How Pet Antioxidants Contribute to the Overall Health of your Pet 

Antioxidants support the immune system by increasing the number of antibodies which circulate in the blood stream.  More antibodies mean increased resistance to harmful viruses, bacteria and parasites. Each antioxidant has its own unique function, but they all contribute in improving the immune function, creating the best defense against infections and diseases.  

Protect against Free Radical Damage

An antioxidant’s job is to inhibit the effects of oxidation. Oxidants, which include free radicals, are toxic by-products of human cells as they produce energy to perform specific metabolic functions.

Oxidants are neutralized or detoxified by naturally occurring antioxidant enzymes. The daily rigors of life, pollution, poor eating habits, and even the aging process, all contribute to oxidation, thereby creating excessive amounts of damaging free radicals.

Free radical damage is caused when free radicals react with DNA, lipids and proteins. Free radicals can damage the structure and function of cells and cell membranes, which may result in inactivation of enzymes and other proteins, and the destruction of tissues and organs. Free radicals are the cause of most life-threatening diseases.

Antioxidants Slow Down the Aging Process

Several theories have been proposed to explain changes in cell functioning and physiological capability.  The strongest and best established scientific theory is that free radicals account for many age-related changes. Antioxidants react with free radicals and render them harmless.  Their use is the surest way to slow down the aging process.  

Antioxidants work best in mixtures made up of smaller amounts of a variety of groups, rather than a high concentration of single antioxidant. Ester-C as antioxidant it important, but powerful anti-oxidants need to include additional antioxidant groups.

No single antioxidant protects against all conditions. Antioxidants work together as team players, working better when taken in combination than individually. The formula KALA Health put together contains eight groups of natural antioxidants that in combination protect against free radical cell damage in organs and organ linings. The components of the Kala Health FORTRIX antioxidant system combine in a synergistic manner, giving maximum protection against free radical damage. Antioxidants are a great supplement and benefit, but should be used as an adjunct to and not as a replacement for conventional medicine.

It is important to add antioxidants to your pet’s diet.  You will want to add Kala Health FORTRIX Antioxidant to your dog or cat’s diet.

IMPORTANT!  The recommendations in this article are general suggestions for treating your pet naturally.  It is important to look at each pet individually and determine what works best for YOUR pet. 

I would highly consider a consultation.  A consultation will include a personalized diet and holistic program suggestions, all custom-tailored to your pet’s personal needs. This is particularly imperative in pets with complicated health issues, or if you’ve done outside reading and have conflicting information.
