Indications:

• compensation of the immunity gap (= the body’s own immunity is not yet completely developed) in puppies after weaning and in young dogs
• immune suppression in older dogs
• high stress due to living conditions or work levels
• lack of vitality and immune resistance after illness (convalescence/recovery)
• sensitive dogs or dogs kept exclusively indoors with inadequate “natural training” of the immune system

BELCANDO® VITAL-Tabs

VITAL-Tabs add to the dog’s diet specifically with nutrients known for their stimulating effect on the general canine immune system:

Brewers' yeast (content: 28%) is a natural complex of various vital substances that have a positive influence on the immune system.

• Natural enzymes (--> vitality in puppies/young dogs)
• vitamin B complex
• choline (--> liver protection)
• folic acid (--> formation of white blood cells/antibodies)
• Glutathione (--> antibody formation)

Special cell wall components of Brewers' yeast (ß-1.3/1.6 glucans) have a proven positive effect on the immune system overall. These natural carbohydrate compounds, found only in yeasts and fungi, are ingested by dogs in the wild via contact with the soil. Their positive, direct effect on the activity and efficacy of the white blood cells in the defence against infectious pathogens has been proven in extensive studies on various types of animals as well as humans over a period of more than 10 years.

The reason for the stimulating effect of the glucans on the body’s own defence system is the fact that the white blood cells (macrophages) are equipped with receptors able to detect and bind ß-1.3- und ß-1.6 glucans. The contact with the glucans stimulates them to form various cytokines (mediators). These then support the defence reaction of the entire body. This effect of the glucans is enhanced when combined with vitamin C.

Vitamin C: Supplement: 10,000 mg/kg: The dog’s body does not produce enough vitamin C in stressful situations or when the dog has an especially heavy workload. It is essential for maintaining leukocyte function and for limiting the effects of stress on the body.

High-quality animal proteins support protein metabolism, which needs to function well to support the immune defence system.
