This Scientifically Formulated Senior Dog Multivitamin Includes the Following Active Ingredients per Chewable Tablet:
WATER SOLUABLE VITAMINS: Have to be supplied on a daily basis because they are continually broken down and excreted.
- Thiamine – 8mg
- Promotes a good appetite and normal growth. Is required for energy production.
- Riboflavin – 4mg
- Promotes growth.
- Pyridoxine – 4mg
- Important in the metabolism of proteins and in the formation of red blood cells.
- Pantothenic Acid – 7mg
- Required for energy and for protein metabolism.
- Niacin – 11mg
- A constituent of many enzymes that process carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
- Folic Acid – 0.02mg
- Works together with vitamin B12 in many of the bodies chemical reactions.
- Biotin – 0.003mg
- A component of several important enzyme systems.
- Choline – 8mg
- Required for proper transmission of nerve impulses and for utilization of sulfur-containing amino acids.
- Vitamin C – 50mg
- Participates in the formation of bones, teeth and soft tissue. Is an antioxidant that is helpful during times of stress. It is abundant in fresh foods, but is killed during the high temperature processing of dog foods.
FAT SOLUABLE VITAMINS
- Vitamin A – 1500 IU
- Necessary for proper vision, especially night vision. Important in bone growth, reproduction, and maintenance of tissues such as the lungs, intestines and skin.
- Vitamin D3 – 75 IU
- Critical to the dog’s ability to use calcium and phosphorus for bone and cartilage growth and maintenance.
- Vitamin E – 25 IU
- An Antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage. Especially important for muscular and reproductive function. Helpful during times of stress. Is abundant in fresh foods, but is killed during the high temperature processing of dog foods.
PSEUDOVITAMINS
- Inositol – 8mg
- Primary function is to keep fats collecting from the body particularly in the liver. It is efficient in converting nutrients into energy. The highest levels of Inositol concentrations are found in the heart and brain; inositol works with neurotransmitters in message circulation.
MINERALS: Minerals are present in small amounts in the tissues of all living things. Teeth, bones, muscles and nerves have especially high mineral content. Minerals can be divided into two groups: the major minerals and the trace minerals.
MAJOR MINERALS: required in gram amounts each day
- Magnesium
- Essential for many of the cells enzymatic reactions. Also helps promote the absorption and metabolism of many other vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C and E, calcium and phosphorus. Important in bone growth and development.
TRACE MINERALS: required in milligrams or microgram amounts per day.
- Iron 4mg
- Is present in every cell in the body. It is particularly important, along with protein and copper, for the production of red blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to every part of the body.
- Manganese – 1mg
- A component of many different enzyme systems in the body. Most importantly it activates enzymes that regulate nutrient metabolism.
- Zinc – 2mg
- Important in the metabolism of several vitamins, particularly the B-vitamins. Zinc is also a component of several enzymes needed for digestion and metabolism and it promotes healing as well. Your dog needs zinc for proper coat health. Some breeds of dogs have problems with absorption and/or utilization of zinc. These dogs develop poor hair coats and dry, scaly skin with sores particularly on the nose and mouth, and stiff joints unless they are supplemented with zinc.
AMINO ACIDS
- Taurine – 50mg
- Found in several organs with widespread benefits. Taurine’s direct roles include: Maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance in cells, forming bile salts, which play an important role in digestion, regulating minerals such as calcium within cells, supporting the general function of the central nervous system and eyes, regulating immune system health and antioxidant function.
