PET-C PLUS™ is a potent and effective antioxidant formula designed especially for large pets and small pets. It has been believed widely that most animals (excluding guinea pigs, certain fruit bats, and humans) can produce adequate levels of Vitamin C. However, current research indicates that during times of stress, exposure to chemicals, disease states, or during times when the body requires nutrients for healing (and more generally during increased exposure to damaging free radicals), animals (including pets) cannot always generate adequate Vitamin C to meet effectively their needs for this essential nutrient.

Moreover, it is now established that antioxidant nutrients which synergistically can boost the effects of Vitamin C as a free-radical scavenger may further enable animals to combat the degenerative and pro-aging effects of oxidants in their bodies. PET-C PLUS™ is designed carefully to provide levels of Vitamin C and synergistic nutrients that support pets in meeting their daily needs for full-spectrum antioxidant protection leading to abundant health, rapid healing, and optimal quality of life.

PET-C PLUS™ contains buffered Vitamin C in the form of powdered calcium, magnesium, and zinc ascorbates; high potency grape seed, skin, and stem extract; green tea extract; reduced glutathione; n-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC); quercetin chalcone; lipoic acid; coenzyme forms of Vitamin B2 and Vitamin B6; and selenium. Desiccated liver (porcine source) is included to increase nutritional value and palatability. PET-C PLUS™ is hypoallergenic. The ingredients are contained in a preservative-free gelatin capsule with no dicalcium phosphate or magnesium stearate.

MEET PET-C PLUS™. AN ANTIOXIDANT FORMULA THAT WORKS.

PET-C PLUS™ is a synergistic antioxidant formula that is designed to boost the ability of the body to quench free radicals in its aqueous (i.e., water-based) compartments. Because antioxidants may become free radicals after they have been used, the body has an elaborate system for recovery of oxidized antioxidants. For example, reduced glutathione can reduce oxidized Vitamin C back to its unoxidized state. In addition, glutathione and NAC (a major precursor of glutathione) provide important protection against toxins and free radicals and are able to strengthen the immune system.

Vitamin C has the ability to reduce oxidized Vitamin E back to its unoxidized state and also can reduce glutathione and spare it for other important functions, including detoxification and immune system enhancement. Many of the polyphenols found in red grape and green tea extracts (e.g., oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), anthocyanidins, and catechins) spare Vitamin C and glutathione in the body.

Grape Extract (skin, seed, and stem) and Green Tea Extract contain highly bioavailable bioflavonoid complexes that in research studies have shown powerful antioxidant capability. The oligomeric proanthocyanidins of grape extract are able to strengthen collagen fibers in aging or damaged connective tissue and can act as a preventive against connective tissue damage/degradation.

Quercetin is one of the major nutrients used for the control of inflammation. Whereas the usual forms of quercetin are not absorbed readily in the intestinal tract, the quercetin (chalcone form) used in this product is highly water-soluble and is assimilated extremely well by the body.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a potent fat-soluble and water-soluble antioxidant with important metabolic and detoxification properties, and operates as an antioxidant in both its oxidized and reduced states. It is able to reduce oxidized Vitamin E and oxidized Vitamin C, and has been shown to enhance glutathione levels. Selenium has been shown by clinical research to be a key mineral in the body's defenses against free radicals.

Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, and calcium synergistically work with the other ingredients in this product and enhance their effects. Desiccated liver is a food that attracts most animals and it ensures that pets will take the product.

The nutrients in PET-C PLUS™ have been carefully selected and balanced to provide optimal effects, especially protection against free radicals, detoxification, immune system enhancement, strengthening of connective tissue, and reduction of inflammation. PET-C PLUS™ provides outstanding nutritional support for a wide variety of conditions of poor health, as well supports and maintains a state of health and well-being.
