All natural digestive aid with 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, as this product breaks down fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and protein. Enzyme and probiotic supplementation is a good preventive measure to ensure good health. No lactose, sugars, or preservatives.

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 based on the anticipation aroma or actual presence of food in the digestive system. Because they are not stored they must be taken with each meal, preferably with the food. Animal Essential's enzymes contain a blend of plant and microbial produced enzymes. None of them are from animal sources.

Each enzyme is highly specific as to the class of food it works on and the temperature and pH of its effective range of activity. Animal derived enzymes will work in only one area of the digestive system, while plant and microbial enzymes work throughout the whole system, from mouth through the stomach into the intestines. As the body ages less enzymes are produced and supplementation is necessary to assure optimum health.

To maintain optimum health in an animal it needs to be fed an optimum diet, but also needs to have digestive efficiency necessary to assimilate the food ingredients. The digestive efficiency can be reduced by stress of any sort, excitement , anxiety (travel separation, working stress and so on). To insure optimum digestion and health we recommend the addition of this supplement to each meal. For optimum utilization the supplement should be added to the food and should be moistened shortly before feeding to be effective.

Since Animal Essential's enzymes are derived from plant and microbial sources they are active throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract not in a specific section, as animal derived enzymes are. These enzymes are active from pH of 3 to 9 and at a temperature of about 100 Degrees Fahrenheit. Animal derived enzymes either work in the stomach at a low pH or in the intestine at much higher pH. Since ours work over a broader range they are active longer in the system at reducing the food into usable components.

      Comments about Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes & Probiotics:

      My dog Murphy is on the BARF diet since he was a puppy. His morning and evening meals he gets his raw food which includes the raw meat. For these meals the plant enzymes are not needed. But he is a high energy Welsh Terrier which means "I want my peanut butter and apples for lunch ... DAD"! With out the plant enzymes, it would go straight thru him". By adding the plant enzymes, he is able to process his lunch. Having the probiotics included is a little wasteful as probiotics are more effective given between meals.

                I have a cat who, it turns out, is one half Abyssinian. She has always had digestive difficulties, producing smelly, oily stools and complaining just before she enters her litter box.I called and spoke with one of your knowledgeable staff and ordered the enzymes/probiotics, and now she is doing so much better. I sprinkle a little and mix it in her food every time I feed her, and the smelly,oily stools have stopped and she's a lot happier. Since so little of the product is needed, it lasts a long time.It must taste good too, because she's happy about eating her food with the powder mixed with it.She does not like it mixed with canned food.

                  Comments about Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes & Probiotics:

                  This virtually tasteless, easily dissolved powder is easy to administer, and went undetected by my finicky kitty. As she is 12, I was eager to add an enzyme and probiotic supplement to help with digestion and nutrient absorption. After reading the great reviews of this product, I decided to try it. I'm extremely pleased with the results--Ivy seems to have regained her old energy, which I attribute to her body's enhanced ability to utilize the nutrients from her food. She's small & takes only a quarter tsp. a day, so the bottle will last quite a while. Great product.

                    You know the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is", was crossing my mind when I was reading the reviews about all the great resluts other pet owner were having with this product.
                    I didn't think anything could stop my dogs diarrhea. She's had it since puppyhood. I was sceptical that it would work with my dog. I've tried so many things that didn't work, even meds from our vet.
                    I had been cooking for her for awhile, it was the only thing that seemed to help at all. I put some of this product into the cooked food, at the same time started adding incresing amounts of regular dog food and gradually less of the cooked food. I'm very happy to say that she is now eating only regular dog food. She is about a year and a half old and for the first time in her life she is not having chronic diarreha.

                      Give with raw food twice daily, add water. Has solved all digestive issues including diarrhea when eating things he shouldn't. He has luekemia and is on chemo and very energetic. Even as a puppy he was not this healthy (may have been a puppy mill dog) . He is now 11 and shouldn't have lived this long. My holistic vet recommended and it has been a godsend.
