IT IS A CAREFULLY SELECTED SET OF FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS THAT HAVE SHOWN TO PROVIDE HEALTH BENEFITS, HELPING THE BODY TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, MAINTAIN A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE AND INCREASE LIFE EXPECTANCY.
WHAT FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS DOES IT CONTAIN AND WHAT DO THEY PROVIDE?
ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM is a seaweed from the North Atlantic Ocean, where it grows on rocky shores of coasts and estuaries. It is cultivated in Ireland, Scotland, and Norway for its content of florotannins and alginic acid, as well as being rich in other organic acids, polysaccharides, amino acids, and proteins. Daily intake of this seaweed has been shown to reduce the formation of supragingival calculus and tartar, improving dental and gum health.
SALMON OIL AND FLAXSEED are natural sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, a group of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Among omega-3 fatty acids, the most important are alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while among omega-6 fatty acids, the most important are linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid. Except for arachidonic acid, all of these are essential fatty acids for dogs, meaning that they cannot be synthesized in their bodies and must be obtained through the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for brain and retina function, while omega-6 fatty acids are essential for growth, reproduction, and as precursors to the synthesis of prostaglandins (cellular mediators necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous, cardiovascular, reproductive, and digestive systems). Both contribute to the fluidity of cell membranes and the health of the skin and coat, which act as barriers against environmental pathogens. The benefits of ingesting omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, considering that many of them are essential, are well known and include their effect on skin health, osteoarthritis, liver problems, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and even some types of cancer. Despite their benefits, it should also be noted that excess is as dangerous as deficiency, so extra supplementation is not recommended without veterinary prescription. Ideally, one should look for a formulated food that contains the necessary amounts to ensure adequate intake of omega-3 and omega-6.
PLANTS AND EXTRACTS, AS WELL AS SOME FRUITS AND VEGETABLES are natural sources of polyphenols (bioflavonoids) and carotenoids. Above all, the citrus extract, apple pulp, red fruits (blueberries and pomegranate), some vegetables (spinach, pumpkin and tomato), and plant extracts (thyme, rosemary and calendula) stand out. Polyphenols and carotenoids are a very broad group of substances produced naturally by plants, with a protective function against UV light and oxidation due to the formation of free radicals, against herbivorous animals (some, such as tannins, give a bitter taste) or as a lure to attract pollinating animals or dispersers of seeds and fruits (they give specific colors and aromas to attract said animals). Animals aren't capable of producing these substances, so they must obtain them from the diet by eating the plants that produce them. In animals that eat these plants, they have antioxidant action, are precursors of vitamins and have a protective effect against coronary, cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative diseases and some types of cancer.
Some of the best known bioflavonoids are quercetin, silymarin, anthocyanidins and tannins; and within the carotenoids, the -carotene, precursor of vitamin A.
GLUCOSAMINE, CHONDROITIN SULFATE AND GREEN-LIPPED MUSSEL have been shown to be helpful in joint problems, especially osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is an amino sugar that acts as a precursor in the formation of glycosaminoglycans and is found in large quantities in the shell of crustaceans, from where it is extracted. Chondroitin sulfate is the major glycosaminoglycan in the composition of connective tissues (cartilage, ligaments and tendons) providing elasticity and resistance to compression. For its part, the green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is a mussel native to the New Zealand coast and a staple in the diet of the Maori culture, with anti-inflammatory action due to its content of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
CHICORY ROOT, BREWER'S YEAST AND ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM act at the intestinal level, favoring the establishment of an adequate intestinal microbiota. Chicory is a plant native to the Mediterranean area whose roots are rich in inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a unicellular fungus that has traditionally been used in the manufacture of beer and bread by its ability to ferment sugars . At ERA we use dry yeast, with no capacity for sugar fermentation, because its cell wall is very rich in mannanoligosaccharides (MOS). Both inulin and FOS and MOS are prebiotics, indigestible foods that benefit gut health by selectively stimulating the growth of "friendly" gut bacteria. These bacteria are part of the healthy microbiota of the intestine, occupy the intestinal niche, preventing pathogenic bacteria from settling in, and produce vitamins and short-chain volatile fatty acids that can be absorbed in the large intestine.
ON THE OTHER HAND, ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM, SPECIFICALLY THE DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415 STRAIN, IS ONE OF THOSE "FRIENDLY" BACTERIA THAT ACTS AS A PROBIOTIC, THAT IS, IT IS A LIVE MICROORGANISM THAT REMAINS ACTIVE IN THE INTESTINE AND IS ABLE TO COLONIZE IT, THEREBY DISPLACING PATHOGENIC BACTERIA THAT COULD CAUSE INTESTINAL INFECTION (SUCH AS SALMONELLA, CLOSTRIDIUM, OR ESCHERICHIA COLI). BOTH (PRE AND PROBIOTICS) ACT TOGETHER, ENHANCING THEIR EFFECTS (SYMBIOTIC).
ERA IS ENRICHED WITH VITAMINS AND MINERALS, ENSURING OPTIMAL DAILY INTAKE OF THESE MICRONUTRIENTS. AMONG THEM WE FIND:
VITAMIN A
Essential fat-soluble vitamin for the development of vision, growth, and differentiation of epithelial tissue in the respiratory and digestive systems.
VITAMIN E
It's a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant and is essential for reproduction and the health of the nervous system.
GROUP B VITAMINS
They are water-soluble vitamins related to cell metabolism, in which they have essential roles in energy metabolism, DNA repair and enzymatic activity. Some of them also play an important role in the development of the nervous system or the proper functioning of the blood and the immune system.
ZYNC
An essential mineral in metabolism, it contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system, the nervous system and the healing of wounds.
SELENIUM
It is a micronutrient that acts as an antioxidant, helps neutralize free radicals, stimulates the immune system, and is involved in the functioning of the thyroid gland.
