Comments:
This formula is designed to address some of the most common liver disorders in cats. The liver is remarkable in its ability to regenerate itself after injury. Repair is best achieved using products that are hepatoprotective and hepatorestorative. Adding in products that support Phase I and Phase II detoxification, antioxidants, and lipotropic agents, often can produce a return to normal liver function.
Silymarin is a nutraceutical extract from the herb Milk Thistle, Silybum marianum. Silymarin appears to have liver protectant and liver restorative properties. Studies have shown that Silymarin will lower liver enzyme values. The herb Curcuma, also called Turmeric, may have the ability to help hepatocytes regenerate themselves. With liver damage, oxides and free radicals are often produced. Lipoic acid is gaining increased attention for its role as a biological antioxidant. As lipoamide, it functions as a cofactor in oxidative decarboxylation reactions of pyruvate, alpha-ketoglutarate and branched chain ketoacids. Dimethylglycine is an effective methyl donor and can assist in phase liver detoxification. The detoxification pathways of the liver require certain nutrients, including cyanocobalamine, methionine, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate. N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) is derived from the amino acid cycteine, and is a stable thiol compound containing a free sulfhydryl group. NAC is a nutritional precursor for the liver's primary antioxidant, glutathione.
| DMG 11.25 mg | DMG will increase energy to the liver cells and promote liver detoxification and protein metabolism by its ability to donate methyl groups. |
| Pyradoxal-5-phosphate 1.25 mg | The liver needs to produce new cells to heal itself, and pyridoxine is needed for cell growth. Pyridoxine is often deficient with cases of liver disease. Its inclusion in this formula will benefit all tissues of the body, as well as the liver. |
| Choline citrate 20 mg | Choline is important for the processing of fats and regulation of the gallbladder. Adequate levels of choline will keep fat from being deposited in the liver (it is a lipotrophic agent). |
| Inositol 45 mg | Inositol is important for the processing of fats and regulation of the gallbladder. Adequate levels of choline will keep fat from being deposited in the liver (it is a lipotrophic agent) and improve gallbladder function. |
| Cyanobobalamine 12.5 mcg | B12 is an essential vitamin needed for the formation of new red blood cells and for healthy nerves. It may become deficient in chronic liver disease, causing a variety of problems including anemia. |
| Methionine 22.5 mg | Methionine helps metabolize fats, preventing their buildup in the liver (it is a lipotropic). It is also a powerful antioxidant, and helps maintain glutathione. Glutathione is perhaps the liver's most important detoxifier |
| N-acetyl-l-cysteine 22.5 mg | N-acetyl L-cysteine is an effective liver detoxifier. One of its most important functions is its ability to recycle glutathione to its reduced state. Glutathione is perhaps the liver's most important antioxidants. |
| Silymarin 11.25 mg | Silymarin comes from the herb Milk Thistle. It has powerful liver protectant and liver restorative properties. Numerous studies have shown that Silymarin will lower liver enzyme values. |
| Turmeric (Curcuma longa) 11.25 mg | Curcuma, also called Turmeric, has well- documented research supporting its use as a hepatocellular regenerator. |
| Alpha lipoic acid 2.5 mg | Lipoic acid has potent antioxidant, antiviral, free radical quenching and immune-boosting qualities. It reduces the development of cirrhosis. Overall, Lipoic acid reduces the oxidative damage that occurs in many liver disorders. |
