With antioxidants: EC additives. NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS High protein contribution and their high quality, contribute to maintaining muscle mass. Moderate starch content guarantees good digestive tolerance. The reinforced contribution in soluble and insoluble food fibres contributes to satiety, stimulates intestinal transit and contributes to the balanced development of digestive bacteria in the gut. Richness in vitamin E and selenium, an anti-oxidant complex, protects against cell ageing. HEALTH BENEFITS Healthy skin and shiny coat – essential fatty acids Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids are major components in the development and maintenance of healthy skin. They are responsible for the barrier function of the epidermis and regulate the quality of the sebaceous secretions that make a dog’s coat shine and look nice. With an optimal omega 6 to omega 3 ratio between 5 and 10, they help regulate the inflammatory cascade. Joint mobility – chondroitin sulphate + chitosan Chondroitin sulphate, a natural component of cartilage in the joints, helps maintain the elasticity and resistance properties of cartilage. Chitosan, a purified extract of the shell of crustaceans, increases the biovailability of ingested chondroitin sulphate by protecting it from attacks by acids and enzymes in the stomach and tehn by promoting absorption in the intestine. Urinary health – DL-methionine (controlled urinary pH) DL-methionine, a sulphur amino acid, contributes to the normal acidification of urine, maintaining urinary pH within the physiological norms and limiting the risk of disorders of the lower urinary tract.
