Description

Description This is an over the counter product - it does not require prescription.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.
