Strengthen the immune system of dogs & cats with colostrum
The immune system of dogs and cats, but also of humans, is made up of a large number of different components that work in harmony to ensure that a pathogen which has entered the body cannot multiply unhindered and trigger dangerous infections. However, if just one of these important defence components in the body shows reduced performance, the risk of infectious diseases can rise.
Immune function requires essential nutrients
For ideal functionality, the defences depend on the regular supply of very specific vitamins and minerals that the body cannot always synthesise on its own. These essential nutrients must therefore be taken in through food. Should an undersupply occur, immune function in the body can be reduced, which can naturally give rise to an increased risk of diet-related diseases. The result of such an undersupply of these nutrients usually shows itself in an increased susceptibility to illness.
How can immune function be supported nutritionally?
To support immune function, it is advisable first and foremost to ensure an optimal supply to the body of the vitamins and trace elements important for the defences. In this way, the natural function of the immune system can be supported to an ideal extent. The essential vitamins and minerals can be supplied to the body in an ideal dosage with the help of a corresponding nutrient complex. In addition, natural colostrum has proven very effective for the nutritional support of immune function.
Colostrum contains important vital substances
Colostrum is the name given to a very special type of milk that serves a newborn mammal as its very first food. A newborn's immune system generally needs a few weeks before it can develop its functionality. The first milk is therefore a vital necessity for all newly born infants. On the one hand, colostrum contains all the important nutrients that immune function needs for ideal functionality. In addition, the first milk is enriched in the mother's mammary glands with important antibodies that support the defences in the first phase of life.
The first milk as valuable nutritional support
Not only newly born mammals but also adult dogs and cats can benefit from the high nutrient content and the important antibodies in colostrum. With the help of the vital substances it contains, the normal function of the immune defences can be supported. Should the defences become weakened due to an undersupply of nutrients, colostrum can serve as effective support for the body's own defences!
