Canine GI Support™ (Viral enteritis (Parvo, Rota, Corona), Pancreatitis, Food Allergy Diarrhea) This product was a key component of the treatment regimen used in a Hepatocutaneous Syndrome case study that was presented at the AAVN’s Symposium at the ACVIM 2003 Annual Meeting and published in the J. American College of Nutrition (abstract).
Feline GI Support™ (IBD, Hepatic Lipidosis, Renal Failure, Viral enteritis) Add these purified nutrients to all enteral feeding protocols or as an enhancement to voluntary intake. Glutamine is used as an energy source by many organ tissues. Carnitine is rate limiting for lipoprotein production (clearing hepatic fat).
These powders may be mixed in the patient’s drinking water before they return to solid food or they may be easily mixed into moist food without palatability concerns. Both the canine and feline versions come in 60 g containers which are labeled both for use in clinic and for dispensing to clients for continued therapy at home.

It is regularly used independently or in conjunction with other therapeutic or treatment programs. This product provides the concentration and flexibility to be used in both the hospital and ambulatory settings. From ulcers to antibiotic-induced diarrheas, feeding the cells and normal floral of the digestive tract will speed recovery times and will enhance existing therapies.
It also provides substantial amounts of the amino acids that are rate limiting for wound healing and primary energy source for enterocytes and renal cells. Indicated as an addition to your current treatment protocol in any GI disease such as (post-emesis):

KEY INGREDIENTS:
- Amino acids such as arginine, carnitine and glutamine contribute to glycogenisis.
- Arginine, when provided orally, stimulates local growth factors and cell replication in the digestive tract.
- Carnitine stimulates protein synthesis and accelerates fatty-acid oxidation, which lowers lactic acid production. It also reduces hepatic fat through lipoprotein production.
- Glutamine is in high demand during metabolic acidosis.
- N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is not absorbed from the digestive tract. It is heavily utilized locally when provided orally and is a structural component of all mucosal surfaces.
- Prebiotics are non-digestible ingredients which selectively support beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
A proprietary blend of nutrients, specially designed to support the equine GI Tract. Provides large amounts of: L-Glutamine (direct energy source for enterocytes); L-Arginine (rate limiting amino acid in wound healing); N-acetyl-D-Glucosamine (a structural component of all mucosal surfaces); Carnitine (amino acid used in clearing hepatic fat) the pre-biotics Amaferm* and Yeast* (for support of the normal GI flora); Salt* (*only used in the Equine Formula). (FOS (Fructoligosacchirides) & Choline Bitartrate are used in the Canine, Feline, and Human formulas).
