Alfalfa

Organic Alfalfa is a good laxative and natural diuretic, which promotes urine flow and is often used to treat urinary tract infections and eliminate excess retained water. Alfalfa is especially useful for replacing vitamin K that is depleted during treatment with a wide variety of drugs, including antibiotics. Alfalfa acts as a blood purifier, and has helped many arthritis sufferers. The action as a detoxifier and blood purifier has been found to be beneficial for a variety of illnesses, including liver disorders, breath odor, infections, disorders of the bones and joints and skin ailments. Alfalfa contains a high calcium and magnesium content.

Amino Plus

A combination of essential amino acids needed but not manufactured in sufficient quantities by the canine. Most proteins contain 19 or more amino acids, during digestion the protein in the feed is broken down into its constituent amino acids, which are absorbed and ultimately utilised by the canine for building body protein. There are believed to be seventeen amino acids, which the dog cannot synthesise adequately and therefore dog must be supplied with in the diet. These essential amino acids are Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, L-Taurine ,Myristic ,Palmitic, Stearic, Oleic, Linoleic, Linolenic, Lycopene, Isoleucine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Leucine, and Valine.

Cayenne Extract

(Capsicum frutescens/) - Although it tastes hot, capsaicin actually stimulates a region of the brain that lowers body temperature. Capsaicin treats the pain and reduces Osteo - arthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis, as well as joint or muscle pain from other causes. Evidence is shows the use of capsaicin for stomach ulcers. Capsaicin is used also for to help treat cystitis (bladder inflammation). Canine research shows that capsaicin has value in improving blood flow to the heart (for example, in the case of heart disease from atherosclerosis [plaque] blocking the arteries to the heart) and reducing risk of an irregular heart rhythm.

Thinning of the blood and better circulation - Like garlic, cinnamon is a blood-thinning agent. Though not as powerful as garlic, cinnamon also acts to increase circulation. Recent studies have shown that cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory compounds that are useful in reducing the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. There is much evidence that cinnamon is aids in the prevention of canine tooth decay and gum disease. Cinnamon has been proven a powerful antimicrobial agent, one that has the ability to kill germs as E. coli and other harmful bacteria.

Cobalt Sulfate is the only known canine requirement for cobalt is as a constituent of Vitamin B12, which has 4% cobalt in its chemical structure. This means that a cobalt deficiency is really a vitamin B12 deficiency. Microorganisms in the digestive tract are able to synthesize vitamin B12 needs if the diet is adequate in cobalt. Normally, cobalt is not stored in the body in significant quantities. The small amount that is stored does not easily pass back into the intestinal tract where it can be used for vitamin B12 syntheses. Therefore, canine must consume cobalt frequently in the diet for adequate B12 synthesis. Injected cobalt is ineffective.

Copper Sulfate

Copper Sulfate is required in the formation of hemoglobin, red blood cells as well as bones, while it helps with the formation of elastin as well as collagen - making it necessary for wound healing. A lack of copper may also lead to increased blood fat levels. It is also necessary for the manufacture of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline as well as for the pigmentation of your dogs hair.

The shear repopulating on a daily basis not only crowds out the negative pathogen but also consumes these pathogens and turns them into food for the beneficial species and the dog itself.

Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle protects and regenerates the liver in most liver diseases such as Cirrhosis (hardening of the Liver), Jaundice and Hepatitis, (inflammation of the Liver), and Cholangitis (inflammation of bile ducts resulting in decreased bile flow). One of the tasks of the liver is to cleanse the blood. If the liver energy is stagnant, it will be unable to effectively cleanse the blood; this can result in skin problems ranging from acne to psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.

Sage

Sage fortifies a generally debilitated nervous system. Instead of sedating the nervous system as some nervine herbs do, it actually stimulates the central nervous system, strengthening it to reduce excess nervous energy. Mucous congestion in the nasal passages and airways of the respiratory tract is also dried by the use of Sage. Its drying effect is also used to treat diarrhea. Sage promotes good digestion and is considered one of the best remedies for stomach troubles. Sage stimulates the appetite, eases gas pains, removes mucus in the stomach, relieves biliousness and dyspepsia, and is beneficial in digesting foods of all kinds, both savory and sweet. Its "bitter" component stimulates upper digestive secretions, increasing bile flow and pancreatic function, and it is said to keep the stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver, spleen and sexual organs healthy.

Salt

Salt has an alkalinizing effect on the canine body. The sodium it contains is critical for osmotic balance and to solubilize other minerals in the blood.
