Vegetable support Doctor plus Whey(for Liver)

Product characteristics

Ingredients and actions

• Whey protein

  Branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs)

  BCAAs are essential amino acids that not only assist liver function but also serve as an energy source for muscles, playing an important role in maintaining muscles.

• Pumpkin

  β-Carotene, Vitamin E, Dietary fiber

  Pumpkin is superior to many other vegetables, especially for its antioxidant effects. Its vitamin E in particular suppresses formation of “lipid peroxide,” a cause of aging, and improves blood circulation.

• Broccoli

  β-Carotene, Vitamin K, Dietary fiber

  Broccoli is called the king of functional vegetables for its strong antioxidant effects. It is also rich in vitamin K with hemostatic effects in bleeding.

• Carrot

  β-Carotene, α-Carotene, Dietary fiber

  Carrot contains an extremely high level of β-carotene, a nutrient with strong antioxidant effects, as well as α-carotene, a nutrient with even stronger antioxidant effects. Carrot is said to contribute to the prevention of cellular aging and lifestyle-related diseases.

• Shiitake mushroom

  β-glucan, Vitamin D, Dietary fiber

  Shiitake mushroom contains β-glucans, a type of polysaccharide, and lentinan, which is believed to play a role in strengthening immune functions. Vitamin D found in dried shiitake mushroom acts to assist calcium absorption.

Commonly-asked questions about the products Meni-One answers questions from pet owners.

I heard that branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs) contained in Whey improve liver function. Please tell me that reason.

In a healthy body, the volumes of aromatic amino acids (AAAs: tyrosine and phenylalanine) and BCAAs (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) are constantly maintained with the ratio of 1:3 to 4. However, because an animal with liver disease uses a larger volume of BCAAs, the proper balance between AAAs and BCAAs may be lost, resulting in reduced liver function. Vegetable support Doctor plus Whey supplements scarce BCAAs to support recovery of liver function. In addition, water-soluble dietary fibers contained in the ingredients absorb ammonia, which is generated in the digestive tract, and promotes excretion of ammonia in feces. Furthermore, Vegetable support Doctor plus Whey facilitates the growth of beneficial bacteria such as lactobacillus by serving as a nutritional source for symbiotic bacteria in the large intestine, helping to improve or maintain the intestinal environment.

Can I cook it with home-made meals to feed?

Some of the nutrients, such as vitamins contained in “Vegetable support Doctor plus” may be lost by cooking. Thus, please sprinkle the product on home-made meals after cooking.

Can I buy this product at a pet shop or by the internet?

Please use this product under a veterinarian’s direction because this is a veterinary-exclusive product.

I sprinkled the powder-type product over dry food, but it accumulated at the bottom of the plate, and my pet sometimes gets choked.

Please try to sprinkle the powder over dry food after adding some water, using a spray bottle, etc.

The fecal color became green after feeding “Vegetable support Doctor plus.” Is it okay to keep feeding it?

There are rare cases in which the color of feces turns green due to vegetable-derived pigments; please consult your veterinarian because other disease might be involved.

The color of “Vegetable support Doctor plus” looks darker (or lighter) than that of the previous product I bought. Is it okay?

There is no problem in the quality of the product. The color of “Vegetable support Doctor plus” may change because we do not use artificial colors and the production areas for the vegetable ingredients vary depending on the seasons. Once opened, the color may change under the influence of oxidation; however, there is no problem in the quality.

Is there any way to measure the feeding amount easily for the powder-type product?

Please try to use the following indications: a teaspoon (5 cc) of the powder holds about 2 g. and a tablespoon (15 cc) holds about 6 g. Please consider the tablet-type or package-type product (Whey) as well.
