Proanthozone Derm For Dogs
Nutrient & Antioxidant Supplement
Proanthozone is recommended for the nutritional
management of skin and coat problems, especially those associated with allergic
dermatitis.
Skin, Coat & Allergy Support Formula For Dogs
Allergies and skin diseases have maintained their
position at or near the top of the list of reasons why owners take their pets to
the veterinarian other than annual appointments and injuries. In a client
monitored response trial of 37 dogs, 97% showed improvement while on
Proanthozone Derm. On average, a moderate response was recorded in 2-3 weeks.
84% reported good or excellent improvement within 6 weeks of use.
Like the original Proanthozone, the basis of this
formula is bioflavanol from grape seed extract. Polyphenolic antioxidants, such
as bioflavanol, have been shown to inhibit enzymes that promote histamine
release, inflammation, and allergic reactions. Additional antioxidant support
comes from vitamins A and E and the mineral zinc. This essential core of
ingredients from the original formula has been enhanced with omega fatty acids,
alpha-lipoic acid, and spirulina for better skin and coat support.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are included in optimal
proportions to support healthy cell membranes and to help control inflammation.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent fat- and water-soluble
antioxidant that is able to regenerate other antioxidants.
Spirulina is a form of blue green algae rich in beta
carotene, vitamin E, and other essential amino acids. It is highly bioavailabe
and enhances protective antibodies. Spirulina also has a direct antihistamine
effect.
Using antioxidants in conjunction with other treatments
is an economic way to improve results.
Proanthozone Derm is not recommended for use in
cats. The formula contains alpha-lipoic acid, which can be toxic to
cats. The amount we use is below the toxic level, but long-term effects at lower
levels have not been determined.
Main ingredients:
Bioflavanol, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Zinc, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Omega-3 and Omega-6
Fatty Acids, Spirulina, and vegetarian flavoring
For years, veterinarians have used the original
Proanthozone formula in atopic dogs and have achieved positive results, often
using it as an adjunct to more conventional therapies. Nonetheless, allergies
and skin diseases have maintained their position at or near the top of the list
of reasons why owners take their pets to the veterinarian. New Proanthozone Derm includes ingredients for enhanced dermatologic use, such as omega-3 and
omega-6 fatty acids, alpha-lipoic acid, and spirulina.
The basis of the formula is bioflavanol from grape seed
extract. Polyphenolic antioxidants, such as bioflavanol, have been shown to help
prevent mast cell degranulation and inhibit enzymes that promote histamine
release, inflammation, and allergic reactions. Additional support comes from the
antioxidant vitamins A and E and the antioxidant mineral zinc. Alpha-lipoic acid
is a potent fat- and water-soluble antioxidant that is able to regenerate other
antioxidants, such as vitamin E. Spirulina, a form of blue-green algae rich in
beta carotene and vitamin E, enhances protective antibodies without enhancing
those associated with allergies (IgE antibodies). Spirulina also has a direct
antihistamine effect. Omega fatty acids are an important addition to the formula
for controlling inflammation and supporting healthy cell membranes.
