Finally an all natural digestive aid with
BOTH plant enzymes and probiotics.
This product assists in the
digestion and absorption of nutrients which are necessary to maintain
good health. It relieves the extra burden placed on the digestive system
because this product breaks down fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and
protein. This formula replenishes enzymes that are easily destroyed by
the normal processing of commercial pet food. Enzyme and probiotic
supplementation is a great preventative measure to ensure good health.
Enzymes Present in the Formula:
- ALPHA AMYLASE: helps in the digestion of carbohydrates by
helping to hydrolyze the alpha 1-4 glycosidic linkages of
polysaccharides to dextrin, D-glucose, maltose and oligosaccharides.
- BETA
AMYLASE: works on the end of the starch molecules instead of in the
center, as does alpha-amylase and results in the production of sugars
from the starch molecules.
- PROTEASES: work on proteins
to reduce them to individual amino acids (what they are composed of);
some of these are acid stable proteases that start their work in the
stomach. Proteins take the longest and are the most difficult food
component to digest. With acid stable protease the decomposition starts
earlier in the digestive tract, thus providing more complete digestion.
- LIPASE:
helps to metabolize fats (triglycerides). The fats are broken down into
mono glycerides, diglycerides and glycerol. If given in larger
quantities the Lipases can enter the bloodstream and help remove excess
triglycerides from the arteries and the veins improving circulation.
- CELLULASE:
as the name implies, breaks down cellulose (fiber) by helping to break
down cell walls, resulting in both necessary solubleand insoluble
fiber.
- HEMICELLULASE: hemi cellulose and an
amorphous (sticky) type of cellulose that form long strings as
cellulose, is crystalline. This enzyme helps break this polymer down
into its individual sugars---primarily xylose.
- BROMELAIN:
is extracted from pineapple (Ananas comosus) and is a protolytic
(protein) digesting enzyme, that helps break the proteins into oligio
peptides and amino acids.
- PROBIOTIC: is a lactic acid
producing bacteria, which bears spores. These organisms exhibit the
characteristics of both the genera Lactobacillus and Bacillus. Because
they are encapsulated in spores these organisms are protected from the
environment and heat. They are activated in the gut by the hydrochloric
acid, producing lactic acid bacteria. Treatment with antibiotics results
in the killing of these bacteria, which guard against yeast colonies
(candida yeast species). These desirable bacteria inhibit the growth of
putrid bacterial in the intestine, thereby maintaining the balance of
intestinal flora.
- CALCIUM SULFATE: the primary carrier
or excipient for this product is food grade and adds a minimum amount of
calcium to the diet, about 200 mg per gm of product.

This product contains NO LACTOSE, sugar or
preservatives.
Active Ingredients:
Alpha &
Beta Amylase, Proteases, Lipase, Cellulase, Hemicellulase, Bromelain,
Probiotic - Bacillus coagulans.
Directions:
Add 1/4 teaspoon to each cup of food.
A small, very economical sprinkling each day will relieve extra burden
placed on the digestive system by breaking down fats, carbohydrates,
cellulose and protein.
Digestive enzymes are special types of protein molecules that
catalyze the breakdown of food into components that can be utilized by
the body. These proteins are not stored in the body but are released
into the digestive system based on the anticipation aroma or the actual
presence of food. Because they are not stored they must be taken with
each meal.
Animal Essentials’ enzymes contain a blend of plant and microbial
produced enzymes, none of which come from animal sources. Animal derived
enzymes will work in only one area of the digestive system (stomach and
intestines), while plant and microbial enzymes work throughout the
whole system, from the mouth through the stomach into the intestines.
Since our enzymes work over a broader pH range they are active longer in
the entire digestive process, reducing the food into usable components.
As your dog or cat’s body ages less enzymes are produced and
supplementation is necessary for optimum health. Digestive efficiency
can also be reduced by excitement, anxiety or stress of any sort
(travel, separation, working stress, etc.). To insure optimum digestion
and health we recommend the addition of this supplement to each meal.
The food should be lightly moistened and the enzymes added to the food shortly before
feeding to be optimally effective.
Each enzyme works on a specific type of food and these are listed
on the More Information Tab along with the other key ingredients probiotic and calcium.
