No I don't Ann. Almost any green vegetation would contain a similar compliment of vitamins and amino acids, and there is no known benefit to feeding enzymes and yeast and fungal fermentation products are often a source of allergies in humans.
Nor do I believe any of the health claims made can be supported with scientific study. They would only help if there was a specific dietary deficiency of any of these nutrients, which should not occur on our feeding guidelines.
The one nutrient that might be of benefit, if the diet deficient in energy, is the 10% fat. But the primary ingredient is seaweed. In general we are very slow to recommend seaweed products as they may contain excessive amounts of iodine and if fed in substantial amounts, to get benefit from the fat for instance, might be fed to the point of toxicity.
