Description

Our Colostrum Powder for dogs and cats is the finest 100% human-grade colostrum available for your animal. Certified true colostrum by Cornell University, it is 6-hour, first-milking colostrum. This is far superior to many other similar products that are often partially or entirely transitional milk, which is the milk that follows colostrum. Our colostrum powder is tested ORGANIC free of herbicides, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and steroids. It is the finest available for your dog or cat being low-heat, spray dried to preserve all the natural benefits and no excipients or chemicals are ever added. What Is Colostrum for Canines and Cats Bovine colostrum is Mother Nature's perfect combination of immune factors, growth factors (anti-aging factors), vitamins, minerals, amino acids and more! Research has shown that colostrum has powerful natural components which help bring the body to a state of homeostasis (a powerful, natural state of health and well-being). In addition, the growth factors in colostrum create many of the positive attributes of a healthy organism such as: an enhanced ability to metabolize or "burn" fat, greater ease in building lean muscle mass, and enhanced rejuvenation of skin, muscle and organs (1). We have been very successful using colostrum to heal the digestive tract and other organs, and to support the immune system in instances of allergies, chronic illness, autoimmune conditions and injury. Colostrum has some of the largest amount of documentation of any natural supplement. There are volumes of medical research with more than 25,000 scientific papers in medical journals that document colostrum's ability to provide support for a wide range of pet health issues. What are the Benefits of Colostrum for Dogs and Cats Anti Aging There are 87 anti-aging growth factors in Colostrum that help protect the body against he oxidative stress and degeneration that go along with aging. This is a primary reason why I believe all dogs and cats regardless of age should have their diets supplemented with Colostrum. Of course, pets suffering due to a debilitating condition and our seniors should be the primary recipients of the wonderful healing powers of Colostrum The components in Colostrum of primary importance in the role of anti-aging benefits include insulin-like growth factors (IGF-l and ll). These help activate cell reproduction, regeneration and repair; improve nutrient uptake, increase bone mass, restore skin elasticity, increase lean muscle and more. In addition, growth hormone, whose production diminishes as our dogs and cats age, helps to regenerate organs and tissue. All of the components described above, and many more not listed, are essential to maintaining a vibrant, youthful animal for as long as possible. Impaired Immune Function The thymus gland is sometimes referred to as the center of youth and immunity. It produces white blood cells called T-Lymphocytes, or T-cells. Unfortunately, this gland begins to atrophy and shrink over the course of a lifetime, perhaps explaining why many health problems seem to correlate with aging. Immune and growth factors contained in colostrum help to restore the thymus gland, actually returning it to youthful function and proportions. The substances in Colostrum responsible for this action are: Immunoglobulins – Antibodies that neutralize pathogens in the lymphatic and circulatory systems (2). Lactoferrin – A glycoprotein with antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, catalytic, anti-cancer, anti-allergic and radioprotecting functions and properties (3). Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRP) – Act to establish homeostasis (balance) in the thymus gland (master immune gland) by regulating it when over-active or improving immune response when needed by increasing production of T-cells, lymphocytes and other immune cells. Thymosin – Stimulates activation, development and maintenance of the immune system. Autoimmune Disease Colostrum contains a constituent called Proline-Rich Polypeptide (PRP), also known as thymulin. It is essential for optimal functioning of the thymus and helps to establish homeostasis, regulating the gland and immune system up or down as needed. In addition, the thymus gland contributes to the regulation of tolerance and the prevention of autoimmunity at many levels. Put into simple terms it works to prevent the formation of, or remove from circulation, self-reactive T-cells that are responsible for autoimmune reactions. Inflammation Colostrum contains proline-rich polypepetides that can help regulate the immune system and reduce the over-production of inflammatory substances in the blood stream. Colostrum is also a rich source of MSM, which is a sulfur compound, and a well-established analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Lastly, Colostrum’s rich supply of IGF-1 growth factor helps to support the growth of new tissue as well as repair that which has been damaged. In instances were glucosamine hasn’t worked or its effectiveness has

