WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
Reprinted with permission of Life Extension.
"Animals have unique physiological structures, and therefore need specific food and nutrients to keep them in optimal health. No longer considered just animals, household pets require special attention. Filling the need, the pet food industry has grown tremendously over the years.
Thought to be derived from several wild species of mammals, dogs are domesticated carnivorous animals that now enjoy pride of place in American homes. Mans best friend is a perfect companion who can live a long active life if properly cared for. Just like human beings, dogs need carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water in a balanced diet to stay healthy. Unfortunately, most dog foods are not necessarily the best choice. In fact, there have been claims that some pet foods contain meat that is unfit for animal consumption.
Dogs can tolerate plant-based food, but because they are essentially meat eaters, dogs need a good amount of meat protein in their diets for their unique systems. Like people, dogs (and cats) suffer from the same conditions related to aging, and thus may benefit from certain nutrients
Carnitine is an essential nutrient. An amino acid found in meat, it is especially important for the heart and vascular system.1 Vitamin E has also been shown to be important for your dogs health.2,3
So how can you be assured that you are giving your pet the best nutrition? Besides high quality commercial foods that are nutrient-enriched, food supplements are the best option to make sure your pets are getting all the vitamins and minerals they need to live long healthy lives.
Life Extension Dog Mix is among the best products for protecting your animals health. Just two scoops per day provide the vitamin insurance your pet needs to stay healthy and strong. Life Extension Dog Mix contains significant amounts of high grade nutrients usu-ally reserved for the most expensive human supplements. It contains flavonoids, amino acids, antioxidants, probiotics, essential fatty acids, methylation enhancers, and more.
In fact, many commercial pet foods do not contain the vitamins, amino acids, phytonutrients, and advanced antioxidants found in Life Extension Dog Mix. Life Extension pet supplements contain the same premium grade nutrients used in the products consumed by Life Extension Foundation members."
