PHYTOPLUS® - SUPPORTING YOUR DOG’S BEST HEALTH AND LONGEVITY
What is PhytoPlus®? How will it help my dog live a longer, healthier life?
PhytoPlus® is a proprietary blend of natural plant-based phytonutrients formulated to protect your dog against the most common health issues that our dogs suffer from, as well as the chronic diseases they increasingly face.
Phytonutrients are natural chemicals only found in plant foods such as vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts, seaweed, mushrooms, legumes, herbs and teas.
Also known as phytochemicals, these plant-based compounds are used by the plants to protect themselves and to increase their immunity. They are widely believed to promote health, slow the aging process and reduce the risk of certain diseases. They may also protect against some cancers, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and other chronic health conditions.
While they can have a profound effect on health, they are not considered nutrients essential for life like carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals.
Although they are not considered essential nutrients, because they are not required to sustain life, they are considered the most vital contributors to elevating food from providing simple nutrition to a diet that supports ultimate good health and wellbeing and a slowing of the ageing process, known as ‘inflammaging’.
Inflammation and oxidative stress are the two most significant factors that contribute to ill health, disease, reduction in quality of life and ageing in our dogs. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Among the many benefits of phytonutrients, the two most vital, are their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Phytonutrients also enhance immunity and intercellular communication, repair DNA damage from exposure to toxins, detoxify carcinogens, are anticarcinogenic agents and alter oestrogen metabolism.
The areas of health and the mechanisms phytonutrients research has shown to protect, and support improvements in, include:
- Ageing – repairing DNA damage (6, 7, 8, 9)
- Eye – reducing macular degeneration (10, 11, 12, 13)
- Joints and Bones – reduction of inflammation (14, 15, 16, 17)
- Skin and Coat – reducing cellular damage (18, 19, 20, 21)
- Brain – reduction in cognitive decline (22, 23, 24, 25)
- Gut and Digestive System – suppression of cytokines (26, 27, 28, 29)
- Heart – improve vascular functioning (30, 31, 32, 33)
- Cancer – regulation of molecular pathways (41, 42, 43, 44)
- Immunity – modulation of the immune system (45, 46, 47, 48)