Lion's Mane Mushroom for Dogs and Cats

Lion's Mane Mushroom for dogs and cats has a very long history of use for its neuroprotective properties and ability to support memory, clarity, focus, nerve health, and mood. The lion’s mane we provide for your dog or cat is certified USDA organic, gluten-free, non-gmo, kosher and grown and processed in the USA. If you are looking for a supplement to support your dog or cat’s brain and nervous system health lion’s mane mushroom is a very good choice. Legend has it that those who consumed Lion's Mane mushroom would have the memory of a lion and nerves of steel and it has been used in China and Japan as a medicinal mushroom for centuries. Available in a 3 oz (85 gram) container 7 Health Benefits of Lion’s Mane Mushroom for Dogs and Cats Lion’s mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), aka hou tou gu or yamabushitake, acquired the lion’s mane name due to its resemblance to a lion’s mane during its development. This mushroom is considered a nutraceutical meaning a food with medicinal benefits(1). The bioactive substances found in lion’s mane are best known for their beneficial effects on the brain and nervous system. However, the benefits of this mushroom don’t stop there and include the immune system, heart and digestive tract. 1. Neuroprotective Properties There is a substantial amount of research on lion’s mane. Studies looking into this mushroom's effects on the brain and nervous system have found that lion’s mane mushrooms contain neurotrophic factors that can stimulate the growth of nervous system tissue, including brain cells, called hericenones and erinacines(2). These plant compounds can cross the protective blood-brain barrier to provide lion's mane mushroom the ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) production. NGF is a neuropeptide that helps maintain neurons, which are the cells responsible for helping your brain process and transmit information. Due to the neurotrophic factors found in lion's mane, this mushroom can offer support to dogs and cats with dementia or cognitive decline as they age.(3), (4), (5), (6). Lion' Mane Mushroom can also support the production of myelin in those dog and cats with neurodegenerative conditions(7). 2. Immune System Support One of the most popular reasons that mushrooms are becoming so popular is for their medicinal properties. Lion’s mane, like the other species of functional mushrooms, contains diverse phytochemicals, including polysaccharides called beta glucans. These bioactive compounds found in lion's mane help to modulate the immune system of your dog or cat, supporting appropriate responses without overreaction(8). The strengthening of immune defenses in a safe manner can benefit animals with a variety of health concerns. In addition, aromatic compounds found in lion's mane, called Hericerin A and hericerin, have shown anticancer activity(9),(10) that may offer benefits to dogs and cats. 3. Benefit Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression It seems nervous system disorders are becoming more common in our dogs and cats. While there are many potential causes of anxiety and depression, chronic inflammation could be a major contributing factor. Amycenone is a nootropic (boost brain performance) compound found in lion's mane mushroom that has been shown in studies to have antidepressant effects(11). This compound has the potential to benefit those dogs and cats with depression or anxiety related to inflammation in their bodies. 4. Protect Against Digestive Tract Ulcers Ulcerations are fairly common in our dogs and cats and are often caused by two major factors: overgrowth of a bacteria called H. pylori (often related to imbalances caused by poor diet) and damage to the mucous layer of the stomach caused by medications, most commonly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The results of studies suggest that polysaccharide compounds in lion's mane mushroom can protect against gastric ulcers and even reduce the size of ulcerated areas(12) potentially benefiting dogs and cats with this condition. 5. Reduce Heart Disease Risk Risk factors for heart disease include obesity and excess levels of triglycerides and cholesterol circulating in the blood. Research is showing that lion's mane mushroom has the potential to mitigate some of these risk factors to benefit our dogs and cats For example, studies have shown that lion's mane can improve fat metabolism and thereby lower triglyceride levels(13), (14). Considering that obesity and high triglycerides are both considered risk factors for heart disease, by improving these metrics lion’s mane mushrooms can contribute to a dog or cat's cardiovascular health. 6. Can Benefit Those with Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body loses the ability to control blood sugar levels. In dogs and cats this condition is often related to a high-carbohydrate, processed pet food diet. This type of diet is not healthy for a canine or feline and can lead to insulin resistance that results in blood sugar levels being co

