Protexin Veterinary Cystopro Capsules For Dogs and Cats - 30 Pack

Supporting Canine and Feline Urinary Health Description CystoPro contains an active ingredient derived from cranberries. This active ingredient is a class of antioxidants called Proanthocyanidins (PACs).  CystoPro also contains probiotics, prebiotics and N-acetyl D-glucosamine.   Ingredients  • Proanthocyanidins (Type A PACs) Proanthocyanidins are naturally occurring powerful antioxidants extracted from the North American cranberry.  Type A PACs have an anti-adhesion affect, this means they help to reduce the ability of certain bacteria to attach to the bladder lining. • Probiotic The EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/ NCIMB 10415) 4b1707 acts to reduce pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract and the faeces thereby limiting bacterial colonisation of the perineum. • Mannan-oligosaccharide Created from purified yeast cell walls, Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS), binds to receptors on bacterial fimbriae which prevents attachment to epithelial cells.  MOS is commonly used as a prebiotic to support intestinal microflora. • N-acetyl D-glucosamine N-acetyl D-glucosamine is a precursor to Chondroitin sulphate and Keratin sulphate which make up the Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer that lines and protects the sensitive bladder urothelium. A strong, resilient GAG layer prevents bacteria from adhering to the urothelial cells. • Artificial Chicken Flavour To improve palatability and compliance.
