A supplement for cats and dogs with skin disorders that manifest with a dry and mat coat, hair loss, and flaking skin. A balanced level of Omega acids contains all the necessary composition to enhance skin function.
OMEGA-6 FATTY ACIDS, such as linoleic acid (LA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), support the water barrier of the skin. They serve as the building blocks of ceramides that form a special lining in extracellular space to prevent the leakage of water between epidermal cells. This helps prevent dry skin, ensuring an adequate level of moisture and elasticity. The best sources of omega-6 fatty acids are borage oil and evening primrose oil.
THIAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), RIBOFLAVIN (WITAMIN B2), PURIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), and CYANOCOBALAMIN (VITAMIN B12), which together form the class of water-soluble B vitamins play a key role in the metabolism of essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. They also support the function of the skin barrier.
ZINC is the key microelement involved in wound repair and skin cell proliferation and division, which plays an important role in the treatment of skin lesions. Its deficiency is linked to serious skin disorders, i.e. dermatoses.
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have anti-inflammatory and anti- edemic properties and ensure the fluidity and elasticity of cell membranes. Introduced into the diet, omega-3 fatty acids allow to reduce the doses of anti-inflammatory medication, including the steroids commonly used in anti-itch treatment. The best source of omega-3 acids is fish oil and linseed oil.
BIOTIN AS A VITAMIN B, which when delivered orally reaches the sebaceous glands and is then excreted onto the surface of the skin. Its presence partially lowers the secretion of sebum and reduces oily skin, which is particularly beneficial in dogs with seborrhea.
