The 13 Active Neutraceuticals in Immune Aid for Dogs

Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.

Beta Carotene (Vitamin A Precursor): A safe and effective way to provide the building blocks for vitamin A, which is vital for vision, appetite and growth.

Curcumin: An active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium.

​Glutamic Acid: A natural flavour enhancer and an important nutritional support for natural gut health during times of stress.

​Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Crucial for maintaining the natural anti-inflammatory action of the body.

Toxin Binders: A blend of microscopic absorbent compounds that aid the natural expulsion of antagonists found in feed and the environment.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): Essential for the manufacture of collagen and a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues.

Prebiotic (Fructo, Galacto & Mannan): Support the natural expulsion of antagonists in the digestive tract and maintain a high level of natural immunity.

Piper Nigrum (Black Pepper)​: Supports the retention in the metabolism of some active nutraceuticals e.g. curcumin.

Selenium (inc. Protected): An important antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin E.

Vitamin C: Essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals. It directly affects the level of tissue growth and development and the maintenance of the body's immune system.

Vitamin D3: Crucial for bone development. Also important for the immune system, fertility and the release of insulin.

Vitamin E: A biological antioxidant and essential for healthy reproductive, muscular, circulatory, nervous and immune systems.

Yeast Cultures: Aids the body in generating triggers for dealing with foreign bacteria in the body.

The 4 Active Neutraceuticals in the Oatinol Delivery System

Oatinol is a natural high quality oil based concept developed by and unique to GWF Nutrition. When incorporated into the feed it supplies the following four active nutraceuticals to:

• Maintain gut cell integrity.
• Maintain the lining of the gut.
• Support the immune system.
• Aid the absorption of active ingredients, vitamins and trace elements.

Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers: ​Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.

Natural Tocotrienol Antioxidants: ​Tocotrienol antioxidants are a natural form of vitamin E. They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption.

Oat Derived Beta Glucans: ​Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption.

Phospholipids: ​Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and have been shown to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption.
