Bacopa Monnieri

Bacopa has the ability to activate the Nrf2 response, making it a protector of cell DNA, mitochondria, and other important cellular structures from excessive free radical attack.

Bacopa is a tropical plant that is generally known for its cognitive and memory improving capabilities. Bacopa contains bacosides and saponins that have a beneficial effect on the brain’s neurotransmitters and also assists in the repair of neurons that have become damaged. The bacosides possess antioxidant activity that helps protect the brain from free radical damage.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is also called Indian Ginseng. It has been used in Ayurvedic medical cultures for centuries helping to improve and revitalize human and animal health associated with a variety of medical conditions. Ashwagandha improves health in many ways including its ability to activate the Nrf2 response, and can lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, regulate glucose levels, boos cardiac health, and improve vision.

Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle alone has been touted for years as a powerful hepatic detoxicant used to treat liver disease. By itself, is does not contain strong antioxidant properties, however, in combination with Bacopa, Ashwagandha, and Turmeric, it is considered a powerful activator of the Nrf2 animal response.

Turmeric

Curcuminoids are the polyphenolic yellow-orange pigments that are contained in turmeric. Curcumin has been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-carcinogenic and hypocholesterolemic activities. Turmeric’s antioxidant activities include the ability to scavenge the reactive oxygen species (superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide) thereby inhibiting lipid peroxidation and the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Turmeric has been shown to be a powerful activator of the Nrf2 pathway in animals.

Kittens

Being introduced into a new home after going through weaning can virtually stress a kitten to the max. A full complement of protective antioxidants would be useful about this time, however, a kitten’s antioxidant system develops slowly and doesn’t reach full strength until the kitten becomes an adult. The additional antioxidant protection created by the special nutrients found in Feline Health Defense is made possible by the activation of cellular survival genes through a transcription factor Nrf2, which can send millions of new antioxidants to the rescue when needed

Adult Cats

When cats reach about 1 year of age, their natural production of antioxidants reaches its peak and stays at about those levels until they reach their senior years. After that, levels begin to drop off rapidly and, unfortunately, there are many periods throughout adult life where that steady level of antioxidants can be overwhelmed by the number of free radicals present. The additional antioxidants created by the proprietary ingredients in Feline Health Defense will reduce these harmful particles that are capable of damaging cellular DNA and mitochondria the primary cause of increased ageing and the premature onset of many age-related diseases.

Senior Cats

Senior life brings on the decline in natural antioxidant production while oxidative stress – the number of free radical attacks a cat undergoes – generally increases. This phenomenon contributes to the rapid aging and organ decline seen during senior years. . Protection is just a scoop away with Feline Health Defense, an Nrf2 triggering natural survival system that helps a cat produce millions of extra antioxidants daily.
