Vitamins & MineralsVitamins are organic substances that help regulate the metabolism of the body's cells and the processes that release energy from food. The fat-soluble vitamins A,D,E and K can be stored in the body for months or years, whereas the water soluble B vitamins (except vitamin B12) and vitamin C only stay in the body for a short time and need to taken more frequently. The body can make it’s own vitamin D and K but the rest need to be taken either in the food or as supplements.Vitamins A, C and E are well known as anti-oxidants that help protect body cells from damage from the dangerous free radicals that can cause damage to the cell's genetic code. Free radicals are thought to be involved in the development of cancer, cataracts, immune deficiency disease, arthritis and ageing. Try our natural extract Canine Care MultiVitamin or Advanced AntiOxidant, SA37. Minerals are inorganic substances that play an essential role in a wide range of body processes. Of some 60 minerals found in the body, 22 are considered essential for health. Of these, 7 are the macro minerals calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulphur. The remaining trace minerals are needed in minute but regular amounts to ensure strong bones and regulation of the fine detail of the nervous, heart and digestive systems. Many people and their pets are now deficient in important minerals both because diets are too highly processed and because the land the food was grown on is itself deficient. Mineral deficiency has been implicated in the development of cancer and other chronic illnesses. Make up for this easily and quickly by supplementing for health! Our recommended mineral supplement is the
Canine Care Multi Mineral formula, or try
Nutrobal and PetCal. Our pets will benefit from vitamin and mineral supplementation to keep them in great shape when they are young and healthy, when they are ill or injured, as age gets the better of them or if they are simply fed a highly processed diet. They need our help to support their health and recovery. Vitamins and Minerals are amongst the most important supplements we can give.
