Vanaf welke leeftijd kan ik met dit traject beginnen?

Cellulaire veroudering begint al rond drie tot vier jaar bij grote rassen en vijf tot zes jaar bij middelgrote rassen. Preventief starten op middelbare leeftijd, vóór de eerste klachten, geeft meer effect dan pas beginnen als de veroudering al zichtbaar is.

Moet ik alle aanvullende supplementen gebruiken, of alleen de basislaag?

De basislaag wordt altijd volledig gestart. De aanvullingen voor gewrichten en voor cognitie zijn optioneel en voeg je alleen toe als je dier daadwerkelijk gewrichtsklachten of tekenen van cognitieve achteruitgang vertoont.

Is dit traject ook geschikt als preventie, nog zonder klachten?

Ja, dat is zelfs het meest effectieve gebruik. De basislaag richt zich op de onderliggende verouderingsprocessen (mitochondriën, inflammaging, senolyse) en niet op symptomen, waardoor preventief starten op middelbare leeftijd meer oplevert dan curatief starten bij gevorderde klachten.

Wat is CDS (cognitief dysfunctiesyndroom) en hoe herken ik het bij mijn hond of kat?

CDS is de diervariant van cognitieve achteruitgang, met signalen zoals desoriëntatie, veranderd slaapritme, minder interactie met het gezin en incidenteel huisvuil-ongelukjes. Bij deze signalen zijn Myco Adaptogen Complex, Myco Immune Complex en Adaptogen Complex een gerichte aanvulling op de basislaag.

Old Age Support Trajectory

Name: Old Age Support Trajectory
Brand: NGD Care
Availability: InStock

Price: € 0,00

Description

The NGD Care Old Age Support Program helps older dogs and cats with fatigue, joint pain, cognitive decline and reduced vitality. Can also be used preventively: do you want your animal to remain vital, comfortable and lively for as long as possible? Then you preferably start before the first symptoms. Aging is not an inevitable decay but a process that you can support.

Why a healthy aging program?

Biologically speaking, aging is not a disease but a progressive decline in cellular repair capacity, mitochondrial efficiency, and immune regulation. The hallmarks of aging in dogs and cats are identical to those in humans: mitochondrial dysfunction, loss of proteostasis, chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging), telomere shortening and accumulation of senescent cells.

Each of these processes can be supported through specific supplements that mechanistically intervene on those processes. This makes the NGD Care Age-Related Age Support Trajectory fundamentally different from giving a multivitamin: it focuses on the deepest causes of the aging process, not on its symptoms.

In dogs, cellular aging begins around the age of three to four years for large breeds, five to six years for medium breeds. Starting early gives more effect than only starting when symptoms are already visible.

How does the Old Age Support Program work?

The process is divided into a base layer that is always used, and additional layers for specific complaints. There is no strict phasing: the basics are fully started immediately. Additional supplements are added based on the specific complaints of the individual animal.

Base layer: Cellular energy and protection, always

Mitochondria support, inflammaging inhibition, senolysis

Longevity Support restores mitochondrial energy production via NAD+, activates sirtuins via resveratrol and protects nerve cells via ergothioneine. Liposomal Coenzyme Q10 synergistically supports the mitochondrial respiratory chain with Longevity Support. Liposomal Curcumin inhibits inflammation via NF-kB. Histamine Balance clears senescent cells via quercetin. Liposomal Glutathione protects cells and liver from oxidative aging damage.

Base layer, always start

→Longevity Support
→Liposomal Coenzyme Q10
→Liposomal Curcumin
→Histamine Balance
→Liposomal Glutathione

Optional supplement: Joints and mobility

For joint complaints: building cartilage, modulating pain, supporting movement

In older animals with joint complaints, Mobility Support for cartilage building, PEA Complex for pain modulation and O-Mega Blend for COX inhibition are added. This is in fact the complete Joint Support Trajectory in addition to the base layer.

Add for joint complaints

→Mobility Support
→PEA Complex
→O-Mega Blend

Optional supplement: Cognition and nervous system

In cognitive decline: stimulating NGF, supporting nerve cell health, immune modulation

In older dogs with signs of cognitive decline (CDS), Myco Adaptogen Complex for NGF stimulation via Lion’s Mane and Myco Immune Complex for immune modulation will be added. Adaptogen Complex supports the stress response that is often disrupted in CDS.

Add in case of cognitive decline

→Myco Adaptogen Complex
→Myco Immune Complex
→Adaptogen Complex

When do you see results?

Aging processes do not fully return, but their pace can be slowed down and the effects mitigated. From a systems biology point of view, starting early is the most effective: preventive use in middle age gives more results than curative use in advanced age-related complaints.

Week 2-4

First signs: more energy and alertness. Less tired quickly. Slightly better pain level with joint complaints.

Month 1-2

Noticeably better vitality. Move more smoothly. In the case of cognitive complaints, better orientation and less confusion.

Month 2-3

Significant improvement in quality of life. More sense of play. Better resistance. Blood values improve.

Month 3+

Daily maintenance structurally slows down aging. This is a long-term journey that works best when consistently maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

From what age can I start this program?

Cellular aging begins as early as three to four years in large breeds and five to six years in medium breeds. Starting preventively in middle age, before the first symptoms, is more effective than only starting when the aging is already visible.

Should I use all the supplemental supplements, or just the base layer?

The base layer is always fully started. The supplements for joints and for cognition are optional and should only be added if your animal actually shows joint complaints or signs of cognitive decline.

Is this program also suitable as prevention, without complaints?

Yes, that’s even the most effective use. The base layer focuses on the underlying aging processes (mitochondria, inflammaging, senolysis) and not on symptoms, which means that preventive starting in middle age is more beneficial than curative starting in advanced complaints.

What is CDS (cognitive dysfunction syndrome) and how do I recognize it in my dog or cat?

CDS is the animal variant of cognitive decline, with signals such as disorientation, altered sleep rhythm, less interaction with the family and occasional garbage accidents. In these signals, Myco Adaptogen Complex, Myco Immune Complex and Adaptogen Complex are a targeted addition to the base layer.
