EnteroGast acute promotes the solidification of the feces even when administered in small doses. It supports the gut function in three phases. Firstly, the astringent properties of ratanhia and oak prevents too much fluid from entering the intestine. Secondly, Psyllium husks bind free liquid, thereby solidifying the feces. The final component of EnteroGast acute, the gut bacteria Enterococcus faecium, promotes the build-up of healthy intestinal flora. EnteroGast acute in powder form is easy to mix into food and administer – perfect for cats and dogs that refuse tablets. EnteroGast acute powder contains no added flavorings and is suitable for animals suffering from allergies.

Ingredients (excerpt)

• Enterococcus faecium (cultures de bactéries probiotiques)

  Enterococcus faecium cultures help to naturally replenish the intestinal flora. They colonize the intestine and support the regulation of intestinal peristalsis. In addition, the cultures also help to reduce the presence of pathogenic intestinal bacteria in the intestine. They compete with the pathogens for receptors on the intestinal epithelium and change the luminal pH in a way that affects the binding ability of pathogenic intestinal bacteria. This is particularly beneficial in the case of a weakened intestine, where harmful microorganisms can be displaced in favor of the natural intestinal flora.

• Purple coneflower extract (Echinacea purpurea herba)

  In vivo studies have shown that various Echinacea preparations have an immune-modulatory effect when administered orally.

• Inulin (prebiotic)

  Inulin belongs to the genus of prebiotics, i.e. oligosaccharides, which are not digestible by the body's own enzymes. Therefore, it is a fermentable substrate for the bacteria of the intestinal flora. Inulin promotes the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium without benefitting pathogenic germs. Consequently, inulin is recognized as having a positive effect on the immune system. Organic acids are released when intestinal bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium metabolize inulin. These acids have a stabilizing effect on the intestinal microbiota. Studies conducted on puppies have shown that adding inulin to food reduces the colonization of Salmonellae.
