AMAFERM in Dogs and Cats

In dogs and cats, Amaferm has a 4-pronged approach in the way it promotes longevity and vitality.

1. Amaferm helps to increase digestion by stimulating microbial enzyme production in the small intestine. These enzymes break down the food so it can be used by the body. More enzyme production means there’s a better chance they’ll be getting everything out of the food they consume.

2. Amaferm increases Short Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) production. The SCFA are used by the intestinal villi as an energy source for their maintenance, replacement and growth. It’s the surface of the villi that line the gut where nutrients are absorbed from what is passing through. Longer, healthier villi means more surface area to help maximize nutrient absorption.

3. Not only do larger villi absorb more nutrients, IgA’s are produced here – that stands for Secretory immunoglobulin A. IgA’s fight off pathogenic bacteria which means your dog or cat has a better chance at staying healthy.

4. In numbers 1 & 2 we explained how Amaferm helps to increase nutrient digestion and absorption. This is very important in the health and well being of your pet when you understand how nutrients are utilized by the body. A hierarchy of nutrient partitioning regulates how the system will utilize available nutrients. They are partitioned to maintenance, growth and development first, and when the demands of those systems are met, additional nutrients are partitioned to the immune system, lactation, reproduction and weight. Many factors influence how much energy a system needs. Increasing nutrient availability helps ensure that all systems are functioning at optimal levels!
