Why it works
Wellmune® – A rich source of natural ß-glucans. Glucans are highly researched immune-regulating compounds that work to:
* Strengthen the immune system
* Reduce inflammation
* Increase the body’s resistance to pathogens
Astragalus – Astragalus is a powerful adaptogenic herb with a long history of use in both Chinese Medicine and Western Herbal Medicine. It’s used as a tonic to enhance health, improve disease resistance and increase overall vitality.
Astragalus has many potential benefits for dogs, including:
* Enhanced immune defences
* Improved heart and kidney function
* Enhanced recovery from chronic infection
Astragalus is also beneficial when given as a preventative tonic to support healthy ageing in senior dogs.
Cordyceps – Traditionally used as both a food and a medicine, Cordyceps powerfully supports the body’s immune system, especially during periods of chronic illness. As such, Cordyceps is highly beneficial for dogs as a strengthening agent during convalescence following any type of surgery, and for dogs that are underweight or suffering general debility due to chronic illness or ageing. Cordyceps has been clinically shown to possess potent antioxidant, anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activities, and plays an important role in supporting multiple body systems, most notably the kidneys.
Reishi – Reishi is a medicinal mushroom with remarkable health benefits, especially for pets with a weakened immune system.
With a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reishi is well known for its tonic properties, supporting:
* Healthy immune system function
* Healthy ageing
Reishi also has powerful antibacterial and anti-fungal properties that are said to support dogs prone to recurrent skin infections.
Vitamin D – Vitamin D plays an important role in regulating the immune response in dogs. It does this by stimulating the immune cells that identify and eliminate any pathogens that cause infection.
Unlike humans, dogs are unable to synthesise vitamin D in the skin through sun exposure. Therefore, they rely on the dietary intake of vitamin D to support their health.
