there’s now a better option. With Carna4, you can give your pets complete nutrition without relying on synthetic additives.

Why Whole Food Nutrients Are Better

Nutrients work best when they come from real, whole foods. Carna4 uses a unique sprouted seed blend that provides naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and enzymes. Your pet’s body recognizes these nutrients and uses them more efficiently because they come in a form nature intended.

In contrast, synthetic nutrients—made in labs—are isolated compounds that the body often doesn’t fully absorb. It’s kind of like trying to drive on a wheel that’s not attached to a car. Without the support of other natural compounds, synthetic vitamins don’t do the job as well.

Longer-Lasting, More Effective Nutrition

Naturally occurring probiotics, like the ones in Carna4, are much more stable and effective because they’re surrounded by other helpful microbes and prebiotics in their original food form. These probiotics can even withstand the gentle heat used in Carna4’s baking process—unlike synthetic probiotics that quickly die off outside of lab conditions.

Synthetic vitamins also tend to break down quickly. Up to 90% of them can be destroyed by the high heat and pressure used in typical pet food processing. Even when added later, they continue to degrade over time—Vitamin A, for example, can lose up to 30% potency each month.

Hidden Risks of Synthetic Additives

Many synthetic ingredients come with hidden dangers:

   •   Heavy Metal Contamination: Industrial by-products used in synthetic minerals can contain arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, and nickel.

   •   Harmful Preservatives: Common preservatives like BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, and TBHQ are linked to health concerns. Even ingredients labeled as “natural” may have been preserved at the refinery with these additives before being added to the food.

   •   Cancer-Linked Compounds: Some synthetic fat-soluble vitamins may include BHT, a substance noted for its potential to cause cancer.

And if a pet food package doesn’t list preservatives? That doesn’t mean they aren’t there. It just means no extra preservatives were added beyond what came with the raw ingredients.

Imported Additives in “Made in USA” Products

Many people are surprised to learn that most synthetic vitamins used in U.S.-made pet foods are still imported. Even top U.S. manufacturers use imported Vitamin A, Vitamin D, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), thiamine, and more. Only a few nutrients, like choline chloride and natural-source Vitamin E (from soy oil), are still made in North America.

The Carna4 Difference

Carna4 eliminates the need for synthetic additives by relying on nutrient-rich, whole food ingredients. This means:

   •   No synthetic vitamins or minerals

   •   No lab-grown probiotics

   •   No questionable preservatives

   •   Nutrients that your pet’s body actually recognizes and uses

With Carna4, you can feed your pet with confidence—knowing they’re getting complete, balanced nutrition the natural way.
