As the title suggests, any ideas for a more cost effective alternative to Selenavite? Or maybe a combination of ingredients to replace it? Cheers 👍🏻

Yes. But I don't bother with vit/min supplements these days tbh.

It's highly concentrated. Only 2.5 ml of this per kilo I was told

Not needed if your other ingredients are vitamin rich. I didn't find it made any difference at all (and that's in campaign fishing)

What about swapping out the Selenavite for kelp meal?

I wouldn't know. I don't know what vitamins are in all of the other ingredients I use either 😂
I use Selenavite because I was told to but was told kelp is good too

What levels are you using of Selenavite E in your mix currently ?
Normally I aim for 10g per kg mix, If I have other contributing vitamin or mineral ingredients.
My last 500g tub cost me just under £9 last time I bought some, roughly 0.20p per kilo
or if it is fairly low, or a bland mix, say attractor 50/50 mix, I would use maybe 15g/kg.
Another option is Equivite, an old skool vit/min horse supplement, a bit white and gritty, and not as concentrated, dosage wise, as Selenavite E.
But smallest tub is 3 kilo I think, price varies from £20 to £24, but the postage can up it a lot. But a local Equine shop may help you out.
Even using this at, say, 25 grams per kilo, it still works out similar to the Selenavite E.
But you use that or a mix of the two perhaps?

Cheapest I can find is around £15 for 500g, so I think (my maths is bloody awful so please correct me if I'm wrong) that works out at 60p per kilo of basemix at an inclusion rate of 20g or 2%

Dark Knight, here you go. Sounds pretty good.
Kelp Meal is an animal feed supplement made from the seaplant Ascophyllum nodosom. It is harvested from the seaweed from the cold, clean waters of the Maine coast. The live plant is quickly dried at a low temperature to preserve its valuable vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, and alginates. Kelp meal is a naturally balanced supplement containing over 100 micronutrients. It fulfills the requirements in animals for trace elements that are often lacking in land-grown feeds and pastures (due to erosion or leaching), and standard mineral mixes.
Kelp Meal as a Supplement
Kelp meal is a rich and dependable source of 60 minerals and elements including iodine, 21 amino acids, and 12 vitamins (including A, C, B12, thiamin, and vitamin E or tocopherol). Because the minerals are in plant tissue they are easily digested and assimilated. Many of the trace minerals contained in SeaLife are essential for producing enzymes which in turn promote healthy body functions.
