PlaqueOff-180gr

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 09:59:09 +0200

If your dog or cat suffers from bad breath this may indicate a problem with oral health. Plaque and tartar are major health issues in canines and felines, and especially in older animals. In dogs, the smaller breeds suffer most, but plaque and tartar are found in all breeds to a lesser or greater extent.

Dental plaque is a biofilm that develops naturally on teeth when these do not get enough use or enough cleaning. When the plaque calcifies, it turns into tartar. This appears primarily on the rim of the gums (the gumline) and on the back teeth. Tartar is very difficult to remove without the help of a veterinarian.
We recommend that you make it a habit to examine the teeth of your dog or cat once a week. The animal will become accustomed to you examining its mouth and you will be able to discover any dental deterioration at an early stage. Unlike humans, dogs and cats rarely get cavities, but are much more prone to excess tartar build-up and gum disease (gingivitis). Gingivitis can be seen as reddening of the gums adjacent to the teeth. It also causes bad breath.
If tartar is not removed from your pet’s teeth, it builds up under the gums and separates the gums from the teeth to form “pockets” which encourages even more bacterial growth. At this point the damage is irreversible and can be very painful. Unfortunately, dogs and cats are experts at masking discomfort and pain and many owners may not notice that their pet has a problem.
The best way of keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy is by removing plaque regularly and thoroughly with the use of a toothbrush. However, since many dogs and cats do not permit their teeth to be brushed, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal provides a complimentary solution which helps keep plaque and tartar under control.
ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal is ingested together with pet food and pets generally begin to see results over a 2-8 week period. How fast you will be able to notice a difference depends on how long the problem has been affecting your dog’s or cat’s oral health.

Product
ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal is a revolutionary pet dental product available from veterinary practices and selected pet shops. Used daily, this completely natural product made from seaweed can significantly help reduce dental plaque and tartar and improve breath in cats and dogs.
Dental care is unfortunately one of the most overlooked health issues that pet owners concern themselves with. As in humans, plaque bacteria constantly forms in the mouth of all cats and dogs. Once plaque has calcified into tartar it can no longer be brushed off. In many cases it has to be removed by a vet using ultrasound and anaesthetic.
If tartar build-up is left untreated it can result in bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay and premature tooth loss. Tartar that is allowed to remain for too long can also cause infections that can spread throughout the body and damage the heart, lung, liver and negatively affect kidney functions.
Since daily brushing of your cat or dog’s teeth can be difficult to achieve, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal provides an easy solution to improving your pet’s oral hygiene.
An internationally patented and clinically tested product, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal fights tartar and plaque on tooth surfaces and reduces bacterial presence. The active element in PlaqueOff® Animal is a specially selected seaweed, Ascophyllum nodosum, harvested from the clean and cold seas of Norway and Iceland. A 100% all natural product, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal is free from artificial colours and preservatives and contains no gluten or sugar.
Unlike most other plaque control products that are applied directly on the teeth, PlaqueOff® Animal works systematically and comes in powder that is sprinkled on your pet’s food. When the ingredients are absorbed into the blood via the digestion and enters the saliva, they effectively prevent accumulation of plaque by affecting the ability of plaque to ‘stick’ to surfaces in the mouth. Existing tartar becomes porous, looses by itself or can be easily removed by brushing or cleaning.
Improvements can usually be seen as early as after 3 to 8 weeks of use.

Packaging: 180 gram (also available in 40 gram)

Applications: plaque,tartar, gum disease (gingivitis), bad breath.

BloQ Dolor

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:39:28 +0200

BloQ Dolor contains Perluxan™ which is a proprietary, standardized supercritical extract of hops cones (Humulus lupulus L.) with multiple mechanisms of action based on alpha acids. These fractions were found to be potent and specific inhibitors of pro-inflammatory chemicals and derivatives, giving Perluxan the power to reduce pain-causing compounds in a short time with a low dose.

