UT Strength Feline Bite-Sized Chews
Daily Urinary Tract Support
VetriScience UT Strength Feline is a formulation to support urinary tract health and can be used long term for those cats that are prone to urinary tract issues or crystals. UT Strength contains probiotics, glucosamine and cranberry extract that work synergistically to help displace harmful bacteria, support the function and integrity of the mucosal lining, maintain proper intestinal biodiversity, and help prevent the attachment of pathogenic bacteria to urinary tract walls.UT Strength contains D-Mannose, a naturally occurring simple sugar that removes harmful bacteria by attaching to bad bacteria and eliminating. It’s absorbed eight times slower than glucose and is not converted to glycogen or stored in the liver when ingested. Rather, D-Mannose goes directly into the blood stream from the kidneys to the bladder. The bacteria displaced by D-Mannose are responsible for 80 to 90 percent of urinary tract infections. Antibiotic treatment may cause an imbalance in the normal flora, while Mannose supports the displacement of harmful bacteria.UT Strength Feline also features N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG), an important form of glucosamine found in the body. It is the form that is used for the production of glycoproteins. The glycoprotein layer in the mucosal lining of the urinary tract has a high content of NAG. This layer of mucosal cells is the protective barrier against acids and bacteria, and it is replaced every 3-4 days. Due to this high turnover rate, the GI tract requires increased amounts of NAG to support structural integrity and functionality.GanedenBC30 is a gram-positive, spore-forming, lactic acid producing strain of Bacillus coagulans. This bacteria has shown ability to:
- Maintain proper biodiversity of all bacterial strains in the small and large intestine
- Improve digestion by producing a wide spectrum of enzymes
- Utilize undigested carbohydrates and lipids in the small bowel
- help regulate gut-associated cytokine activity
Cranberry Extract helps to acidify urine. It naturally contains proanthocyanidins that neutralize free radicals and prevent the adherence of pathogenic bacteria to the cells that line the bladder and urinary tract. Cranberry has also bee used as a urine deodorizer as it decreases the strong smell of ammonia.
