What’s Inside Our Krill Oil Supplement?

1. Krill oil: Two quite out of the ordinary reasons for using krill oil, a. Astaxanthin, b. Omega 3 fats in phospholipid form, which is much more bioavailable than the triglycerides, usually the type in most other oils. Astaxanthin is one of the most potent antioxidants, which inhibit oxidation and formation of free radicals that are associated with most of the chronic diseases, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, etc. among others. As for phospholipid forms of omega 3 fats, EPA and DHA being the primary ones, they are much more potent and bioavailable than the triglycerides or ester forms. 

 

2. Oil from anchovy, sardine, mackerel and herring fishes: The krill oil is ably complemented by the oil from a combination of sustainably sourced wild-caught mackerel, sardine, herring and anchovy for enhancing the amount of EPA/DHA and other omega 3 fats.
3. Wild Alaskan salmon oil: Full of omega 3 fatty acids, primarily EPA and DHA, salmon oil is believed to help reduce the risk of heart disease, improve brain health, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin, among others. It is thought to increase blood flow, while reducing triglycerides and blood cholesterol. DHA, in particular, is equally in important in brain development and function, thus helping greatly in cognition and memory loss prevention.
4. Cod liver oil: It is naturally high in vitamins A and D, omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. In fact, it is one of the very few natural sources of vitamin D. It is highly beneficial against chronic diseases, such as arthritis, rickets, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, etc. Since it provides great support to the hips and joints and minimizes inflammation of joints or ligaments every day, your furry friend can potentially live an active and healthy lifestyle throughout.
5. Astaxanthin: To further augment the antioxidant power of our krill oil supplement, we have included additional astaxanthin, so your pooch gets all the protection it needs and stays health and energetic.

What’s Inside Our Probiotic Pro:

1. Spore forming probiotics: Unlike the vast majority of pet food industry using vegetative bacteria of Lactobacillus, Enterococcus or Bifidobacterium genera, Science4Pets uses the two most effective spore forming species, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis. These spore-forming probiotic species offer the advantage of unsurpassed survival rate during the acidic stomach passage and far superior stability during the manufacturing, transportation and storage of the food product. Furthermore, studies have shown that spore itself exerts an immunostimulatory effect which serves to exclude the colonization of the gut by harmful pathogens. This makes them a much better fit for fortification as probiotics in the pet food products. Many of our competitors even try to confuse regular customers by providing the number of species from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium or some other genera, whereas some others mention the apparently high cfu count as if that makes up for the mediocre product. To find out why spore forming bacteria are one step ahead of the pack, please visit our blog on the topic.
2. Digestive Enzymes: Several different enzymes to boost the digestion and metabolism of the food and nutrients your loving friend eats and needs. They include alpha-amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, pectinase, mannanase, xylanase, b-glucanase, and bromelain.  
3. Herbs: A powerful combination of unique Ayurvedic and other herbs to maintain the overall health and vitality of your pet by improving the digestion and metabolism. They include, aloe vera, licorice root, ginger, fennel seed, slippery elm, rosemary extract, Jerusalem artichoke, pumpkin seed powder, etc. among others. 
4. Prebiotics and other nutrients for the microbes: Several different prebiotics and other vital nutrients for creating a highly conducive environment for the probiotics to grow, multiply, colonize, and thrive well in the digestive system.
5. Krill powder as the astaxanthin source: One of the most powerful antioxidants used commercially is astaxanthin. No other probiotics product from our competition contains astaxanthin coming naturally from krill powder.
6. Fruits: Two most popular fruits consumed the world over as banana powder and apple flakes. No need to sing their virtues separately here.
7. Miscellaneous: Some other ingredients, such as apple cider vinegar, known the world over for its potential health benefits and brewer’s yeast as the base that improves the palatability and overall appeal of the product.

What’s Inside Our No Coprophagia – No Eating Stool:

1. Unique Spore forming probiotics: Unlike the industry standard that uses vegetative bacteria of Lactobacillus, Enterococcus or Bifidobacterium genera, Science4Pets uses not just one but the two most effective spore forming species, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis. The vegetative species are quite susceptible to general industrial process of cooking, extrusion, irradiation, etc. as well as heat, cold, stress and other such environmental factors including the stomach acidity itself. That is not the case with spore forming Bacillus genus as they are highly resistant to any such conditions while also having immunostimulatory effect, which serves to exclude the colonization of the gut by harmful pathogens.
2. Digestive enzymes: Several different enzymes to boost the digestion and metabolism of the food and nutrients your loving friend eats and needs. They include alpha-amylase, protease, lipase, pectinase, papain, and bromelain.

They include dehydrated pumpkin, yucca, Jerusalem artichoke, red pepper, parsley, chamomile, peppermint, rosemary extract, etc. Together, this active blend of ingredients along with probiotics and enzymes offer digestive support and help your pet from stool-eating episodes, while reducing yellow stained spots on the lawn not to mention the carpet.
