Features and Benefits:

Contains eight sources of dietary fibre. This balanced blend of insoluble and soluble fibre types promotes optimal hindgut health and normal gastrointestinal motility

Sources of the insoluble or structural fibres lignin and cellulose include timothy hay, soybean hulls, and peppermint leaves, which all help to maintain the health of the cecum and large intestine.

Fermentable or soluble fibre (hemicellulose, pectins, oligosaccharides) in the form of beet pulp, soybean meal, inulin, papaya, and xanthan, maintains a robust population of functional microflora in the large intestine and cecum.

Contains all essential amino acids.

A complete and balanced source of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and nucleotides.

Hydrolyzed soy protein is an easily digestible protein, which helps the body quickly rebuild lean body mass.

Oat grain and wheat flour are readily digestible complex starches that provide energy when commensal microbial function might be impaired.

Peppermint leaves serve as a source of structural fibre as well as a tasty enticement for self feeding.
