It is now thought that the benefits to human health of eating five portions of fruit and vegetables every day are not solely due to the vitamins found in these foods but to the flavonoids and bioflavonoids that they also contain. The Professional Care recipe allows dogs to receive some of these same benefits within a highly palatable and easily digested food.
A unique component of the I-S Formulation is Propolis. Propolis is made by bees from the resins of the plants and trees they feed on. Propolis made from a selection of tree and plant species in certain areas of the world is believed to be the most beneficial and only the highest quality Propolis is sourced for inclusion within the I-S formulation. Essential oils are also key components of Propolis. Bees use Propolis to seal up their hive and coat the inner walls and this offers both mechanical and biochemical protection against funguses, bacteria and viruses.
Scientific verification of the benefits of traditional health enhancing substances from nature, such as fish oils and evening primrose oil, has been possible in recent years. Many very sophisticated modern medicines are also derived from plants and other natural substances, as knowledge of their biochemical make up expands. Similarly the benefits of Propolis have been known for many years, and its use was advocated by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, and Culpepper, the herbalist, as a way to improve healing. Only recently have scientists revisited this interesting substance and found it to have a protective effect against many viruses and bacteria, aiding the body to resist succumbing to illness. The composition of Propolis is very complex and there are very many active ingredients. Many of these ingredients have individually been demonstrated to help the body to heal itself following trauma, and to maintain the health of the gastrointestinal and circulatory system and skin.
A well supported immune system is especially important for puppies who have immature immune systems, older dogs who may show a gradual decline in the activity of the immune system, and working or breeding dogs who may experience physiological stress that results in an impaired immune response. The Professional Care recipe benefits from incorporation of well known antioxidants, such as vitamin E and C, and selenium, in addition to the more sophisticated ingredients from nature that are found in the I-S Formulation, for a healthy immune system.
