Intact Nutrition Presents Pet Health Products with Prebiotics & Probiotics

---

Intact Nutrition, a developer and supplier of alternative and complementary herbal health support products, is pleased to present its line of pet health supplements Canine Intact, Equine Intact, and Feline Intact. Utilizing the expertise of doctors, researchers, and clinicians in formulating each product, Intact Nutrition focuses on synergistic botanical preparations that leverage the unique beneficial effects of the various natural ingredients in each Nutri-Mastic™, ionic trace mineral complex and herbal formulation they provide.

All Intact Nutrition products contain Nutri-Mastic™, a perfectly balanced supplement with the prebiotic Inulin, verified ionic minerals and Mastic Gum. Probiotic microorganisms can be found as naturally occurring components of foods and beverages, as well as in supplement form. For thousands of years these bacteria and yeasts have been used to ferment foods. Specific strains of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli are helpful good bacteria found in many yogurts and cultured dairy products.

For a food ingredient to be classified as a prebiotic, it must be demonstrated that it is fermented by the gastrointestinal microflora, is not broken down in the stomach or absorbed into the GI tract, and it must selectively stimulate growth and activity of probiotics. Inulin, a prebiotic in all Intact Nutrition products, is a plant fiber that is not digestible in the intestine. It is a selective food supply for probiotics, giving them a rapid jump on colonizing and growing in the colon.

Although pet food companies are beginning to incorporate prebiotics and probiotics into their recipes, the naturally occurring enzymes of Prebiotics and Probiotics required for complete digestion often get lost during the cooking and processing of pet food. Even the best brands of commercially prepared foods lack critical trace minerals. In order to keep animals show-ready with shiny coats, healthy skin, and bright eyes, breeders use a regular regimen of Canine Intact for dogs or Equine Intact for horses.
