Ibedex
Complementary feed for cats, dogs, calves and cattle.
- Strengthens intestinal function and promotes a healthy microbiome.
- Helps to maintain a perfect stool consistency.
- Also suitable for allergy sufferers.
The microbiome can be positively influenced by prebiotics, because prebiotics provide a good nutritional and growth basis for certain "desirable" bacterial strains in the large intestine. The proliferation of these strains means that undesirable (disease-causing) germs cannot spread any further and are displaced.
In contrast to probiotics, prebiotics are not living bacteria, but indigestible fiber. This is the only reason why they can pass through the stomach and small intestine "unhindered" and reach the large intestine. Feeding prebiotics is also a good way to support a diet: they regulate blood sugar levels because they make it more difficult to absorb usable carbohydrates. Bile acids and ammonia are also bound in the intestine and excreted more easily, which relieves the strain on the liver and kidneys

Inulin (Prebiotic) Inulin belongs to the genus of prebiotics, that are not digestible by the body's own enzymes and are therefore a fermentable substrate for the bacteria of the intestinal flora. Inulin can promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium - whereas pathogenic germs do not benefit. 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 micro-biota. Last sentence: Studies conducted on puppies have shown that inulin added to the food reduces colonization of Salmonellae.
Psyllium Husks (Plantago ovata) The shell of the Indian psyllium seed has a strong natural swelling effect. The seed can absorb up to 40 times its own weight in water. Once in contact with water, it forms a protective layer of mucus. This forms a film on the mucous membrane of the stomach and esophagus. In the intestine, psyllium seed husks can bind the excess fluid. This thickens the stool and regulates the stool discharge in a natural way.
Microcrystalline Cellulose Microcrystalline cellulose is obtained from plant fibers and is not absorbed or digested by the body. Dietary fiber such as microcrystalline cellulose regulates digestion and promotes healthy intestinal flora. Beneficial intestinal bacteria can multiply and form important short-chain fatty acids.
