A healthy urinary tract is important for a healthy cat. Interactions between several body systems ...A healthy urinary tract is important for a healthy cat. Interactions between several body systems including the bladder and nervous systems can affect your cat's urinary health. External influences in today's busy environment can also affect your cat's state of mind. Normal healthy bladders have a layer of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) coating them. This layer protects the bladder from direct exposure to urine. Urine activates sensory nerve fibres which the brain perceives as uncomfortable. Cystophan helps to support and preserve the protective glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer of the bladder. It also contains L-tryptophan which is used in the brain to make serotonin, the happy hormone. Cystophan Urinary Health and Bladder Support is chicken flavour for palatability. Dual support for a healthy bladder lining and normal stress levels. Ingredients include N-acetyl D-glucosamine (acts as a building block for GAGs), Hyaluronic acid (one of the main components of the protective GAG layer that lines the bladder), and L-tryptophan (converted to serotonin, the happy hormone). Artificial chicken flavouring is included to improve palatability and compliance. Cystophan is the first nutritional supplement to provide this combination of ingredients, reducing the number of products your cat needs to take. It is available in tubs of 30 and 240 capsules. Directions for Use: The capsules can be given whole or opened, and the palatable contents sprinkled onto food. Initially administer according to the guidelines below for at least two weeks. For long-term maintenance, administer according to the guidelines below: Give for as long as considered necessary or as advised by your veterinary surgeon. For cats weighing less than 3kg: Initially 1 capsule daily, for long-term maintenance 1 capsule every other day. For cats weighing more than 3kg: Initially 2 capsules daily, for long-term maintenance 1 capsule daily.
