Dietary supplementary feed for dogs and cats (PARNUT). HELPS TO PREPARE FOR OESTRUS AND REPRODUCTION. INDICATIONS: A new complementary feed for dogs and cats of both sexes, developed and recommended to help prepare for estrus and reproduction. Active substances AMINO ACIDS Proteins are essential components of all cells. In addition to the plastic function, they perform a catalytic function (components of enzymes) that regulate the chemical reactions taking place in the cell. From a nutritional point of view, compared to other nutritional elements, they contribute more to the formation of the organism and provide materials for production (milk, eggs, wool, etc.). Therefore, the animals need to be adequately supplied with protein through the diet. The main protein elements - amino acids - are obtained from proteins during hydrolysis. There are many known amino acids, but there are basically 20 of those that make up proteins. The complex protein molecules found in plant and animal tissues and circulating fluids are all made up of very large numbers of the same or different amino acids, so a large number of proteins can be formed from the approximately 20 naturally occurring amino acids combined with each other, each with unique properties. Of the 20 amino acids from which the most diverse proteins can be formed, about 13 (replaceable or biosynthesized amino acids) can be synthesized by the animal body; the other 10-12 (essential or abiosynthetic) amino acids must be given to the animal, as the body cannot synthesize them directly. L-CARNITINE - important for animal health; it plays a key role in transporting essential fatty acids from the cytosol of cells to the mitochondria for breakdown (beta oxidation) and energy production in the form of ATF molecules (Adenosine triphosphate (ATF) is an energy source that is used and stored at the cellular level.). This energy is necessary for normal daily activities. Therefore, L-carnitine, due to its role in the energy metabolism of fatty acids, may also be important for sperm motility, it also has a protective function for joints and influences normal heart functions. In particular, L-carnitine can affect male reproduction by having a positive effect on sperm count, concentration, motility and integrity. In order for sperm to perform their functions, they need a lot of energy, which is partly provided by long-chain fatty acids. Therefore, an insufficient amount of L-carnitine can limit the ability of spermatozoa to produce energy. L-ARGININE is an amino acid, a precursor of nitric oxide (NO), which is produced in all body tissues and performs the most important functions of the cardiovascular system, the immune system and the nervous system. In particular, arginine is a source of nitric oxide, which is useful for the process of sperm capacitation (the ability to fertilize) and the acrosomic reaction (the change in the head of the sperm that allows it to enter and fertilize the egg). Therefore, L-arginine supplementation may be beneficial for reproductive support. Arginine helps maintain excellent sperm motility, which requires putrescine, spermicidin and spermine, three polyamides in the production of which arginine plays an essential role. Very interesting Shafer et al. (1997)*2 showed that arginine also improved sperm morphology, reporting a direct correlation between the percentage of morphologically normal sperm and progressive motility. Even in fertile dogs with normal sperm counts, arginine can be beneficial in increasing sperm motility. This finding may be useful when considering the preservation of male sperm by cooling or freezing. TAURINE - found as a free substance in animal tissues. It is especially abundant in meat, poultry, fish and crustaceans, and is completely absent in the plant world. It can be synthesized from methionine and cysteine ​​in most mammals, but not in cats; moreover, since cats need it much more than other animals, they are very sensitive to its lack in the diet. For this reason, cats in particular must be fed food rich in taurine. Research at Cornell University has shown that laboratory mice fed a taurine-free diet can be infertile because their sperm have important changes, especially at the level of the tail. These changes disappeared when taurine was added to the diet. MICRO ELEMENTS Micronutrients are very important for animal nutrition; an important aspect is that they cannot be synthesized by the animal (unlike other nutrients), so they must be present in the diet to meet the requirement. Minerals play an important role in the control of animal metabolism by being constituents of the prosthetic groups of many enzymes. In addition, some of them act as enzyme activators and participate in the formation of hormones and vitamins. SELENIUM is a mineral with an antioxidant effect. This effect is determined by the fact that it is included in the composition of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction reaction of glutathione, a powerful endogenous antioxidant. Selenium deficiency may be associated with a deficiency of vitamin E, another antioxidant. ZINC - mineral; it is mainly found in hair, feathers, bones and teeth. It is absorbed (not all of it in food) in the intestines, high calcium content inhibits its use. It participates in the activity of carbonic anhydrase, which is involved in gas exchange between tissues; participates in the mechanism responsible for bone calcification; participates in the synthesis of phosphatases, pancreatic amylase and insulin. Zinc is necessary for growth, keratinization of skin and hair, osteogenesis and chondrogenesis, normal functioning of testicles and seminiferous tubules. Semen contains a lot of zinc, which is necessary for the synthesis of sperm membranes and tails. Therefore, an insufficient amount of this mineral in the diet can affect the normal maturation of spermatozoa, so they may not be strong and mobile enough. In addition, a lack of zinc can also affect the level of testosterone, since this mineral is also involved in the synthesis of these hormones. Zinc plays an essential role in regulating the hormones of the female reproductive system. Basically, it is necessary for the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone. VITAMINS Vitamins are very important bioregulators because, together with hormones, they control all physiological processes directly and indirectly through enzymatic mechanisms. According to their solubility, they are divided into fat-soluble, which dissolve in fat and apolar solvents, and water-soluble (they do not accumulate in