ThorneVet Gastriplex - Digestive Support for Dogs & Cats - 180 chews

N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine - 100 mg.
N-acetyl D-glucosamine (NAG) helps maintain normal intestinal permeability. It enhances mucus production and is involved in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans, the building blocks of connective tissue. 

L-Glutamine - 100 mg.
Glutamine plays a key role in maintaining mucosal cell integrity and gut barrier function. Glutamine also enhances the gut's immune function, in part by increasing the production of secretory immunoglobulin a (sIgA), an antibody that promotes immunity.

Slippery Elm -100 mg
An herb that contains mucilage which provides soothing protection for the mucus membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. Slippery elm neutralizes stomach acids and soothes inflammation.

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) - 25 mg.
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) supports a healthy intestinal lining by helping to increase blood flow and maintain normal muscle relaxation.

Bacillus Coagulans (1.5 billion CFUs)- 25 mg.
Bacillus Coagulans (Lactobacillus sporogenes) is a safe, effective probiotic that survives in stomach acid and produces L(+) lactic acid in the intestine. Probiotics are successfully used to help maintain a healthy GI tract.

Quercetin Phytosome - 25 mg.
Quercetin, an abundant dietary flavonoid, has significant positive action in the intestinal tract, due to its antioxidant activity. Quercetin scavenges free radicals and its antioxidant effects help promote a health inflammatory response.

Saccharomyces boulardii - 25 mg.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that decreases intestinal permeability. In numerous clinical studies, Saccharomyces boulardii was found to significantly reduce the symptoms and frequency of acute diarrhea and diarrhea related to colitis, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome as well as antiobiotic-associated diarrhea.

Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) - 12.5 mg.
Vitamin B5 is essential for healthy adrenal and immune function. It is considered especially beneficial for pets with food intolerance.

Folic Acid - 50 mcg.
Folic acid is required for DNA synthesis for new cells. Folic acid is commonly deficient in many animals with chronic intestinal disorders.
