WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
Reprinted with permission of Life Extension.
"Cats require special attention when it comes to their nutrition and care. Cats are carnivorous, meaning that they need animal protein to survive. Amino acids that make up proteins, such as taurine and arginine, are vital to a cat's health.4-7 Taurine is a must for the feline heart, kidneys, and eyes.8-11 Arginine detoxifies ammonia in cats' kidneys, is important for heart and pancreatic function, and helps keep the gut healthy.12-15 Arachidonic acid, an essential fatty acid, is another must for cats because it is used by every cell in the body.16
Just like humans, cats need B vitamins to support their cardiovascular system,17 but are limited in their ability to synthesize the B vitamin niacin from tryptophan. Additionally, cats cannot synthesize vitamin A from beta-carotene. For these reasons and others, cats have a greater need for specific nutrients than many other mammals.18
So how can you be assured that you are giving your cat the best nutrition? Besides high quality foods that are nutrient-enriched, food supplements are the best option to make sure your cats are getting all the vitamins and minerals they need to live long healthy lives
Many commercial pet foods do not contain the vitamins, amino acids, phytonutrients, and advanced antioxidants found in Life Extension Cat Mix. Life Extension pet supplements use the same quality nutrients as those contained in the products consumed by Life Extension Foundation members."
