Adored Beast Supplements for Dogs and Cats, Healthy Gut - Digestive Enzyme / Pre & Probiotic

Ingredients:

• Multi Strain Probiotic Blend

  Probiotics enhance the immune response of the digestive tract. Lactic acid bacteria produce lactic acid which inhibits yeast growth by lowering intestinal pH and blocks the receptors or adhesion sites of pathogens, creating a barrier against infectious organisms. 15 billion allergen-free CFU (colony forming units) to defend against harmful gut bacteria by repopulating the digestive system with friendly bacteria.

• Papain

  Papain, a substance derived from the unripe tropical fruit papaya, is a proteolytic enzyme. Papain helps the body break down protein foods, like animal meat, and is commonly used to support the improvement of gastrointestinal dysfunction and digestive issues. Chemicals in Papain may increase immune system function and they may also promote the release of natural chemicals that attack tumor cells. Papain is anti-parasitic.

• Bromelain

  Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme mixture derived from the stem, fruit, and juice of the pineapple plant. When taken with food, it aids in the proper digestion and absorption of food as it breaks down protein. When it is taken between meals, it is absorbed intact and circulates through the body where it exhibits anti-inflammatory and pain relieving actions. It is beneficial for the cardiovascular and circulatory systems, as well as the digestive system.

• Larch Arabinogalactan

  Prebiotic Larch Arabinogalactan is a Larch tree extract that supports colon health. It is often used as an effective adjunct to cancer therapies due to its ability to stimulate the immune system and block metastasis of tumor cells. Its uses in people include chronic fatigue syndrome, viral hepatitis, HIV/ AIDS, and autoimmune diseases. It is also commonly used for infections.

• Betaine

  Betaine HCI is a delivery form of Hydrochloric Acid. In the stomach, the Hydrochloride Acid converts pepsinogen to pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down protein. When taken as a digestives supplement, Betaine HCI promotes the production of additional Hydrochloric Acid in the stomach which may aid digestion and assist in the absorption of proteins, calcium, iron and B12.

• Porcine Pancreatin

   

  Porcine Pancreatin 8X USP is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the porcine pancreas. It has eight times more enzyme activity than the USP standard. This product provides protease, lipase and amylase to assist in digestion and to improve the absorption of fat, protein, and energy. When taken away from food, it exerts anti-inflammatory and pain relieving actions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Adored Beast Apothecary’s founder, homeopath Julie Anne Lee, is here to answer your questions. Her life’s work is to help all animals live healthier, happier, longer lives.

Do I have to use this for the life of my pet?

No, Healthy Gut is used to help the body to correctly digest food and to add pre and probiotics. It is best used in rotation with Gut Soothe and Love Bugs to give a comprehensive balanced-gut health care plan.  We do have customers that feel their animals do better when they use Healthy Gut on going. This could be because the animals have a compromised ability to produce the proper amounts of its own digestive enzymes so you will see all sorts of benefits from the Healthy Gut. Examples are increased energy, lessened arthritic pain …this is simple because they are able to digest their nutrition :)

Can this be used for cats?

It is excellent for cats, especially those that suffer from hairball issues!

Can I use this if I feed dry food?

You absolutely can! If feeding commercial kibble or processed food of any kind, adding digestive enzymes will encourage the digestion of more of the nutrients in the food. It will help the body “break down” the dry food and help with nutrient absorption. You may notice reduced stool volume which would be an indication of more of the food being used by the body.

What is the shelf life of Healthy Gut?

Minimum of 12 months.

Does this need to be refrigerated after opening?

The product is freeze-dried, so while refrigeration is not necessary, we believe it will help to maintain optimal freshness.

For optimal freshness, store in a cool, dry place away from heat, light, and moisture.

What is the difference between Gut Soothe and Healthy Gut?

Both products have the same base – the pre and probiotic blend that makes up Love Bugs. Gut Soothe has the added herbal components that target inflammation and can soothe the mucosal lining. Healthy Gut has the added digestive enzyme components.

Why are there clumps in my Healthy Gut?

If moisture builds up, the digestive enzymes in Healthy Gut can clump together.

If your jar contains clumps, just break down those clumps and mix it together really well.

We add silicone packages to absorb the moisture, rather than adding it to the mixture. We didn't want to mix in silicone dioxide, because we don’t think animals should be eating it.
