VETEXPERT VetoMune 60 caps - preparation in capsules supporting the immunity of dogs and cats
The formulation of the VetoMune supplementary food for dogs and cats is based on many publications and research results. Its safe and effective action makes it worth adding the beneficial capsules to your pet's meals on a regular basis. The valuable composition supports the immune system, which is why its supplementation is especially important in the case of elderly and sick pets. The preparation also supports female dogs in awakening natural immunity, which they pass on to puppies with food. One of the substances responsible for strengthening your pets' defenses is ?-1,3 / 1,6-glucan. It has been proven that this compound can enhance the effectiveness of vaccination against parvovirus and rabies. HMB acid increases the number of cells that produce antibodies, therefore, pets receiving the VETEXPERT preparation gain additional protection against infections. Your dog and cat are in excellent condition, and in the event of illness, treatment is much more efficient than before.
Indications
To support the non-specific stimulation of humoral and cellular immunity in dogs and cats. The preparation can be used in growing and older dogs, at risk of infection or suffering from viral or bacterial diseases, and in pregnant bitches to stimulate immunity passed on to offspring.
Composition
Saccharomyces cerevisiae R6446 (YSC 1111), max 100 cfu / g
Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action of the Vetomune complementary feed is based on the effects of the individual components of this preparation described in the scientific literature:
- ?-1,3 / 1,6-glucan is one of the best known immunostimulating substances. As such, it has the ability to directly stimulate antimicrobial defense mechanisms and may have an effect that supports the effectiveness of vaccinations. Its use increases the levels of specific IgG and IgA antibodies in the serum and in the secretions of mucous membranes when administered orally. The mechanism of action of beta-glucan is based on binding to specific receptors on macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and NK lymphocytes (Stuyven et al., 2010). -Beta-glucans activate complement, stimulate the production of pro and anti-inflammatory interleukins (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12) and TNF-?, which in consequence increases the immune system's readiness to defend the organism against viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections (Pelizon et al., 2005; Wójcik et al., 2007; Chen and Seviour, 2007). Beta-glucans as biostimulants create opportunities for their practical use in non-specific immunoprophylaxis in animals. They can be used to mobilize the immune system both in sick animals and in animals in which, due to immunological deficiencies, it is necessary to use preparations that correct the impaired function of the immune system. The use of beta-glucans with prophylactic vaccination of dogs seems to be of particular interest, as they have been shown to significantly increase the level of antibodies against canine parvovirus and rabies virus,
- 3-Hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid (HMB) is a natural metabolite of the amino acid leucine and is synthesized in the body of humans and animals. HMB plays an important role in the body's physiology, stimulating the immune system and protecting against infections. It stimulates the metabolic activity of phagocytes, enhances the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. In animal studies, HMB has been shown to improve the metabolic activity and phagocytosis of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, and the cellular response to bacterial antigens by increasing the number of antibody-producing cells. It improves feed conversion during animal growth and increases muscle protein content (Nissen et al., 1994; Koevering Van et al., 1994; Ostaszewski et al., 1998; Krakowski et al., 2002).
In conclusion, the Vetomune supplementary food contains active substances with a scientifically documented mechanism of action, the use of which may have an immunostimulatory effect in dogs. This opinion was prepared at the request of VetPlanet on the basis of the peer-reviewed scientific literature available in the PubMed and Science Direct scientific databases.
