Bark & Whiskers - Detox Support for Pets (48g) (Formerly Dr. Mercola Liver and Kidney Support)

Dr. Mercola is rebranding their pet line to Bark & Whiskers - they will be the same Dr. Mercola products that you have grown to trust and love.

Today, more than ever, your cat or dog comes into contact with environmental toxins.

Just breathing the air, indoors or out, romping through grass and garden, and lapping up tap water or puddles outside, your pet comes into contact with toxins and chemicals.

Mercola Liver & Kidney Support for pets contains a blend of 14 ingredients:

• L-Glycine
• Phosphatidylcholine
• Meriva Curcumin Phytosome
• Taurine
• Milk Thistle
• N-Acetyl L-Cysteine
• Resveratrol
• Schisandra Extract
• Green Tea Leaf Extract (decaffeinated)
• L-Glutathione
• Chlorella
• Superoxide Dismutase
• Dandelion (leaf)
• Silica

Liver & Kidney Support's ingredients are safe for regular, daily use. However, we recommend detoxing every 3 months or less frequently depending on your pet's health.

From Dr. Mercola:

Glutathione helps support your pet's liver in its removal of unwanted compounds. A peptide molecule made up of 3 amino acids, it also includes glycine.

There is also glycine along with glutathione in Liver & Kidney Support to help your pet's body make even more glutathione. It's important for other mechanisms, too.

Most everyone connects the herb milk thistle with liver health, but do you know what makes it so valuable?

A main constituent of milk thistle seed extract is silymarin, a flavonoid compound.

One of the most studied botanicals around the world, I've chosen to include milk thistle in Liver & Kidney Support because it can:

• Help protect the liver against toxins
• Support immune function
• Promote free radical scavenging
• Help preserve glutathione

Research shows that milk thistle promotes many positive effects throughout an animal's entire body, and not just the liver. And moderate amounts of milk thistle have been found to be safe for animals.*

There is also dandelion leaf extract as it is rich in nutrients, gently stimulates and supports liver and gallbladder health. And it's especially helpful for kidney health, too.

There is alsoresveratrol in the Mercola Liver & Kidney Support formula because it helps the liver "clean house" by flushing away unwanted fats, promoting optimal function.

As most pet owners realize, grapes are hazardous for dogs. For that reason, Mercola uses Japanese knotweed and not grapes as our source of resveratrol.

8 more substances that are highly regarded for their usefulness in supporting liver and kidney health are included in the Pet Liver & Kidney Support:

• Phosphatidylcholine (PC) helps support a process known as methylation.

  Pets' bodies are equipped with powerful stress hormones. Adrenaline and noradrenaline help your pet through a crisis. However, chronic exposure to these hormones can be unhealthy. The faster your pet can get rid of these hormones once they are no longer needed, the better.

  The process of getting rid of these hormones is called methylation. Phosphatidylcholine or PC is required for this process of breaking down and eliminating these hormones from your pet's body.

• Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), another potent free radical fighter, is an enzyme found in all living cells.

  As your pet ages, the number of free radicals he encounters can challenge his body's natural levels of free radical-quenching SOD.

  Supplementing with SOD may help your pet quench the free radicals his body encounters.

• NAC is a cellular antioxidant that boosts your pet's tissue glutathione levels.

  NAC protects against oxidative stress and is a potent free radical scavenger.

• Green Tea leaf extract's catechins help protect cellular DNA, according to recent research.

  For the well-being of your pet, we use only decaffeinated green tea leaf extract for this formula.

• Schisandra fruit supports liver function by stimulating liver enzymes.

• Curcuminis what gives turmeric its yellow color.

  This potent antioxidant supports your pet's liver and kidney health.

• Chlorellasupports your pet's normal detoxification processes.

• Silica supports the repair process and a healthy bowel.
