Canigest Paste is a complementary feeding stuff for dogs and cats combining a probiotic, prebiotics, glutamine, kaolin and pectin. It is particularly suitable for feeding to dogs to assist in the nutritional management of digestive tract upsets. Probiotics may improve health conditions in dogs exposed to stress and infections. Studies have shown that supplementing prebiotics such as Fructo Oligosaccharides and Mannan Oligosaccharides can increase the number of friendly bacteria in the colon while reducing the population of harmful bacteria.
Kaolin and pectin act as adsorbants. Adsorbants work by binding to harmful bacteria and toxins and removing them from the gut. Stress on the intestinal cells caused by digestive tract upsets can increase the need for glutamine as the body replaces the cells lining the intestinal tract.
- Enterococcus Faecium - useful nutritional agent in antidiarrheal therapy
- Glutamine plays a role in the health of the immune system, digestive tract, and muscle cells. It acts as a mediator in the development of intestinal epithelial cells
- Probiotics can help to re-establish levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut
