Immunocan

IMMUNOCAN is a carefully balanced combination of prebiotics and probiotics (a synbiotic), specially formulated to support the functioning of the immune system, of the gastrointestinal tract and the general health of your dog or cat.

1,3-1,6 beta-D-glucan is a unique, naturally-occurring polysaccharide, and is considered nature’s most powerful activator and stimulator of the immune system. It is derived from the cell walls of brewers’ yeast (100% Saccharomyces cerevisiae). 1,3-1,6 beta-D-glucan activates the key cells (macrophages) of the body’s immune system, binding to the receptors of the macrophages and allowing them to act more rapidly to recognise and destroy the harmful pathogenic micro-organisms that cause illness (bacteria, viruses, fungi etc.). It also positively impacts the numbers of these cells, promoting their proliferation and the production of a range of additional substances, which results in the rapid release of new immunocytes into the bloodstream and organs of the dog or cat.

Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) prebiotic promotes the growth and survival of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. MOS blocks and immobilises pathogenic bacteria (such as E. coli and Salmonella) and toxins by binding them to itself thus preventing them from proliferating and causing harm.

Inulin (FOS) prebiotic serves as food for beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Inulin (FOS) comprises fibres that are soluble in the gut when acted on by the enzymes produced by beneficial bacteria in that environment, stimulating the growth of these bacteria (Lactobacillus), whilst at the same time inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.

IMMUNOCAN contains two strains of beneficial probiotic bacteria, (Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis), increasing their population in the digestive tract, maintaining balance and normalising gut microflora.
