This prestigious collection was hand-picked from Japan and won many awards at Koi shows, nationwide. Most of these fish were not for sale and were the pride of our founder. Fish like this deserve only the best food. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince our founder loved all Koi fish so much, he wanted to share the formulation with all Koi fish owners.

This special diet provides higher daily weight gains, better feed conversion, reduced mortality, and improves their overall health by significantly enhancing and fortifying the immune system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reason that OPTIMÛN has so many beneficial effects is that it is a rich source of nucleotides, a key component of DNA and RNA which play a vital role in cell processes. The production of nucleotides by fish, or any animal, is a time and energy consuming process. The genetic material of all cells is made of two types of nucleotides that are either synthesized - or - taken up in their diet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs each cell divides, it duplicates its genes so that large quantities of nucleotides are needed. Curiously, those tissues which are closely involved with immunity (kidneys and white blood cells) are not able to manufacture these molecules, so they need to import them – usually from the liver. This means that when there is a sudden demand for these cells to multiply, as when infection and disease occurs, the short-term availability of nucleotides may slow the rate of response to this threat. Since nucleotides can be added and taken up from food, a tremendous amount of research has been carried out to see whether nucleotide-rich dietary supplements can help a fish to fight disease. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResults from these studies have clearly shown that an overall increase in health and fitness is quite marked, and since they can be supplied continuously without the fear of overdosing, many problems which arise from immunopotentiators are avoided.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"m-size-14 size-18\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m-font-size-14 font-size-18\"\u003eSho Koi, Impact\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKoi food with OPTIMÛN promotes the rapid and optimum development of specific cells vital during periods of high reproductive performance, as well as viral and other disease challenges. It helps your koi fish maintain an efficient digestive tract during high levels of feeding which result in better food conversion. Research has shown a more effective uptake of nutrients from food during digestion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncreased food conversion results in better growth, improved health, and an increase in energy.
