Key Vitamins
pure essentials for mature catsB-Complex – refers to a “cocktail” of essential B-Vitamins taken together. B vitamins are essential for the conversion of food into energy.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - Cats need five times as much B1 dogs. Thiamine helps convert glucose into energy, and aids normal muscle and nerve function.

Niacin – Niacin deficiencies increase susceptibility to infection.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) - needed for the proper utilization of amino acids.

Folic Acid and B12 - necessary for normal red blood cell formation. B12 is also needed for normal nerve impulse transmission.

Vitamin C – cats totally excrete Vitamin C through the kidneys, while it acidifying urine. The result is fewer kidney infections and fewer kidney stones.

Biotin - important for maintaining healthy skin and hair.

Vitamin A (found in Cod Liver Oil) - essential for healthy vision in cats.

b - the active form of Vitamin D essential for healthy bone formation and teeth.

Vitamin E - a fat-soluble vitamin that protects cell membranes for oxidative damage.

Coenzyme Q10 - a key nutrient found in each cell that promotes energy production within cells and muscle contraction, especially the heart muscle.

Choline - important for proper nerve impulse transmission.


Key Minerals
Calcium - essential for bone formation, blood coagulation, muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission.

Phosphorous - works with calcium to maintain growth and structure of the skeletal system.

Copper - a trace mineral necessary for the formation of collagen, bones, and connective tissue.

Zinc - a powerful antioxidant mineral that also activates key enzymes in the body.

Magnesium - essential for energy production, muscle relaxation, and neuromuscular transmission. It also helps prevent tooth decay by binding with calcium to tooth enamel.

Selenium - a powerful antioxidant mineral that works with Vitamin E to protect cell walls.


Essential Fatty Acids
Fish Oil contains the long-chained Omega-3s (EPA and DHA) needed for the normal development and normal function of healthy eyes, heart and brain.

Borage Seed Oil - the richest source of the Omega-6, Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA). GLA is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent within the body.

Amino Acids
L-Taurine - an essential amino acid for cats. It is needed for healthy heart function and deficiencies can lead to retinal degeneration in cats and result in irreversible blindness.


Electrolytes
Potassium - necessary for proper function of muscles and nerves and to maintain a proper fluid balance within the body. As kidney function declines in older cats, potassium deficiency is often a consequence due to excessive loss of potassium.
