Old age protocol
Maintaining vitality in older dogs and cats
Aging is more than just wear and tear. Aging is associated with changes in energy production, inflammatory balance, bowel function and recovery capacity.
The NGD Care Old Age Protocol supports:
- Vitality and energy
- The immune system
- Brain, muscles and joints
- The quality of life in older animals
The protocol is aimed at slowing down deterioration, not at treating symptoms.
Where necessary, it is combined with the bowel protocol for extra support.
Suitable for senior dogs and cats, also preventively from middle age.
Aging is a process. Decline is not necessary.
Aging is a natural phase of life.
But deterioration, loss of energy and quality of life do not have to be a self-evident consequence.
The NGD Care Old Age Protocol supports older dogs and cats in a natural, integrative way, with attention to:
- Cellular energy and mitochondria
- Ignition balance
- immune system
- joints and connective tissue
- brain, behaviour and stress resistance
- Microbiome and uptake
Not symptom-oriented, but focused on the entire aging process.
Do you recognize this in your animal?
Is your dog or cat getting older and do you see one or more of these changes?
- Less energy, fatigue faster
- Sleep more
- Stiff when getting up, wanting to walk or play less
- Changed behavior: more stress, restlessness or anxiety
- Mental changes (slower reaction, less focus, more forgetful)
- Changing stools
- Losing weight or losing muscle mass
- Poorer vision or hearing
- A duller coat
- More 'minor ailments'
- Less recovery after exercise or illness
- Development of organ problems or tumor growth
These are not separate complaints.
These are signals of underlying aging processes.
What really happens with aging
Aging is not a sudden process, but a gradual shift of balance in the body. In aging animals, we see several biological processes that reinforce each other:
The body is in a mild inflammatory mode for a long time, which costs energy and damages tissues.
Free radicals increase, while antioxidant protection decreases. This leads to damage to cells, proteins and DNA.
The cell's power plants work less efficiently, causing animals to tire more quickly and have less resilience.
Cells lose their renewal capacity, slowing down repair and regeneration.
Connective tissue, cartilage, tendons and fascia become more fragile, leading to stiffness, osteoarthritis and muscle loss.
The immune system becomes less flexible: infections, inflammations and tumor control are less efficient.
The intestinal flora becomes less diverse, with more pro-inflammatory and less protective bacteria.
Recovery after stress, exercise or illness takes longer due to slower cell renewal and detoxification.
Brain function changes, which can manifest itself in disorientation, restlessness or reduced learning and memory functions.
Eyes, ears and nose function less sharply, which can increase uncertainty and stress.
Therefore, older animals need broad, systemic support, even if there is no clear diagnosis (yet).
The NGD Care Vision: Systems Thinking & Longevity
At NGD Care, we do not look at old age as the sum of complaints.
We see aging as an interplay of biological systems that continuously influence each other.
The NGD Care Old Age Protocol supports these systems simultaneously and in conjunction, so that the body can continue to adapt, recover and age in balance as well as possible.
The NGD Care Aging Protocol – composition & operation
1
Liposomal Longevity Complex
The basis of the protocol.
-
(NAD, resveratrol & ergothioneine)
Cell energy, DNA repair & antioxidant protection - Supports mitochondrial energy production
- Activates DNA level repair mechanisms
- Stimulates sirtuin activity (longevity pathways)
- Protects cells from oxidative damage
- Slows down processes such as telomere shortening and cell aging
2
Coenzyme Q10
Perfectly matches the longevity complex and strengthens the energy axis.
- Energy transfer, heart & muscle function
- Essential for ATP production in mitochondria
- Powerful antioxidant in cell membranes
- Supports heart function, blood flow and muscle strength
- Improves endurance and recovery
3
Liposomal MSM & Quercetin
Important in muscle loss, structural aging and recovery
- Sulfur metabolism, connective tissue & cell protection
- Provides bioavailable sulfur (decreases with age)
- Supports collagen, elastin and connective tissue building
- Improves suppleness of skin, joints and vascular tissue
- Quercetin protects against oxidative damage and tissue aging
4
Liposomal Mushroom Mix 1
Focused on immune aging and disease susceptibility.
- Immune stimulation & anti-tumor support
- Strengthens immune vigilance
- Contains β-glucans with immune-modulating action
- Supports natural tumor control
- β-glucans also act as prebiotics
5
Liposomal Mushroom Mix 2
In practice, it is almost always added to older animals.
- Stress regulation, brain & adaptation
- Supports stress regulation and HPA axis
- Promotes mental peace and resilience
- Supports cognitive functions and neuroprotection
- Works complementary to mix 1: stimulation + regulation
6
Liposomal Curcumin
Focuses on the quiet engine behind many age-related complaints.
- Inflammatory balance & epigenetic regulation
- Inhibits low-grade inflammation
- Protects brain and joints
- Supports epigenetic processes involved in aging
7
Liposomal Eggshell Membrane
Essential for stiffness, osteoarthritis and structural deterioration.
- Collagen, cartilage & connective tissue
- Contains multiple types of collagen and glycosaminoglycans
- Supports stability of cartilage, skin and vessels
- Compensates for declining collagen production with age
8
Calanus oil
Connects Western longevity with energetic support.
- Inflammatory balance, cell membranes & Kidney Yin (TCM)
- Pure omega-3 in phospholipid form
- Supports brain, heart and joints
- Anti-inflammatory at the cellular level
- Within TCM: supports Kidney Yin, essential for aging
9
Liposomal Glutathione
Need increases with age, production decreases.
- Detoxification, cell protection & repair
- Main endogenous antioxidant
- Essential for liver detoxification
- Protects mitochondria from oxidative damage
- Supports recovery after illness, stress and medication
10
Prebiotics
The foundation of the whole protocol.
- Microbiome, absorption & system regulation
- Restoring diversity of the intestinal flora
- Improve nutrient absorption
- Reduce low-grade inflammation from the gut
- Support immune and brain-gut axis
In summary
The NGD Care Old Age Protocol supports:
- mitochondria and cell energy
- Antioxidant protection
- Ignition balance
- immune system & tumor control
- collagen, connective tissue & joints
- brain, behavior and stress regulation
- Microbiome and uptake
Not just one complaint, but the entire aging process.