Myelin Sheath Glandular for Dogs and Cats

Myelin Sheath for dogs and cats helps to rebuild and/or protect the myelin sheath in animals suffering with degenerative nerve conditions such as degenerative myelopathy (similar to multiple sclerosis in humans). Myelin sheath glandular can help increase myelin because it contains myelin basic protein which is an important protein component that comprises myelin. Research has shown it is possible to regrow myelin sheath and many believe, like us, that maintaining existing, and regenerating damaged, myelin can protect the underlying axons from major damage and preserve the health of the nerve (1). We believe that myelin sheath glandular can play an important role in increasing myelin and also offer protection against degeneration of healthy myelin in the case of autoimmune attack. Degenerative conditions in which an animal's own antibodies begin to attack nerve tissue can damage this important protein, a process called demyelination. When this damage occurs nerve signals do not travel from the brain down the spinal cord as they should. This leads to neurological deterioration and cognitive and motor skill dysfunction causing symptoms such as rear-end weakness, visual disturbances and urinary or fecal incontinence in the unfortunate canine or feline. Consumers should be aware that suspected causes of demyelination include toxicity from heavy metals or pesticides linked to vaccinations, food or environmental contamination. Animals that have been vaccinated have higher levels of autoantibodies associated with autoimmune disease, so consumers should be very careful about over-vaccinating their pets. Each bottle of Myelin Sheath contains 45 grams. What is Myelin Sheath in a Dog or Cat? The myelin sheath is a whitish, fatty substance (depicted in above image in yellow) that surrounds nerve fibers forming an insulating and protective layer. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and without it nerve impulses are not efficiently transmitted between nerve cells. The loss of myelin leads to significant nerve dysfunction and slowed or blocked nerve conduction between the brain and the rest of the body. The production of the myelin sheath is called myelination and the loss of myelin as occurs with degenerative conditions is called demyelination. How to Repair Myelin Sheath Naturally in Dogs and Cats? Myelin sheath can sometimes be damaged by a demyelinating disease. This is defined as any condition that results in damage to the protective covering (myelin sheath) that surrounds nerve fibers in a dog or cat's brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. When the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve impulses slow or even stop, causing neurological problems. Although it is well-known that myelin can be repaired by oligodendrocytes (2,3) if it is damaged, scientists do not understand the exact repair mechanisms used by these cells. In certain conditions, myelin unfortunately does not appear to be easily repaired, also for unknown reasons. In addition, nerve tissue growth can be a slow process, so this can make repair of damaged nerve tissue an issue in dogs and cats that have shorter lifespans than their human companions. This makes beginning nutritional support for degenerative nerve conditions as early as possible that more important in our canine and feline companions. However, we know from experience that there are ways to support the body's ability to increase myelin sheath naturally using certain supportive whole foods and supplements: Phospholipids - we know that myelin sheath is comprised largely of phospholipids, cholesterol and protein so providing these nutrients in a highly bioavailable, natural form will help to repair myelin sheath naturally. Myelin Sheath Glandular - this supplement supplies bioidentical nutrients that a dog or cat's myelin sheath can use as "food" to repair itself. Herbs - there are compounds in St. John's Wort herb that have been shown to repair nerve damage. Providing herbs that improve the flow of nutrients to myelin sheath, like ginkgo and cayenne, can help repair this nerve tissue as can herbs like ginger root that reduce inflammation that can further damage tissue. Herbs like hydrangea root and licorice root can help to reduce the autoimmune process that is damaging the myelin sheath in a safe and natural way. Food - whole foods are good sources of nutrients important to myelin sheath repair. For instance, eggs and raw or lightly cooked meats are good sources of phospholipids. Organic herbs, vegetables and fruits are good sources of antioxidants that help to feed and protect tissue while reducing inflammation. It is hard to get these nutrients, that are easily digested and metabolized by the body, from processed foods like kibble. Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics - these nutritional supplements can help to break down food quickly and thoroughly so it is easily utilized by the animal's body as well as keep the digestive tract healthy. This helps to ensure that aging

