Only Natural Pet Senior Canine Formula contains a blend of the following herbs:
Alfalfa Leaf, Organic (Medicago sativa): is a good source of Vitamin K, B vitamins, and the antioxidant chlorophyll, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It has specific benefits for the immune system, skin, and joints.
Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera): is an adaptogenic herb that benefits the whole body. It specifically supports the immune system, thyroid gland, heart, and central nervous system; and it has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties.
Beet Root (Beta vulgaris): supports cellular respiration and is rich in trace minerals and other nourishing co-factors. It is high in B vitamins, potassium, and antioxidants. Betaine, an amino acid found in beet root, is known to support protein synthesis, and protects the heart from homocysteine, a harmful protein produced due to environmental stress, by converting it into the amino acid methionine.
Cayenne Fruit (Capsicum annuum) is a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy inflammatory response, maintains blood circulation, and supports the digestive system, including increasing appetite and supporting overall metabolism. It is particularly important for maintaining the lungs, kidneys, pancreas, heart, nervous system, and stomach.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is an important synergist with other herbs. It is nutritious and contains important antioxidants. As a mild diuretic, it helps maintain kidney and bladder health.
Gingko Leaf (Gingko biloba) is well-known for its support of the brain, but it also contains flavonoid antioxidants that maintain the nerves, eyes, heart, and circulatory system. It helps maintain the healthy flow of blood to all tissues and organs and specifically supports blood flow to the brain.
Kelp (Laminaria digitata) is abundant in calcium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium, and trace minerals including iodine, which is important for thyroid health. It can also help chelate and remove toxic heavy metals from the body. It also supports healthy skin and organ structures.
Milk Thistle Seed (Silybum marianum) is an excellent liver cleanser that supports the body's normal detoxification processes. The primary active ingredient, silymarin, has been extensively studied around the world. It defends the liver against toxic drugs, heavy metals, and molds, including aflatoxin, a potential contaminant in corn-based pet foods, and helps the liver heal and regenerate.
Mint (Mentha piperita) soothes all types of digestive upset and reduces flatulence. It also helps break up congestion and stagnation throughout the respiratory tract.
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a biennial, furry-leafed "weed" that excels at respiratory support by reducing mucus and resisting viruses. It is also used for chronically itchy ears and inflammatory skin issues.
Oatstraw Tops (Avena sativa) provides the flavor and healthy benefits of oats without the starchy carbohydrates. Oatstraw is anti-aging, maintains the immune system, supports the GI system, and maintains proper blood pressure.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is the source of curcumin, a powerful antioxidant with special supportive properties for the immune and digestive systems. It also supports the cardiovascular system and helps cleanse and detoxify the body. Curcumin is one of very few substances that can cross the blood-brain barrier, which allows it to exert its beneficial effects in the brain, maintaining cognitive function in older pets.
Watercress (Nasturtium officinalis) a cleansing herb that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It has traditionally been used to support the respiratory and urinary systems. It also calms the stomach, stimulates the appetite, supports red blood cell production, supports immune system function, and helps the body to detoxify.