Scientific
Perluxan works in concert with numerous biochemical pathways responsible for inflammation with both enzymatic and non-enzymatic sources. Instead of taking weeks or months to begin working, Perluxan may activate to help relieve minor pain beginning with the first dose.
Perluxan is virtually devoid of the undesirable phytoestrogenic and sleep inducing compounds contained in normal hops extracts and powders.
Extensive in-vitro and in-vivo clinical research has been conducted over the last decade to establish the phytomedical credibility of Perluxan. Ongoing clinical studies aim to elucidate the multi-faceted effects of one of history's most well documented plants.
In a state-of-the-art screening assay with human gastrointestinal cells, drug models were used to determine the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory agents extracted from plants. Perluxan was found to reduce pro-inflammatory bio-markers most efficiently, with a lower dosage, amongst a field of 20 botanicals.
After selection from the screening assay, the activity of Perluxan in humans was tested at the William Harvey Research Institute, Royal London School of Medicine in the U.K., using the gold-standard William Harvey Human Modified Whole Blood Assay (WHMA).
In pilot human oral dosing studies, Perluxan was found efficacious in reducing pain-causing biochemicals. 1,000 mg of Perluxan was evaluated to have a similar effect as two (2) 200 mg ibuprofen tablets, with a good tolerability and safety profile for gastrointestinal side effects.

Anti-Inflammatory
Perluxan positively affects a constellation of pro-inflammatory markers of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic origin:

prostaglanin E₂
cyclooxygenase 1+2
interlukein-1
iisoprostanes
iiNOS and nNOS
TTNF-alpha
NNF-kappa-B

Antioxidant
The alpha acids in Perluxan are potent antioxidants and are effective at both scavenging free radicals and inhibiting the chemical processes that cause oxidation. Extensive laboratory tests have shown that Perluxan consistently exhibits low IC50 values for both Random Scavenging Activity (RSA) and Lipid Peroxidation Inhibiting Activity (LIA), with a strong effect upon copper induced oxidation in LDL.
Recent research has demonstrated that up to 40% of pain-causing biochemicals (e.g. PGE2) in the body come from a non-enzymatic pathway related to free radicals; it is now considered that a viable anti-inflammatory agent should also have antioxidative activity.

Composition
Perluxan is a stable, free-flowing aromatic powder standardized to contain a minimum 30% alpha acids (humulone, co-humulone, etc).

Delivery
Perluxan is bioavailble and well tolerated in tablet and capsule forms.

Dosage
Daily - 500 mg twice per day; Maintenance - 500 mg once per day; Highest - 1000 mg twice per day.

Formulations
Perluxan may be used in combination with glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and other compounds for joint health and mobility. Perluxan has also been shown to boost the potency of some botanical extracts such as curcumin, possibly by improving the absorption of companion

Immune Support XL

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:37:12 +0200

The immune system in humans and animals is a complex defense system aimed at resisting pathogens like viruses, bacteria, parasites and cancer (uncontrolled cell proliferation).

As pathogens enter the body through the food, a healthy intestinal flora is essential. This means the intestinal flora contains sufficient 'good' bacteria to eliminate the 'bad' bacteria. For pathogens that are able to pass the intestines or penetrate the body in another way, it is essential the white blood cells have sufficient capacity to defend and eliminate the pathogens. An important group within the white blood cells is called lymphocytes, which in turn are subdivided into:

Natural Killer cells (NK cells)
B cells
and T cells

NK cells are especially active in cancer and HIV and are therefore described as the most powerful part of the white blood cells.

Arabinoxylan
This is a substance which has shown a positive effect on the immune system, especially on the Natural Killer cells. Arabinoxylan is a fiber, which occurs mainly in grassy crops such as rice and maize.

The product amiQure Immune Support contains high doses of the extract arabinoxylan.

