Complementary feed for cats and dogs

Containing a high concentration of gut microcultures, Flora complex² naturally supports the intestinal flora and the immune system. Suitable for pets with allergies and diabetes.

Flora complex² contains two bacterial strains for a healthy intestinal flora. Important vitamins, enzymes and fatty acids are produced in the gut flora. Even an otherwise stable microbiome can get out of balance as a result of antibiotic therapies, deworming or infections caused by pathogens. The two strains of probiotic intestinal cultures found in FloraComplex² help stabilize the intestinal flora and can thereby strengthen the immune system.

Inulin (Prebiotic) Inulin belongs to the category of prebiotics, which are oligosaccharides that are indigestible by the body's enzymes and thus serve as a fermentable substrate for the bacteria of the intestinal flora. Inulin can promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium, while pathogenic germs are not supported. For this reason, inulin is attributed with a positive effect on the immune system. When inulin is metabolized by gut bacteria like Enterococcus faecium, organic acids are released. These have a stabilizing effect on the intestinal microbiota. Tests on puppies have also shown that inulin as a food additive leads to a reduced colonization of salmonella.

Lactobacillus acidophilus (Probiotic Bacterial Cultures) Lactobacillus acidophilus is a facultatively anaerobic, gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium. It is one of the most well-researched probiotics for the health of dogs and cats. The bacterium produces lactic acid, improves stool consistency, and helps maintain a healthy gut flora. Additionally, Lactobacillus acidophilus modulates local immune defense and promotes a healthy intestinal epithelium.

Enterococcus faecium (Probiotic Bacterial Cultures) Enterococcus faecium cultures help to naturally build up the gut flora. They colonize the intestine and support the regulation of intestinal peristalsis. The cultures also help reduce the presence of pathogenic gut bacteria in the intestine. They compete with these for receptors on the intestinal epithelium and alter the luminal pH in such a way that the binding ability of pathogenic gut bacteria is affected. Especially in a weakened gut, harmful microorganisms can thus be displaced in favor of the natural gut flora.
