Ingredients

• Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen Type I & III: Collagen contains peptides that support immunity. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that make up proteins but are easier to digest and absorb. Collagen is naturally abundant in the body's connective tissues and bone marrow, and decreases with age. Collagen’s structure contains important amino acids for modulating immunity and cell-protective activity.
• Organic Carrot Powder: Nutrients in carrots support eye health (lutein) but also help to maintain a healthy heart. The intense pigments in carrots are also antioxidants: anthocyanins and carotenoids. Carrots also supply natural beta carotene.
• PRALISUR™ Micronized Algae (dried algae meal): Comprised of more than 50% beta-1,3-glucans. The beta-1,3-glucan from this form of algae has been shown to activate animals’ immune systems. Well-supported research, dating back 70 years, shows that beta-glucans play a role in cytokine production associated with a responsive immune system. They also help with antibody and white blood cell production.
• Dried Tomato Pulp: Tomato is a food source of lycopene, an important antioxidant for eye health and the heart. In addition, tomatoes contain vitamin C, phenols and flavonoids.
• Natural (Organic) Beef Flavor: This flavor component contains no meat and is acceptable for pets with beef allergies. It provides a delicious taste that pets find very appealing.
• Brown Rice Flour: Added for improved texture and flavor.
• L-Taurine: This amino acid is essential for a healthy, functioning immune system, heart, and eyes. (Low levels of L-Taurine have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM.)
• L-Carnitine Tartrate: Another amino acid that is essential for a healthy heart, it also helps the body produce energy, aids muscle recovery, and is an antioxidant.
• Dried Apple Pectin Pulp: The bioactivity of pectins have shown immunoregulatory and antioxidant benefits.
• Broccoli Sprout Extract: This extract is a source of sulforaphane, known for its health protective properties. The compounds contained in these sprouts have been shown to potentiate cellular defenses. Broccoli sprout extract is highly bioavailable and easy to absorb, making it a potent antioxidant.
• L-Glutathione: Considered the ‘master’ antioxidant because of its ability to protect the body's cells from oxidative damage. L-glutathione also works to create and repair DNA, assists in the synthesis of prostaglandins which actively deal with inflammation, and promotes the breakdown of toxins. It is an essential part of the immune system.
• Quercetin Dihydrate: Derived from plants and often used as a natural antihistamine, quercetin has been studied for its biological actions on the immune system and the inflammatory process. It is part of a group of flavonoids (a beneficial part of many foods) known for their antioxidant properties.
• Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol succinate): Vitamin E is essential for healthy immune function. It is a powerful antioxidant and helps provide protection to cells.
• Vitamin A (beta-carotene): Beta-carotene is a water-soluble precursor of vitamin A, another important antioxidant for the body. It is essential for the immune system, healthy vision and eye health, and the skin. Beta-carotene is a carotenoid found in many fruits and vegetables.
• Selenium: This is a trace mineral and antioxidant important for protecting against oxidative damage. Selenium is needed for production of thyroid hormones, reproduction and DNA synthesis, and cardiovascular health.