Presentation: jar of 90 vegetarian capsules (450mg)
Dosage: 1 capsule per 10kg bodyweight

Scientific studies:

Three animal studies conducted with Arabinoxylan (highly concentrated supplements):
1. in 6 healthy mice, it appeared to be a significant increase in NK cells after 28 days.
2. in mice with atopic eczema, it appeared to be clear evidence of a decrease in symptoms.
3. in mice with tumors showed that after 21 days the activity of NK cells by up to 239% had increased.
Studies in people with a high dose supplement arabinoxylan, showed the following:
1. in five patients with breast cancer, the NK activity increased within 1 to 2 weeks.
2. 27 patients with various tumors (breast, prostate, leukemia and uterus), which were treated in the regular way (surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy), in the patients receiving a radiotherapy or chemotherapy (usually a fierce attack on the immune system) could be determined the activity of NK cells was increased by a factor of 2 to 5.
3. in 32 patients the tumor markers remained stable for four years.

Omega - 6

Skin and coat: the largest organ

Human's skin and animals and coat reflects its’ inner health. Many factors can influence the condition, not only nutrition and illness, but also outside influences such as UV radiation, air pollution, bacteria and viruses. The skin and coat is not only the largest organ, but are also the main protection against external infections. In short, a healthy skin is not only beautiful to look at; it’s essential for anyones health.

Countless studies have indicated the benefits of essential fatty acids in relation to a healthy skin & coat condition. However research has also demonstrated significant differences in product qualities.

The body needs fatty acids

Not all fat is healthy. Unhealthy fats such as saturated fats and trans fatty acids, are often used in the preparation of food. The healthy fats are unsaturated, and as the body cannot make these important nutrients, they must come from the diet or supplements.

What are healthy fatty acids?

Poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s) and essential fatty acids (EFA’s) are different descriptions for healthy fatty acids. These fatty acids are essential components of all cells and govern many aspects of health including: cardiovascular, brain and eye, joint, skin and coat.

The two well known families of EFA’s are Omega-3 (from Fish oil a sources of EPA and DHA) and Omega-6 (Evening Primrose oil and Borage oil, both sources of GLA).

Scientists have shown the bio-availability of Evening Primrose oil to be higher than Borage oil Efamol therefore uses Primrose oil as its source of GLA. A high bio-availability guarantees the optimal absorption of a nutrient the body.

When is there an insufficient intake of essential fatty acids?

The intake of EFA’s might be insufficient in cases of:

the poor quality of the pets everyday food
difficulty in the animals conversion of EFA’s into the active fatty acids, indeed cats lack completely the enzyme system necessary to effect this conversion
additional requirements due to life stage (growing, pregnancy, lactating and ageing)
poor general health conditions (skin & coat, joint and mobility problems)

With respect to EFA’s and food it worth mentioning the fact that while some foods might contain the right fatty acids according to the label, production or storage conditions may result in the loss or deterioration of these by oxidation and other factors.

Recent studies with Essential Fatty Acids

EFA’s can be considered as one of the most researched natural nutrients; there are hundreds of studies among dogs and cats. The majority of this these studies are related to the benefits in supporting the joints, skin and coat using Essential Fatty Acids.

amiQure-Omega-6

These capsules have been specially developed to help promote a good skin and coat condition for human and animals. It contain the highest available quality of Evening Primrose Oil.

Administration: 1 capsule per 10kg bodyweight daily for 4-6 weeks.

Presentation: 100 capsules of 660mg.

Cell Boost

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:26:49 +0200

A body is composed of tissues, each tissue is composed of small cells, an adult has up to 50.000 billion cells. The cells divide when necessary (growth, repair). This is an extremely complex process that is regulated by the body. However, if the regulation is disrupted, cells can go out of control, called usury, it gives rise to a tumor. In case the tumor is malignant, we speak of cancer.

Besides an unrestrained cell division, the natural cell division can also be disrupted by such infections (bacteria, viruses), chemicals (eg. paint, alcohol, preservatives) substances, but also by ultraviolet radiation (sun).

The completely natural product amiQure-Cell Boost is developed to support the extremely complex process of cell division. It contains a number of plant extracts, which have been researched by scientists in numerous studies.

Mechanism of Action: Like the other amiQure products, this formula consists of a multi-action system, completely focused on protecting and supporting the body's cells.

