Nature’s Variety Instinct
Raw Boost Real Chicken Recipe (ALS)
Summary
Nature’s Variety Instinct Raw Boost Real Chicken Recipe (ALS) is formulated to combine cage-free chicken as the first ingredient with freeze-dried raw chicken pieces to supply a potent blend of animal proteins and essential nutrients in every bite.
Its primary protein sources—chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, and menhaden fish meal—work together to support strong, lean muscles while delivering a full spectrum of amino acids for maintenance and recovery.
By integrating all-natural, freeze-dried raw bites, the formula preserves heat-sensitive vitamins, natural enzymes, and flavor compounds that enhance palatability and mimic the nutritional profile of fresh prey.
A 41% crude protein content ensures ample anabolic support, while added chicken fat and salmon oil provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to promote a glossy coat, healthy skin and balanced inflammation response.
The 22% fat level offers concentrated energy ideal for both indoor and outdoor cats, while a 12.5% carbohydrate inclusion from peas and tapioca delivers digestible plant-based fuel without grains.
Probiotics derived from a dried Bacillus coagulans fermentation product support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption, thereby minimizing gastrointestinal upsets.
An antioxidant blend featuring dried tomato pomace, carrots, blueberries, and cranberries bolsters immune resilience by neutralizing free radicals and supporting cellular health.
Essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium are precisely balanced to nurture bone development and maintain kidney function across all life stages.
Natural fibers derived from tomato pomace and pumpkin seeds promote intestinal motility, facilitating regular bowel movements and aiding in hairball management.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
