Whitefish
Some researchers believe that high levels of synthetic copper supplements in some pet foods can promote liver disease in dogs, as dogs tend to store excess copper in their liver. Whitefish has innately low levels of copper. It is also a good source of protein and rich essential fatty acids.
Turmeric
Turmeric provides natural immune support.
Cod Liver Oil
Cod liver oil is a whole-food source of vitamin D and natural alternative to synthetic vitamin D.
Artichoke Leaf Powder
Artichoke is a powerful prebiotic that’s extremely beneficial.
Dandelion Root Powder
Dandelion is a blood purifier and prebiotic.
Basil
Vitamin K plays a key role in blood clotting and basil is an excellent source of natural vitamin K. It is also an antioxidant and contains magnesium.
Licorice Root Powder
It helps protect liver cells and minimize liver damage.
Green Tea
Green tea is a whole food that contains an extremely powerful antioxidant called epigallocatechin-3-gallate, or EGCG. This substance scavenges free radicals and greatly increases the antioxidant load.
Zinc Proteinate
Zinc is a healing mineral. This natural and non-toxic form of bioavailable zinc supports liver normal function.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E supports liver cell membranes.
L-Arginine and L-Carnitine
These vital amino acids assist in maintaining normal liver function.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), and Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Because B vitamins are excreted in urine this formula contains high levels to replace the vitamin systemically.