Nutrients	Function
Green tea extract (poly-phenols)	antioxidant, inhibits cell proliferations
Resveratrol	antioxidant extract, inhibits cell proliferations
Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw)	stimulates immune, inflammatory
Curcumin extract (curcumin)	inhibits metastasis
Arabinoxylan	strengthens the immune system
Quercetin	antioxidant, protects cells

Presentation: jar of 60 capsules (637mg)

Dosage: 1 capsule per 15kg body weight, the capsules can be opened easily so that dosage and administration easily be adjusted.

Combination recommendation: for an additional support of the immune system, it is recommended to combine with amiQure-Immune Support.

Slim & Fit - 300 tabs

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:13:38 +0100

Just as with humans, being overweight is one of the most common and increasingly escalating health problems in dogs. Being overweight has a direct influence on the dog’s vitality because he is less mobile and is less able to tolerate heat. Besides this, being overweight is an important cause of a number of other health problems, particularly with the joints, heart and kidneys.

Being overweight is generally the result of an imbalance between the intake of food and the use of energy, i.e. too much eating and too little movement. In order to lose weight it is therefore essential to have the dog eat less (and even better, have him eat fewer ‘treats’) and do more exercise. This process must take place gradually!

To support your dog during the slimming period - use amiQure-Slim & Fit. A natural preparation that focuses on your dog’s health. The multi-action system, with a broad, combined approach is designed to help your dog lose weight.

Multi-action system:

Chitosan, calcium > Normal transportation of fat
Vitamins A, D and E > Supplementing fat-soluble vitamins to required quantities
FiberSol > Normalisation of the feeling of hunger
Vitamin B5 > Energy and burning of fat

Packaging: 300 tablets of 1350 mg each.

Administration: One tablet daily per 5 kg body weight.

Mobility

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:02:51 +0200

Unfortunately, dogs cannot talk, but they can often make their intentions clear. For example, let us look at joint problems. Statistics show that one in ten dogs – not just large, heavy (or overweight) and older dogs – has joint problems.

If your dog: doesn’t easily go up or down stairs any more; doesn’t chase a ball or stick any more; lacks behind when you walk him and would rather just go home; shrinks from being touched; is a bit stiff in the morning, then it is very likely that he has joint problems. In that case, your faithful friend can use some extra help: amiQure–Mobility, a natural product designed to help your dog move around more freely and comfortably.

Multi-Action-System

Stress paste

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:34:43 +0100

Cats can suffer from stress and tension just like humans and other animals. Stress can result from important changes and a chronic lack of confidence. So cats can for instance become stressed by travel, noise and by a stay in pensions.

Fear of noise is a common cause. Fear of being left alone can lead to self-mutilation, destructiveness and fouling. Continued stress can even affect a cat’s immune system and lead to health and behavioural problems (e.g.: destructiveness, fouling and aggression).

A traumatic experience can also cause a change in a dog’s behaviour, think of fireworks, a fight with another dog or abuse. Another cause of behavioural problems can be a lack of socialisation as a puppy.

It is important for both cat and owner that the cat regains its equilibrium.

AmiQure-Stress was developed to alleviate stress both in the long-term and the short-term. AmiQure-Stress contains high-quality natural ingredients that relieve stress reactions in an animal-friendly manner, both in the long and the short term. It is reassuring to know that amiQure-Stress calms without making drowsy, is not addictive and can therefore be used over long periods of time.

Use for problems such as: acclimatisation, acceptance (e.g. a new pet), aggressive behaviour (outbursts, snarling), fear, hyperactivity, nervousness, intolerance, travel, tension, stress, destructiveness and fireworks.

Multi-Action system:

1. Withania extract, folic acid, Vitamin B6 > Nerves
2. Valerian (Baldrian) extract > Relaxation and calming

Administration: approx. 3 cm (2g) paste daily.

Packaging: Tube containing 100g paste; meets approx. a 50 day supply.

Coat & Vitality

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:31:09 +0100

With a cat that is growing older, the immune system becomes less efficient and because of this, illnesses and age symptoms may become more prevalent. The declining condition of the ageing cat (senior from the 7th year) is initially noticeable from the condition of the skin and fur. Apart from the fact that the coat is a good reflection of the health of the cat, it forms the most important protection of the body against infections from the outside.

