Healthy Gut | Digestive Enzyme / Pre & Probiotic
Healthy Gut for Dogs & Cats
Healthy Gut aids in the digestion of food and supports a healthy immune system. Helps rebalance and cultivate proper growing conditions for friendly digestive flora destroyed by antibiotics and toxins.
Digestive Enzyme / Pre & Probiotic. Without proper enzymes, no matter what food you are feeding your furry family, their ability to digest and acquire nutrition could be extremely limited which may lead to malnutrition, potentially leading to poor health. Digestive enzymes can improve your animal’s nutrient absorption rate dramatically. They help rebalance and cultivate proper growing conditions for friendly digestive flora destroyed by antibiotics and toxins. All cats and dogs benefit from being able to properly absorb nutrition.
Healthy Gut is for all animals who are kibble fed. Great for animals who are unable to gain weight, have large stool volume, or are malnourished. Helpful for cats with hairballs and supports the nutritional metabolism.

INGREDIENTS
Papain
Papain, a substance derived from the unripe tropical fruit papaya, is a proteolytic enzyme. Papain helps the body break down protein foods, like animal meat, and is commonly used to support the improvement of gastrointestinal dysfunction and digestive issues. Chemicals in Papain may increase immune system function and they may also promote the release of natural chemicals that attack tumor cells. Papain is anti-parasitic.
Larch Arabinogalactan
Prebiotic Larch Arabinogalactan is a Larch tree extract that supports colon health. It is often used as an effective adjunct to cancer therapies due to its ability to stimulate the immune system and block metastasis of tumor cells. Its uses in people include chronic fatigue syndrome, viral hepatitis, HIV/ AIDS, and autoimmune diseases. It is also commonly used for infections.
Bromelain
Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme mixture derived from the stem, fruit, and juice of the pineapple plant. When taken with food, it aids in the proper digestion and absorption of food as it breaks down protein. When it is taken between meals, it is absorbed intact and circulates through the body where it exhibits anti-inflammatory and pain relieving actions. It is beneficial for the cardiovascular and circulatory systems, as well as the digestive system.
Betaine
Betaine HCI is a delivery form of Hydrochloric Acid. In the stomach, the Hydrochloride Acid converts pepsinogen to pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down protein. When taken as a digestive supplement, Betaine HCI promotes the production of additional Hydrochloric Acid in the stomach which may aid digestion and assist in the absorption of proteins, calcium, iron and B12.
Porcine Pancreatin
Porcine Pancreatin 8X USP is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the porcine pancreas. It has eight times more enzyme activity than the USP standard. This product provides protease, lipase and amylase to assist in digestion and to improve the absorption of fat, protein, and energy. When taken away from food, it exerts anti-inflammatory and pain relieving actions.
INSTRUCTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS –
No, Healthy Gut is used to help the body to correctly digest food and to add pre and probiotics. It is best used in rotation with Gut Soothe and Love Bugs to give a comprehensive balanced gut health care plan. We do have customers who feel their animals do better when they use Healthy Gut ongoing. This could be because the animals have a compromised ability to produce the proper amounts of their own digestive enzymes. Examples are increased energy, lessened arthritic pain… this is simply because they are able to digest their nutrition.
It is excellent for cats, especially those that suffer from hairball issues!
You absolutely can! If feeding commercial kibble or processed food of any kind, adding digestive enzymes will encourage the digestion of more of the nutrients in the food. It will help the body “break down” the dry food and help with nutrient absorption. You may notice reduced stool volume which would be an indication of more of the food being used by the body.
Minimum of 12 months.
The product is freeze-dried, so while refrigeration is not necessary, we believe it will help to maintain optimal freshness.
For optimal freshness, store in a cool, dry place away from heat, light, and moisture.
Both products have the same base – the pre and probiotic blend that makes up Love Bugs. Gut Soothe has the added herbal components that target inflammation and can soothe the mucosal lining. Healthy Gut has the added digestive enzyme components.
If moisture builds up, the digestive enzymes in Healthy Gut can clump together.
If your jar contains clumps, just break down those clumps and mix it together really well.
We add silicone packages to absorb the moisture, rather than adding it to the mixture. We didn’t want to mix in silicone dioxide, because we don’t think animals should be eating it.
