Wysong C-Biotic Canine Enzyme & Probiotic Supplement - 9.5oz

Wysong C-Biotic Canine Enzyme & Probiotic Supplement

Please Note: AddLife is Wysong's new nutritional supplement that will replace C-Biotic and F-Biotic. AddLife contains the same ingredients to enhance and augment the nutritional value of foods as C- and F-Biotic but it has the added benefit of whole, raw meat and the antioxidant properties of blueberries. We do not have any C-Biotic in stock. Click here to go to Wysong's AddLife.

Wysong's C-Biotic is designed to enhance and augment the nutritional value of processed commercial dog foods. Wysong C-Biotic helps enhance your pets health by promoting the proper balance of good intestinal flora and by supporting the digestive systems that aid in the assimilation and utilization of vitamins and nutrients.

Enzymes are delicate compounds participating catalytically in nearly every chemical reaction that occurs in the body. Digestion and all metabolic pathways rely on enzymes. They are the biochemical novelty that converts mere chemicals into the dynamic essence of life itself. Enzymes are found in all living cells, both vegetable and animal, and therefore are found in food. However, enzymes are inactivated above body temperature and are destroyed by the heat of food processing. In other words, any food that is canned, pasteurized, baked, broiled, stewed, boiled, or fried has lost its inherent enzymes.

The significance of dietary enzymes has, by and large, escaped the scientific community. It is commonly believed that enzymes, being protein molecules, are broken down by digestion and are therefore of no more importance than any other protein in food. However, various significant pieces of evidence point to the understanding that enzymes within food can survive the digestive tract intact, and exert beneficial effects. Enzymes released from ingested raw foods combine with food and water to aid in the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This is the natural order of things: raw food is eaten, its inherent enzymes begin self digesting, and the remaining work is performed by enzymes secreted by the digestive organs stomach, intestines, pancreas, and liver. However, when food enzymes are destroyed, the entire digestive workload is shifted to these organs. Its like having a friend who helps you move refrigerators. The two of you do it just fine. But when he no longer helps, something has to give, something will likely break... and it wont be the refrigerator.

All life exists in complex and essential relationships with other organisms and the environment. Recognizing and respecting these relationships is a key to health and well-being since it helps restore natural genetic context. All warm-blooded animals are profoundly dependent on the microbial world. While some microorganisms are villains, others, termed probiotics, can and do play a very beneficial role in maintaining health. Intestinal probiotics, particularly bacteria, play an important role in determining the digestive mechanisms and general health of all animals, humans included. Disease may be related more to an organisms inability to resist illness than to the actual presence of a microbe. Even tragic scourges have been shown to be ameliorated not because of antimicrobials, but rather as a result of the restoration of balances through hygiene and dietary improvements. The role of these symbiotic microorganisms in ruminants is well known and extensively studied, but their role in monogastrics (humans, dogs, cats, etc.) is less understood. Proper balance of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract is critical.

Probiotic Nutritional and Health Enhancement Occurs Through:

1. The synthesis of certain amino acids, which are directly assimilated (e.g. lysine from specific strains of L. plantarum).
2. Increasing leukocyte and antibody response to disease challenge.
3. A protein-sparing effect. The Lactobacilli primarily use carbohydrates as a growth medium, while the pathogens use primarily protein. By decreasing the pathogenic population, more protein is made available for assimilation.
4. Decreasing intestinal pH increases gastrointestinal tone and motility.
5. Reducing the number of putrefactive bacteria, which prevents bad breath, gas and bloating.
6. Alleviating antibiotic-induced diarrhea, caused by the indiscriminate killing off of both "good" and "bad" bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus can be taken both during and after antibiotic treatment.
7. Producing B vitamins, such as folic acid, niacin, riboflavin, B12, B6, and pantothenic acid, which are biocatalysts in food metabolism and help fight stress.
8. Lactobacillus species possess anticholesterolemic and antilipidemic factors, which aid in cholesterol reduction.
9. Inhibition of Candida albicans, which is the primary yeast responsible for Candidiasis.
10. Studies at the Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and the University of Nebraska show Lactobacillus to possess a definite anti-tumor activity, and to inhibit tumor proliferation.

Directions for Use: For adult dogs, give 1 tsp per 15 lbs of body weight. Divide among the daily feedings. C-Biotic can be mixed in each feeding or used as a top dressing.
