Older dogs and cats have specific needs
Older animals have a harder time absorbing nutrients, and tend to excrete more of them through their kidneys. Additionally, some older animals don't have the hearty appetite they once had, either due to dental or other health problems. Studies show that antioxidants and adaptogenic herbs can help boost the immune system and offer added protection against complications that may arise during the aging process.
Here are some nutrients that are especially beneficial for older pets:
CoQ10, a vitamin-like nutrient present in every cell of the body, provides the vital spark needed to produce energy. As animals get older, the body's ability to make CoQ10 diminishes, which is why it's important to make sure your older animal is receiving this supplement. Supplementation with CoQ10:
- Replaces diminishing stores of CoQ10
- Provides powerful antioxidant protection
- Strengthens the immune system
- Supports and protects the cardiovascular system
- Rejuvenates the body on the cellular level
- Helps keep gums healthy

Eleuthero Extract |
Bilberry extract, derived from a fruit similar to the blueberry, contains active ingredients important for eye health and proper vision.
Supplementation with Bilberry extract:
- Accelerates the regeneration of visual purple to support healthy night vision. (Visual purple or rhodopsin is a substance which enables the eye to see in dim light.)
- Enhances microcirculation of blood to the tiny vessels at the back of the eye
- Stimulates new capillary formation
- Supports capillary health by maintaining their integrity, reducing their fragility and promoting their repair
- Inhibits the activity of enzymes that break down collagen — the structural framework for all blood vessels
- Provides antioxidant protection to limit the free radical damage associated with cataracts
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb. Supplementation with Ashwagandha:
- Helps increase energy and endurance
- Strengthens the immune system
- Provides anti-inflammatory, anti-stress and rejuvenating properties
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Reduces cancer cells
Eleuthero extract is found in Siberian ginseng, one of the most revered herbs among herbalists. Supplementation with Eleuthero extract:
- Boosts energy
- Works as an antiviral
- Strengthens the immune system
- Improves physical and mental performance

- Supports the adrenal glands, increasing stress resistance
- Extends endurance

Why should I give my pet a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement?
Extensive research has shown that many modern-day ailments and diseases are caused by nutrient deficiencies, and exposure to environmental toxins. Fortunately, there is something we can do to support the health and the normal growth and development of our pets. By enhancing your pet's diet with a wide spectrum of supplemental vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids, we can help make up for nutritional deficiencies … which means your best friend will stay healthier longer.
So stack the odds in your pet's favor. Start today by giving it the required nutrients it needs for balanced health and the most practical “health insurance” that money can buy.
