Flaxseed Oil

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, is found in high concentrations in flaxseed oil, which is made from the seeds of the flax plant. Omega-3 fatty acids are used as dietary supplements to treat inflammatory illnesses such allergies, arthritis, renal disease, heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy, and some types of cancer since research has shown […]

Fish Oil

Fish oil is a supplement made from coldwater fish like salmon. Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (DHA). As anti-inflammatory agents, EPA and DHA can be used to treat inflammatory diseases such as skin allergies (atopy) and dermatitis, arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, […]

Echinacea

The purple coneflower, generally known as echinacea, is a nutritional supplement used to enhance the immune system, reduce inflammation, and shorten the duration of upper respiratory illnesses. Since there are various varieties of echinacea, some formulations combine the various varieties. Alkylamide, cichoric acid, and polysaccharide mixtures appear to be the most advantageous. Little scientific studies […]

Dimethylglycine (DMG)

Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a supplement that is frequently used as a performance enhancer in racing animals like dogs and horses due to its alleged ability to reduce lactic acid buildup and thus muscle fatigue. It is a natural byproduct of choline metabolism and is a derivative of the amino acid glycine. Other reported uses/benefits in […]

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an adrenal gland hormone that decreases dramatically with age. Purdue University researchers found that giving elderly dogs 100 mg/kg of DHEA daily as a supplement for seven months reduced the percentage of brain cells with extensive DNA damage by 42%. This suggests that even an elderly animal can benefit from anti-aging treatments. […]

Colostrum

Colostrum is an antibody-rich fluid produced by the mother’s mammary glands in the days following birth. Colostrum also contains several important growth hormones as well as other compounds like lactoferrin for newborns. These antibodies can be absorbed whole by young animals, providing immunity and protection from certain infections for several weeks. Although older animals cannot […]

Coenzyme Q10

In cats and dogs, CoQ-10 is used as a supplement therapy for heart and neurological conditions. It also acts as an antioxidant and is thus used as an adjunct treatment for inflammatory conditions and some cancers. A small number of animal studies have been conducted, but there is some evidence that coenzyme Q-10 can help […]

Chondroitin

The main glycosaminoglycan in cartilage is chondroitin sulphate. It encourages the cartilage to retain water and retain its suppleness, which helps to provide proper stress absorption and sufficient hydration of the tissues that line the joint. Similar to glucosamine, which is frequently included in supplements, chondroitin may also prevent the synthesis of damaging inflammatory mediators […]

Carnitine

Carnitine (L-Carnitine) is an amino acid that is widely recommended as a supplement for dogs with heart problems and dogs on weight loss programmes. It is naturally produced by animal cells and thus found in trace amounts in almost all dog foods. Because L-carnitine plays an important role in fat metabolism, it is frequently added […]
