PAW Denosyl Medium Dogs 225mg - 30 Tablets - Liver Support for Dogs And Cats
PAW Denosyl Medium Dogs 225mg is formulated with S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which supports liver detoxification in dogs and cats. SAMe plays a critical role in enhancing liver function and protecting liver cells from damage caused by toxins.
Key Benefits Of Denosyl
Denosyl contains S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which helps increase glutathione levels. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that safeguards liver cells from harmful substances and cell death. It enhances liver function and supports tissue repair and regeneration in cases of oxidative damage caused by toxins or medications. Additionally, Denosyl has been shown to benefit other areas of oxidative stress in tissues and can protect against the negative effects of certain medications on the liver. Its high safety profile makes it suitable for long-term use.
- Supports Liver Detoxification: Promotes detoxification processes in both dogs and cats.
- Helps Prevent Tissue Damage: Useful in treating oxidative injuries and reducing blood cell fragility caused by certain medications.
- Protects Against Medication-Induced Liver Damage: May prevent liver damage from specific drugs.
- Cognitive Support for Senior Dogs: Promotes healthy brain function in older dogs.
Understanding Liver Function
The liver is one of the body’s largest and most essential organs, produces hormones, enzymes, and proteins essential for your pet's health. It is also crucial for detoxifying the bloodstream and eliminating harmful substances. Glutathione, the liver's primary antioxidant, is essential for detoxification and protects liver cells from toxins.
Antioxidant Therapy
Glutathione is synthesized in the liver from S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a compound that originates from the amino acid methionine, which is obtained through your pet’s diet. When the liver is damaged, SAMe production decreases, leading to reduced glutathione levels, which compromises liver function. Studies show that pets with liver issues often have depleted glutathione levels, and supplementing with SAMe can help restore liver health.
Active Ingredient
The active ingredient is S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), delivered in an enteric-coated tablet to ensure proper absorption and effectiveness.
Recommended Uses
Denosyl is recommended as a supportive treatment for various liver diseases and dysfunctions, including:
- Chronic hepatitis
- Hepatic lipidosis
- Cholangiohepatitis
- Paracetamol toxicity
- Corticosteroid use (though it does not prevent corticosteroid-induced liver changes)
- Other acute or chronic liver conditions, including those caused by toxins or neoplasia
Dosage And Administration
For best results, administer Denosyl on an empty stomach at least one hour before feeding. For pets who have difficulty swallowing tablets, the tablet can be hidden in a small portion of moist food. In cats, ensure that the tablet is followed by a small amount of water to aid swallowing, as tablets can occasionally stick in the throat.
Denosyl tablets must not be split, as the enteric coating protects the active ingredient during digestion. Dosage adjustments, whether increasing or decreasing, should be done in full tablet increments based on your pet's needs. Many pets are maintained on an every-other-day or every-third-day dosing schedule.
