Benefits
- MOS (mannanoligosaccharides) – binds potentially pathogenic bacteria preventing them from adhering to the intestinal wall and excreting them safely with the faeces
- Beet pulp – a moderately fermentable fibre that produces butyrate, a short chain fatty acid (SCFA), which is a preferential energy source for the enterocytes and promotes intestinal health. helps regain optimal stool consistency
- FOS (fructooligosaccharides) – prebiotics which aid in GI health and have been shown in a clinical study to help maintain the balance between beneficial and potentially pathogenic bacteria
- Low fat levels – decrease the workload of the pancreas and help digestive function that can be compromised by Gi issues. Help minimise steatorrhea*
- Targeted omega-6: omega-3 fatty acid ratio – helps nutritionally manage inflammation at the cellular level
- Vitamin E – an antioxidant to help maintain a strong immune system
- DentalCare System (Dry formula) – to help reduce tartar build-up across the whole mouth during and beyond mealtime
- High quality animal-based protein – aids in recovery and overall health and well-being
