Digestive Reset is recommended for dogs and cats to maintain and support ongoing digestive health. It contains Digestive Enzymes to help improve the digestion and absorption of food, Herbs used for soothing and healing the gut, and pre and probiotics to diversify the good gut microbial population. Features ✔ The probiotics contain a special ‘protective coating’ to ensure the highest possible numbers of bacteria survive the journey through the hostile conditions of the stomach, into the gut. ✔ Contains 7 strains of probiotic to help repopulate healthy gut bacteria ✔ Can be used as part of a long-term in-feed strategy to maintain gut and immune health. ✔ Gut dysbiosis can alter neurotransmitter production, which can impact behaviour, mood, and cognitive function. Gut dysbiosis can alter neurotransmitter production, which can impact behaviour, mood, and cognitive function. ✔ L-Glutamine helps maintain a healthy gut by strengthening the cell barrier that prevents damage to the intestines. It also promotes enterocyte proliferation, regulates tight junction proteins, and protects cells against apoptosis. ✔ Prebiotics and probiotics help with digestion, regulate the immune system, and nourish the gut, while also supporting the gut to better utilise probiotics. ✔ Marshmallow root and slippery elm have high mucilage content and demulcent properties. This means they are able to adhere to mucous membranes in the body, such as those in the digestive, respiratory, or urinary tracts. This forms a protective barrier that shields irritated or inflamed tissues from further damage or irritation. ✔ By reducing irritation and inflammation, mucilage and demulcent herbs create an environment conducive to the natural repair and regeneration of tissues. ✔ Chamomile is also traditionally used to relieve digestive discomfort. Chamomile contains compounds like apigenin and bisabolol, which have anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds help soothe irritation in the lining of the digestive tract, alleviating discomfort caused by inflammation-related issues such as gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). ✔ Meadowsweet contains salicylates and flavonoids that reduce inflammation in the stomach lining, helping manage gastritis and acid reflux. ✔ Fennel soothes irritation in the gut lining, making it useful for mild cases of indigestion or gastritis. ✔ Baical skullcap is rich in flavonoids like baicalin, this herb reduces inflammation in the gut, aiding conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
