UT Strength Feline Pro Chews

Supports Urinary Tract Health

• Cats predisposed to urinary tract distress causes by stress
• Male and senior cats, which are more prone to urinary tract issues.

• D-Mannose is a natural occurring simple sugar that removes "bad" bacteria by attachment and voiding. It's absorbed eight times slower than glucose and, when ingested, is not converted to glycogen or stored in the liver but, rather, goes directly into the blood stream from the kidneys to the bladder. The bacteria displaced by Mannose is responsible for 80-90% of UTIs, whereas antibiotic treatment may cause an imbalance in the normal flora.
• N-Acetyl Glucosamine or NAG is an important form of glucosamine found in the body. It is the form that is used for the production of glycoproteins. The glycoprotein layer in the mucosal lining of the urinary tract has a high content of NAG. This layer of mucosal cells is the protective barrier against acids and bacteria, and it is replaced every 3-4 days. Due to this high cell turnover rate the G.I. tract requires increased amounts of NAG to support structural integrity and functionality.
• Bromelain, corn silk, cranberry powder and probiotics support a normal inflammatory response and a healthy UT environment.
• Colostrum Calming Complex is shown to have a positive effect on emotional states in stressful situations. Cats may be less prone to UT challenges by maintaining a healthy emotional state.
• L-Theanine supports calming and relaxation as well as reduction of irritability. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) helps manage stress and reduce irritability. Thiamine has been shown to balance the central nervous system to help calm and soothe anxious animals.
• GanedenBC30 (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086) is a gram-positive, spore-forming, lactic acid producing strain of Bacillus coagulans with the ability to:
  • Maintain proper biodiversity (variety of all the strains) in the small and large bowel
  • Support proper digestion by producing a wide spectrum of enzymes
  • Utilize undigested carbohydrates and lipids in the small bowel Help regulate gut-associated cytokine activity
• Cranberry powder contains proanthocyanidins, or PCOs, that neutralize free radicals and help prevent the adherence of pathogenic bacteria to the cells that line the bladder and urinary tract. Cranberry has also been used as a urine deodorizer as it decreases the strong smell of ammonia.