Characteristics of a reduced condition and a less healthy skin and coat are:

Reduced vitality, deterioration of the senses;
Weight gain;
Lowered resistance (susceptible to infections);
Reduced mobility as a result of weight problems;
Slow metabolism;
Excessive loss of hair or local baldness;
Excessive licking, scratching or biting;
A dull fur, an unpleasant fur odour;
Skin allergy or over-sensitivity.

To give additional support to the vital bodily functions and the skin and coat of your cat use amiQure–Coat & Vitality, so that you can offer your cat a fine and healthy ‘old age’.

Multi-Action system:

Coenzyme Q10, L-acetyl-carnitine, Lipoic acid, Vitamin B3 > Vitality and energy
Coenzyme Q10, Lipoic acid, Vitamin E, N-acetylcysteine > Antioxidants
Glucosamine > Cartilage (for flexible joints)
Taurine, Coenzyme Q10 > The heart muscles
Echinacea > The immune system
Biotin, Vitamin A, Borage oil, Fish oil, Zinc, Garlic > Condition skin and coat
Inulin > The intestinal flora and digestion

Packing: Tube containing 100 g paste; meets approx. a 60 day supply.

Administration: approximately 2 cm (1.5 g) paste daily.

Hairballs paste

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:24:23 +0100

Cats wash themselves frequently, and in doing so, unintentionally swallow a lot of hair. A part of the hairs, that are swallowed, is eliminated in the excreta. The rest of the hairs accumulate in the stomach, which makes the cat cough and retch and as a consequence hairballs are brought up. A less than pleasant experience for you and your cat. The hairball problem occurs especially with indoor cats (due to continuous moulting) and longhaired breeds.

Over a period, hairballs can lead to blockage of the intestinal canal

If your cat is susceptible to hairballs, the amiQure-Hairballs product is a natural approach that is specifically formulated to assist the natural excretion of the swallowed hairs.

AmiQure-Hairballs:

Contain a high proportion of indigestible, natural fibres that help eliminate the hairs through the digestive canal;
Contain a high proportion of inulin (a fructo oligo saccharid, obtained from chicory root and
TGOS (trans-galacto-oligo-saccharide; a lactose derivative), which supports the intestinal flora and reduces the risk of blockage;
Reduce vomiting caused by hairballs.

Packing: Tube containing 100 g paste; meets approx. a 48 day supply.
Administration: approximately 3 cm (2 g) paste daily.

Combination advice on Hairballs and Coat & Vitality:
Regularly give your cat amiQure–Coat & Vitality in order to maintain optimal condition of the coat, whereby the loss of hair (certainly for indoor-cats) will be balanced. Suggested application: 3 weeks of amiQure–Hairballs and during the fourth week administer amiQure–Coat & Vitality.

Respiration paste

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:19:20 +0100

Upper respiratory tract disorders are common in cats. Main causes are: viruses, a Chlamydia bacterial agent and allergies. You recognize this type of problem when your cat:

Has a dry cough;
Breathes through the mouth;
Often sneezes;
Suffers from nasal congestion;
Has red eyes with discharge;
Sometimes in combination with loss of appetite.

In all cases it is advisable to consult your veterinarian.

The natural choice for your cat: amiQure–Respiration, a natural approach that focuses on a healthy upper respiratory tract of your cat.

Multi-action system:

Echinacea purpurea extract, Zinc, Vitamin C, Boswellia extract > The immune system
Thymus vulgaris extract, N-acetylcysteine > The breaking down of mucus
Vitamin C and E, Copper, Selenium > Antioxidants

Packing: Tube containing 100 g paste; meet approx. a 48 day supply.

Administration: daily, about 2 cm (1.5 g). In the course of time, the administration can possibly be halved, provided that deterioration of the condition is not evident.

Urinary tract paste

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:13:09 +0100

Cats are sensitive to disorders of the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra). You recognise this type of problem when your cat:

Urinates more often than usual;
Has difficulty or pain when urinating in small quantities;
Has blood in the urine;
Urinates in unusual places (accidents);
Wants to urinate but is unable to do so.
