Summary
Oxygen is an essential element for life, but it can create damaging byproducts during normal cellular metabolism. Antioxidants counteract these cellular byproducts, called free radicals, and bind with them before they can cause damage. If left unchecked, free radicals may cause heart damage and a weak immune system among other things.
Pet Naturals® of Vermont's Antiox for Dogs and Antiox for Cats supports the immune system, circulatory functions, and skin and coat health. The active ingredient is grape seed extract, standardized to yield 95 percent proanthocyanidins per capsule.
Proanthocyanidins are a highly specialized group of bioflavonoids that have been studied extensively since the late 1960s for their powerful vascular wall strengthening properties and free radical scavenging activity. They are one of the most potent free radical scavengers known, possessing an antioxidant effect. In some comparative tests, proanthocyanidins were found to be 50 times more potent than vitamin E and 20 times more powerful than vitamin C.
Proanthocyanidins help prevent the release of histamine from mast cells thereby reducing the discomfort associated with respiratory dysfunction and skin irritation. They also support capillary strength. Weak capillaries can contribute to bruising, elastin and collagen dysfunction, edema and circulatory insufficiencies. Antiox is available in three different milligram levels, administered depending on the animal's weight.
Pet Naturals® of Vermont, The Perfect Balance Between Science and Nature™, offers consumers high quality, high potency supplements that include joint support for active and senior pets; gastrointestinal relief; digestive, bladder and urinary tract health; skin and coat support; a calmative; and a weight loss carb blocker. Pet Naturals comes from the makers of Glyco-Flex®, one of the top animal supplements offered in the veterinary market since 1981.