the body, so they must be obtained daily with food), which dissolve in water and polar solvents. All vitamins are responsible for certain functions, and their deficiency can cause dysfunction. VITAMIN A (retinol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a very important role in vision, bone growth and the maintenance of normal immune system functions. Vitamin A is mainly found in foods of animal origin, such as liver, spleen, milk and milk products, and eggs, and it is also found in fish and plant products. Vitamin A is important for vision because it is a component of the retinal pigment rhodopsin. Another function performed by this vitamin is to protect the epithelium; it is particularly useful in the mucus-secreting tissues of the digestive, respiratory and urogenital systems, and vitamin A has a significant impact on reproduction. VITAMIN E - fat-soluble vitamin, also called alpha-tocopherol (from the Greek - to bear children), also called fertility vitamin. Its function is antioxidant, i.e. i.e. scavenger of free radicals and various heavy metals such as lead and mercury. It is very common in the plant world, especially in the germ of grains and their associated oils, and in the green parts of all plants. Animal tissues contain vitamin E in small amounts; except for the placenta and pituitary gland, where it is especially abundant. It performs important functions in male and female reproduction. This effect is not a direct biological mechanism of the vitamin (whose primary function in the living animal cell is to act as a physiological antioxidant that protects vitamin A and saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from autooxidation); it is more likely that it acts as a preventative for early abortion and certain forms of infertility. This vitamin is also involved in the processes of synthesis and metabolism; it has surface-active properties and is essential for the synthesis of many enzymes and coenzymes, ascorbic acid and nucleic acids. It can also increase the body's tolerance to toxic substances. Possible deficiency symptoms appear in the genital area, and they can also be caused by a lack of selenium or by high levels of fat, especially if they are spoiled. FOLIC ACID - participates in the synthesis of certain amino acids, such as methionine / homocysteine ​​and glutamic acid, contributes to normal hematopoiesis or the normal process of blood cell formation. Folic acid is also very important for the proper functioning of the nervous system. VEGETABLE INGREDIENTS In the past, all herbs and plants (annual or perennial trees or shrubs) used in pharmacy were called "officinalis". Today, herbs and medicinal plants are those used to support human and animal well-being; they can be used in the kitchen as spices; when preparing herbal teas; or they are processed by special processes in the production of dietary supplements, veterinary, cosmetic and other products. Medicinal herbs contain a phytocomplex, i.e. i.e. a collection of active constituents that are characteristic of a plant that cannot be reproduced by chemical synthesis. The synergistic action of the active ingredients of the phytocomplex gives the plant various modern effects. SPIRULINA ALGAE - very rich in vitamins, minerals and proteins, with antioxidant properties. Spirulina algae, scientifically known as Arthrospira, live mainly in subtropical freshwaters. They are blue-green in color and get their name from their characteristic spiral shape. They contain all the essential amino acids, contain 60% protein, contain not only the rare essential fatty acid GLR (gamma-linolenic acid), but are also rich in beta-carotene, vitamin B12, iron and minerals, making them one of the most complete foods on the planet. Spirulina algae contains a unique amount of phytonutrients; these phytonutrients can have a positive effect on the immune system, promote cellular health and, thanks to their chlorophyll, promote detoxification due to their abundance of antioxidants. Spirulina algae has a chelating function (retains heavy metals and promotes their elimination, preventing them from harming the body). CIBER - Curcuma longa, also called Indian saffron. Active substances such as curcuminoids are extracted from its rhizomes, of which curcumin is the most active. Due to the minerals and vitamins it contains, turmeric is a powerful antioxidant in the fight against free radicals. CINNAMON - has always been widely used and considered a very valuable spice. The characteristic smell and taste of cinnamon is due to the aldehyde present in the essential oil, which can be obtained by soaking cinnamon bark. The most valuable spice comes from Cinnamomum zeylanicum, while another well-known and widely used species is Cinnamomum cassia. Often the commercial spice is the latter type or a mixture of different types. Cinnamon essential oil contains about 70% cinnamaldehyde. In recent years, the functions of cinnamaldehyde have been studied in more detail, especially in the field of reproduction. Cinnamon is considered a powerful natural antioxidant, stimulates blood circulation and helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. MELON - melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. Its origin is disputed, but the literature indicates that it originated in southern and eastern Africa. However, today it is found and cultivated all over the world. Juicy fruits are used, which are famous for their nutritional and medicinal properties. The fruit varies in size, shape and skin and is rich in flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes and vitamin E. The pulp is attributed with various medicinal properties, including antioxidant effects and elimination of body fluids, as well as kidney protection. This is closely related to the vitamin E content and to the high concentration of SOD (superoxide dismutase), an enzyme belonging to the class of oxidoreductases that can neutralize the superoxide anion and thus exert an antioxidant effect. 1 tablet of 1.5 grams contains: L - arginine 612.5 mg L - carnitine tartrate 17.5 mg Taurine 3.6 mg Folic acid 5 mg Zinc 22.5 mg Selenium 32.5 mcg Vitamin E 20.4 IU Vitamin A 287.5 IU Turmeric extract 22.5 mg Cinnamon powder 11 mg Algae Spirulina 50 mg Hydrolyzed animal proteins 110mg Freeze-dried melon juice and pulp 10 mg Doses and method of use dogs and cats up to 5 kg - 1/4 tablet dogs and cats 5 - 15 kg - 1/2 tablet dogs 15 - 35 kg - 3/4 tablets dogs over 35 kg - 1 tablet Administer the required amount of tablets together with the daily feed or directly into the animal's mouth.
