ProPower Multi –
A Multi-Functional Pet Food Supplement with Microencapsulated Vitamins, Minerals, Probiotics, and Enzymes
Product description:
Our ProPower Multi is a multi-functional nutritional vitamin and minerals supplement for dogs and cats. It is entirely different from every other product out there. First, all the vitamins are microencapsulated, meaning encapsulation at the micro level, so they are well protected from break down until reaching the stomach. Second, all the vitamins are non-Chinese and of highest quality available anywhere. We are not aware of any other product for dogs or cats that is both non-China and microencapsulated. Third, it contains two of the most effective, highly viable spore-forming probiotics as opposed to vegetative genera of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium or Enterococcus species. These probiotics are supported by the presence of prebiotics for effective colonization and establishment. Fourth, several different types of enzymes are included to support the digestion and metabolic process in the gut. Additionally, it contains a blend of sprouts, taurine, and other macro and trace minerals to boost the health and general well-being of your loving friend. No artificial color, flavor, preservatives or toxins.

Product comparison:
There is basically no comparison with any of the products out there in the market as virtually none of them appear to include microencapsulated vitamins. Further, our product contains all non-Chinese vitamins, which is also rather rare since a vast majority of vitamins used in pet foods, treats or supplements are manufactured in China. We are not aware of one single multi-vitamin and mineral supplement powder that has both the microencapsulated and non-Chinese vitamins at the same time. It also contains several other unique characteristics, highly effective spore forming bacteria for probiotics, prebiotics, several digestive enzymes, sprouts, and other unique ingredients. So, for what it is worth, below is a table that provides comparative characteristics along with the product prices. As you can see, there are some question (?) marks in the table as it's not clear about the origin of vitamins, which in most, if not all, cases are likely to be Chinese.
