Advanced scientific formula developed in conjunction with Richard E Palmquist, DVM. 70-75 day supply.
Search, but you will not find a better product for protecting your animal's health. Only two scoops per day provide the vitamin insurance your animal needs to stay healthy and strong.
Animals have unique physiological structures, and therefore need specific food and nutrients to keep them in optimal health. No longer considered just animals, household pets require special attention. Filling the need, the pet food industry has grown tremendously over the years. But are you getting the best nutrients for your dog or cat?
Cats
Cats have been domesticated since early times, essentially to catch rats and mice. Today, they are mainly household pets that, like dogs, require special attention when it comes to their nutrition and care.
Cats are carnivorous. But, unlike dogs that can eat some plant-based foods, cats need animal protein to survive. Amino acids like taurine and arginine are important to a cat's health; without them cats could die. Taurine, for one, is a must for heart, kidney, and eye health. Arginine detoxifies ammonia in cats' kidneys and is also important for heart and pancreatic function and keeping the gut healthy. The essential fatty acid, arachidonic acid, is another must for cats—it is used in every cell in the body.16 And, just like humans, they need B vitamins to support their cardiovascular system. Cats also have problems metabolizing certain amino acids from other nutrients, like the conversion of niacin to tryptophan, or vitamin A from beta-carotene, along with limitation in enzyme systems. For that reason cats have a more stringent need for specific nutritional requirements than for omnivores such as the rat, dog, and man.
An Excellent Source
So how can you be assured that you are giving your pet the best nutrition? Besides high quality commercial foods that are nutrient-enriched, feed supplements are the best option to make sure your pets are getting all the vitamins and minerals they need to live long healthy lives.
Life Extension Dog Mix and Life Extension Cat Mix are among the best products for protecting your animal's health. Just two scoops per day provide the vitamin insurance your pet needs to stay healthy and strong. Life Extension Dog Mix contains significant amounts of high-grade nutrients usually reserved for the most expensive human supplements. It contains flavonoids, amino acids, antioxidants, probiotics, essential fatty acids, methylation enhancers, and more.
Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant, has been added to both mixes. Resveratrol is an extract from red grapes and other plants. A tremendous number of studies indicate that resveratrol provides multi-faceted health benefits. Among resveratrol's many benefits is its ability to help treat pain, regulate bacterial growth, support immune system, protect DNA, and many other conditions.
In fact, many commercial pet foods do not contain the vitamins, amino acids, phytonutrients, and advanced antioxidants found in Life Extension Dog Mix and Life Extension Cat Mix. Life Extension pet supplements contain the same pharmaceutical-grade nutrients used in the products consumed by Life Extension Foundation members.

Taurine: A critical amino acid for the cat, taurine is a sulphur amino acid which is essential to the overall health of your animal. Critical for the eyes, liver, brain, kidneys and heart, taurine acts as a powerful antioxidant, protein-builder and water balancer in cats. Lack of taurine is associated with heart disease, hypertension, chronic renal failure, retinal degeneration and other degenerative diseases.
Arginine: A single meal deficient in arginine can kill a cat. This amino acid is crucial for neutralizing the ammonia created when other amino acids are processed and utilized. L-arginine is converted into nitric oxide, a substance critical for blood vessels, heart, brain and pancreas. A lack of arginine causes the gut to become permeable. This may lead to immune problems.
Arachidonic acid: Critical fatty acid for the cat. Necessary for immunity, the function of cell membranes, energy production and more. Cats do not have enzymes needed to convert linoleic oils to AA. They need animal fat to maintain sufficient AA. Arachidonic acid depletion has been documented in feline leukemia infection.
Vitamin C: Cats make their own vitamin C. However, environmental stress can deplete your pet's supply. Vitamin C has been used to help sick animals get well.
Betaine (TMG): Contains methyl groups which can be donated to other molecules and used for the synthesis of new proteins. In the kidneys, betaine is used to maintain water balance.
Biomate (R) LS-20 probiotic concentrate: Canned and dry cat food is cooked at high temperatures which destroy enzymes and bacteria important for the gut. Supplementing with gut-friendly bacteria may reduce vomiting and the incidence of intestinal diseases.
Betatene: Over 600 carotenoids have been identified. Carotenoids are well-known as the pigments that give red, orange and yellow vegetables their color. Cats cannot convert beta-carotene to vitamin A, however, their immune cells take up and use the carotenoid. Studies show that carotenoids possess powerful antioxidant and cancer preventive properties.
Lipoic acid: Enhances insulin sensitivity and the disposal of glucose. Powerful antioxidant.
Labiatae extract: From rosemary, thyme and safe. Contains 350-500 mcg apigenin-7-glucoside, up to 100 mcg apigenin and 50-100 mcg luteolin. Flavonoids are responsible for some of the anticancer benefits of fruits and vegetables. The flavonoids chosen for this formula have scientifically proven cancer prevention properties.
Resveratrol: A powerful antioxidant, extracted from red grapes and other plants. A tremendous number of studies indicate that resveratrol provides multi-faceted health benefits. Among resveratrol's many benefits is its ability to help treat pain, regulate bacterial growth, support immune system, protect DNA, and many other conditions.
