This whole food supplement contains ingredients which may have been lost from processed food or which may be missing from a raw food diet.
The enzyme formula provides high potency, multiple enzymes which help to replace the food enzyme activity lost in the cooking and processing of food.
It provides amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, glucoamylase and taurine in a whole food base of alfalfa, barley, wheat grass, garlic, flax seed and safflower.
In addition, the beneficial intestinal micro-organisms Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum are included.
Liver has been added to enhance the flavour.
Cats have evolved as carnivores and as such the importance of protein and fat in proper metabolism and good health cannot be under-stated. Even so the food must be digested for its nutritional value to be realised. Most commercial cat foods consist of a combination of cereals and meat proteins. Heat processing makes many of the nutrients difficult to digest, especially proteins. The feline gastro-intestinal tract is extremely short and ingested foods move quickly through the tract, making digestibility highly critical for cats.
The inclusion of a whole food blend provides additional natural vitamins and minerals, which are often missing from commercial pet foods, where synthetics are added to account for the loss which occurs with processing.