Nerve Tonic for Dogs and Cats

Nerve Tonic for dogs and cats supports the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and regeneration of damaged nerve tissue*. This nerve healing remedy is an all-natural, alcohol-free herbal tincture that offers support for debilitating nervous system conditions. It is formulated by a certified Master Herbalist using USDA organic herbs and we believe there is no finer formula available to help with situations in which nerve tissue has been damaged through injury or by the immune system as is the case with degenerative nerve conditions like degenerative myelopathy. Our Nerve Tonic can also be a very helpful herbal remedy for conditions associated with aging or nutrient deficiencies like cerebral insufficiency (canine cognitive disorder). Nerve Tonic contains a neuroregenerative herb called St. John's wort; nerve tonics like skullcap, oatstraw and gotu kola that have a strengthening and tonifying effect on the nervous system; circulatory tonics like ginkgo biloba and cayenne that help bring vital blood flow with oxygen and nutrients to nerve tissue along with ginger root that helps to reduce inflammation caused by tissue damage. 5 Benefits of Nerve Tonic for Dogs and Cats The herbs found in Nerve Tonic have been selected by a Master Herbalist specializing in medical herbalism for animals. When combined together their ability to promote the repair of damaged nerve tissue, protect healthy nerve tissue, improve circulation and promote a healthy mood can improve the health of a dog or cat suffering with damaged or declining nerve function related to a variety of disorders. Myelin Sheath is the yellow covering on the nerve cell (neuron) Neuroprotective Activity The herb St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) has been shown in studies to have a beneficial effect on the central nervous system. The CNS is very sensitive to oxidative stress, and it is this sensitivity that plays an important role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Constituents found in Hypericum, especially the antioxidant flavonoid compounds, have been found to offer protection against aging, neurodegenerative disease and other loss of function related to the destruction of neurons (1). Promotes Better Mood Again, the herb St. John’s Wort is of benefit here. This herb has been shown in studies to reduce symptoms of mild to moderate depression more than a placebo and similar to prescription antidepressants (2). St. John's Wort's tested and proven effects on mild to moderate depression appear to be related to the constituent hypericin believed to work as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Though, other constituents may also cause this herb to act as a weak serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (3). Overall, the demonstrated efficacy of this herb in treating depression is likely due to the synergistic effects provided by the components of the whole herb (as we provide in the Nerve Tonic formula), working on the central nervous system (4). Supports an Animal with Nerve Pain Nerve Tonic can help your dog or cat with nerve pain such as neuralgia, spinal nerve pain etc... due to the inclusion of herbal nervines that can help to restore and nourish the nervous system. St. John's Wort (5),(6) and other nervine herbs such as oatstraw and skullcap (7) have shown they can be safe, natural alternatives for a dog or cat with neuralgia. Promotes Circulation Another fact taken into consideration when formulating Nerve Tonic for your dog or cat, is that circulation is a very important factor for animals with nervous system or neuromuscular conditions. For circulation in this formula ginkgo leaf, ginger and cayenne are used to very good effect to bring oxygen and nutrients to peripheral nerves and muscles. Ginkgo’s ability to act as a natural vasodilator to increase blood flow to various parts of the body is well known and can help prevent stokes and cardiovascular disease (8),(9),(10). Ginger root is well known for its ability to increase circulation to the extremities. This is of great benefit to dogs and cats with neurological difficulties as this will circulate ginger's antioxidant activity to help increase cognitive function and reduce inflammation in related blood vessels (11),(12). Lastly, cayenne is another circulatory tonic that helps to bring nutrients to peripheral nerves and muscles. It does this by acting as a vasodilator to allow blood to flow more easily through your pet's system by relaxing the tiny muscles found in blood vessel walls (13). Provides You with the Highest Quality Herbal Supplement to Support a Dog and Cat's Neuromuscular System ✓ Organic Herbs Our formula contains certified USDA organic herbs. Research shows organic herbs have higher amounts of important nutrients as opposed to conventionally raised plants. Organic farming methods are also better for the environment and of course do not have the levels of residual pesticides that conventionally grown herbs can have. We also do not

Glucosamine Sulfate for Dogs and Cats

Our Pharmaceutical Grade Glucosamine Sulfate is the finest and purest glucosamine supplement you can give your dog or cat. It is also the most researched joint nutrient available with over 300 studies, and the most easily and completely utilized form of glucosamine. In fact, it is the only isolated joint nutrient with a 98% absorbability rate in the body! Compare that to chondroitin sulfate that, according to studies, has a 0-13% absorbability rate. Glucosamine Sulfate is a natural nutrient produced by the body and is often recommended as a joint supplement to prevent future joint damage or assist in new cartilage growth. Glucosamine sulfate can be used as a stand alone joint supplement because it provides many primary joint nutrients. Glucosamine sulfate increases sulfur concentrations that feed cartilage (so you don’t need MSM) and naturally stimulates the body’s production of chondroitin sulfate, collagen and hyaluronic acid. It is very safe, economical and recommended for puppies and kittens through seniors. What Makes Our Glucosamine Sulfate Special? 1). Wild ShrimpUnlike most glucosamine in the marketplace that is derived from antibiotic pumped shrimp grown on farms, our glucosamine utilizes wild ocean shrimp collected in an environmentally responsible manner abiding by international quotas. 2. Full TraceabilityAs required by typical pharmaceutical regulations, every step of the harvesting, manufacturing and transportation process is fully documented and traceable by lot number back to its origins. 3. PurityAs outlined in the Drug Master Files, our glucosamine is rigorously produced to achieve remarkable consistency from batch to batch. The unrivaled purity levels and associated consistency ensures that every molecule present is expected and accounted for. 4. Maximum GMP ManufacturingProduced in a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical facility located outside Mumbai, India (one of the few glucosamine products not manufactured in China!). One of the most sophisticated facilities of its kind with strict adherence to cGMP, FDA and EU guidelines. 5. CertificationA material can’t be considered Pharmaceutical Grade unless it is identified as such by legitimate governing health authorities. Our glucosamine has recognized Drug Master Files in over 25 countries. All Glucosamine is NOT Alike Over 98% of all glucosamine on the market is manufactured in China where GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) are absent. This results in the presence of impurities and inconsistencies in Chinese made products that vary from lot to lot. In fact, if you use a glucosamine product right now, you can be fairly certain that, unless it states its origin and purity as we have done, it is likely to test positive for antibiotic agents and antifungals like malachite green and gentian violet. Purchase your joint supplement from a place that goes the extra distance to ensure the health and safety of your dog or cat - like The Pet Health and Nutrition Center!
