Nutravet launches Nutramarin+

nutramarin+

Nutravet is pleased to introduce Nutramarin+ into its veterinary exclusive range of animal health products.

Nutramarin+ provides an advanced, fast-acting triple action formula to naturally support and maintain healthy liver function in dogs & cats.

Launched in addition to the hugely successful Nutramarin, Nutramarin+ provides an advanced high strength double enteric coated sprinkle capsule.

With the majority of SAMe products being tablets, these unique sprinkle capsules allow for easier administration, either open the capsules and sprinkle the contents into an animal’s food or administer the capsule whole.

The capsules are also double enteric coated to allow their transit through the stomach to the small intestine before being released where they can be absorbed to have the most positive effect.

The unique formulation of SAMe, Silybin and Turmeric extract (Curcumin) combine to naturally support and maintain healthy liver function in pets. The triple action formula of Nutramarin+ is designed to support optimal liver health by increasing the natural antioxidant levels required by the liver to maximise liver detoxification, aid the natural systems that control inflammation and help reduce free radicals.

Commenting on the introduction of Nutramarin+, Matthew Shaw, Managing Director of Nutravet said: “Nutramarin has received excellent feedback since its launch in March (2020). Following feedback from practices and pet owners we have launched Nutramarin+ which are easy to administer sprinkle capsules. Nutramarin+ gives pet owners a veterinary strength product that allows them to support their pet’s liver health in an easier to administer form.”

Nutramarin+ is available to order directly from Nutravet authorised veterinary practices.

All Nutravet products are manufactured with minimal environmental impact and sustainability in mind and is sold in packaging made from 100% recycled materials.

Chitosan for dogs and cats

Chitosan for dogs and cats

Chitosan for dogs and cats is recommended by vets to support kidney function. It binds with the phosphorus in the body, limiting its absorption and supporting healthy renal function.

Chitosan is a sugar that cannot be found naturally in foods but is obtained from the hard-outer skeleton of shellfish, including crab, lobster and shrimp.

Chitosan from Icelandic shrimp shells bind toxins in the digestive tract which helps to support kidney loading. It has been used by some vets to chelate fat with the apparent benefit of reducing tendencies to pancreatitis. It has recently been recommended to slow the progression of chronic renal problems in dogs and cats by decreasing the absorption phosphorus.

Kidneys play and important role including filtering waste products, controlling osmolality and regulating blood pressure. The flow of blood to the kidneys is important, as kidneys filter blood, remove waste and extra water to make urine.

When kidneys are not functioning properly, toxins build up in the blood and pets can become ill and need veterinary help. Kidney function in pets is known to decline with age, and this can be associated with a decrease in renal Omega-3s and an increase in inflammation. Kidney failure is pets is relatively common but feeding them a good quality diet and providing them with a constant supply of fresh clean water will help to support their kidneys.

Chitosan supplements

If you are looking for Chitosan for dogs and cats, Nutraren is recommended by thousands of vets throughout the UK and Ireland. Nutraren’s synergistic combination of natural ingredients including high purity Omega-3, aid renal function, bind toxins and support an animal’s quality of life.

Nutraren helps to bind toxins in the gut which aids healthy blood flow into the kidneys where a stable balance of body chemicals can be achieved and waste products and excess fluid from the body are removed.
