BLADDER MATTERS* BLADDER INTEGRITY SUPPORT FOR URINARY INCONTINENCE* (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)
BLADDER MATTERS may also help reduce excessive bladder sensation which leads to decreased urinary frequency and potentially a reduction in related overactive bladder skin ulcerations and scalded skin caused by urinary leakage.
Type I: The most common form of collagen, found in the GI tract; may help build bones, help heal wounds and may help maintain skin elasticity.
Type II: Related to helping build cartilage found in connective tissues, especially important in cases of age related joint pain and joint decline caused by arthritis.
Type III: Related to the tiny fibers that comprise organs, skin, blood vessels and heart tissues; may help provide tensile elasticity to skin and tissues. A deficiency of Type II collages has been attributed with cardiovascular conditions.
Type V: Comprises the many tiny fibers of collagen itself, found in hair follicles, cell surfaces and placenta tissues.
Type X: Collagen involved in direct formation of bones and articular cartilage and may be important in helping repair synovial joints and damage to bones, including breaks and strains.
BLADDER MATTERS antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant actions may help reduce inflammation, may help stimulate connective tissues of the bladder, including myelin sheath that protects eye health and Central Nervous System pathways and may help promote protein collagen production throughout the body, including bone, teeth and gums.
Normally our dogs and cats would obtain these types of critical tissues from prey they eat in the wild. With most pets eating some form of a commercial or home-cooked diet, BLADDER MATTERS may help supply vital sources of connective tissue and premium nutrition missing in our pet's modern diets that simply cannot be replicated in synthesized foods.
The three naturally occurring carotenoids (lutein, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin) may be used holistically as disease fighting antioxidants, but are viewed as especially important for their role in potentially helping to protect eye health for dogs and cats. Lutein helps to support blue light absorption by the eyes and helps to fight against free radicals and cellular oxidative damage; astaxanthin helps to provide nutritional support for eye health which are commonly lacking in modern diets; zeaxanthin is an antioxidant carotenoid found in your pet's retina, which helps supports critical eye tissues, including the lens and macula. It is used by holistic veterinarians in traditional medical systems to help address cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration in dogs and cats. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians.)
Did you know that vitamin C is your pet's primary water-soluble antioxidant, which may make it an important weapon in your dog's and cat's immune systemEUR(TM)s arsenal against bacteria and viruses? While dogs and cats can produce vitamin C, BLADDER MATTERScontains a form that may be active against infection, allergies and irregular cellular activity.
While it is generally understood that dogs and cats both create and derive Vitamin C from organ meat they obtain through hunting prey, most domesticated dogs and cats eating a dry kibble diet may not derive proper levels of vitamin c through synthesized minerals added to their diet. Cats must obtain Vitamin A from prey or diet, and it must be a bio-available form, which BLADDER MATTERS may help supply.
