Grape Seed Extract Antioxidant
allergy supplement

- Antiox-50 -

Dog allergy supplement containing powerful antioxidants to help fight respiratory problems, allergies, inflammation, and some types of skin problems, as well as ear infections and chronic herpes in the eyes of cats. Supports immune system and circulatory functions.

  Our Antiox-50 is standardized to yield 47.5 mg (95%) proanthocyanidins (PCOs) per 50 mg capsule. PCOs are unique because they are bioavailable; they are easily absorbed and quickly distributed throughout the body. They go to work wherever they are needed right away! PCOs also actively permeate the blood-brain barrier, meaning that they can safely enter the brain to reduce or prevent free radical damage to brain tissue.

PCOs are a special class of water soluble bioflavonoids that are potent antioxidants. In some comparative tests, PCOs were found to be 50 times more potent than Vitamin E and 20 times more potent than Vitamin C. Antioxidants help reduce damage to the body by harmful “free radicals.” By destroying free radicals, antioxidants such as the PCOs found in Grape seed Extract help to detoxify and protect a dog or cat from cellular damage and immune system dysfunction.

The PCO's in Antiox-50 prevent the release of histamine from mast cells thereby reducing the adverse effects of histamine. Unlike pharmaceutical antihistamines that only block allergic attack symptoms after histamines have been released, the PCOs in Antiox-50 can inhibit key enzymes that affect histamine release. By regulating histamine release, Antiox-50 can reduce the physiological responses without side effects.

PCOs inhibit the activity of certain pro-inflammatory enzymes. They also inhibit enzyme activity that destroys collagen and elastin which are the principal components of connective tissue, skin, bone, cartilage, and ligaments. PCOs support capillary strength. Weak capillaries can contribute to bruising, elastin and collagen dysfunction, edema and circulatory insufficiencies.

Veterinarians use grape seed extract to combat asthma, bronchitis, and respiratory allergies, to improve pets’ circulatory systems, and to nourish skin by helping it to stay elastic, thus counteracting skin ailments such as eczema.

Antiox-50 supports the immune system, circulatory functions and skin health. It is recommended for dogs or cats with recurrent or persistent skin or respirtatory concerns (due to its ability to regulate histamine). Also, for animals that need joint, immune, dirculatory, and vascular support.
