Muddy Paws Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Care 10kg

GASTROINTESTINAL DIGESTIVE CARE
A healthy digestive system is very important to the overall health of dogs.
The main role of the digestive (gastrointestinal) tract is to digest food and absorb the nutrients to use for energy, growth, maintenance and repair.
The digestive tract also provides a barrier between the external environment and the dog’s internal environment, keeping out potentially pathogenic organisms and harmful substances.
Poor digestive health can cause discomfort for dogs, raise concerns for owners and potentially require veterinary intervention. 
The Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Care diet was proven to display 95 % protein digestibility - Ghent University Vet School - Feeding Study

FRESHTRUSION HDP
The Freshtrusion HDP process enhances the digestibility and bioavailability of Freshly Prepared meat.
Freshtrusion HDP is a unique process that involves cooking fresh meat and fish ingredients in the presence of a natural enzyme, which breaks down proteins into small peptides. 
The size of peptides plays a crucial role in protein digestibility and absorption. When protein is not effectively absorbed, it leads to a reduction in nutritional value.

THE POWER OF PEPTIDES
The intestinal epithelial cells form tight links (known as tight junctions) between the cells that help maintain the barrier function and prevent potentially harmful substances from entering the body from the environment.
If the tight junctions become damaged (e.g., due to infection or inflammation), the intestinal barrier function can be compromised, leading to gastrointestinal 
problems and potentially other health issues.
The increased digestibility and absorption of dietary peptides provides an ideal supply of amino acid building blocks, which support the renewal of intestinal epithelial cells and aid in maintaining an effective barrier function.
