80% of your dog’s immune system is in their gut. Few other supplements can have such a large impact on the immune system and health than probiotics. Our 5-Strain Immunity Blend is designed to feed friendly bacteria, discourage the growth of harmful bacteria, manage acute diarrhea, metabolic disease and obesity, protect against food allergens and help absorb key nutrients.
Gut health issues are usually caused by the digestive system not processing properly. The simple solution is to replenish the important enzymes that aid proper digestion. Protease breaks down protein into amino acids. Amylase breaks down sugar. Lipase breaks down dietary fats. Other enzymes work in the same way to include all the necessary nutrients in blood circulation.
Amino acids for dogs help in the same way as they do humans. Taurine aids in cardiac function, eye health, immune system function, and in multiple other systems. Taurine is especially concentrated in the heart muscle and contributes to it functioning properly.
DHA, a component in omega-3 fatty acid, aids in the proper brain and eye development of puppies. DHA may also improve brain function in older dogs dealing with canine cognitive dysfunction. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can help to treat canine arthritis and chronic kidney disease.
Zinc Proteinate (Chelated Zinc)
Zinc is the second most commonly used mineral in your dog. Zinc Deficiency can lead to issues including diarrhea, lack of appetite, hot spots, weight issues and even death. Unfortunately it is difficult to absorb zinc on its own. Zinc Proteinate is created when zinc is bound to an amino acid, making it much more absorbable. Chelated minerals are absorbed at two to five times the rate of the same minerals.
Vitamins are some of the building blocks of dog health. Vitality Bites includes Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, Niacin, Vitamin E, B1 Pantothenic Acid, B6, B2, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Vitamin B-12 to help promote healthy cardiovascular function, support liver health, reduce oxidative stress and enhance immune response.
Vitamin C is found in natural foods like oranges, tomatoes, bell peppers, kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower and strawberries. It can help the immune system, wound healing, collagen production and weight management. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant that helps protect cells from free radical damage. Vitamin C also helps absorb iron from food. A lack of Vitamin C can lead to health problems in dogs like decreased protection from infection and delayed wound healing.
