Frequently asked questions
Is this a dewormer?
No. This is an oil blend with plant extracts. If you suspect worms or other parasites, have the stool examined by your veterinarian.
Why not for cats?
Cats metabolize phenols, such as carvacrol and thymol from oregano and thyme, much more slowly. The Gentle variant is available for cats.
Works well with
A phased approach for the intestinal flora and the intestinal wall. A large part of the immune system is located around the gut.
Contains fibers that intestinal bacteria use as food.
Combines berberine and NAC. Berberine is being researched in relation to AMPK, the cell’s energy sensor.
