What does ‘liposomal’ mean?
Liposomal supplements contain active substances that are packaged in microscopic fat globules, also known as liposomes. These liposomes are very similar to the cell membranes of the body. As a result, the substances are often better recognized and protected during absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
Why does NGD Care use liposomal supplements?
We choose liposomal forms because they can support bioavailability. In addition, liposomal supplements are often milder on the stomach and intestines, which fits well with our vision in which the gut environment and the microbiome play a central role.
Are your supplements natural and do they have a green label?
Our supplements are formulated with as few unnecessary additives as possible. Where possible, we work with natural, easily absorbable ingredients.
In liposomal products, the liposome complex consists of natural phospholipids, similar to the body’s own cell membranes.
Some products contain maltodextrin or acacia fibers as a processing aid to ensure the stability and processability of the liposome complex. Maltodextrin is an excipient extracted from starch that is used in small quantities and usually has few side effects.
The capsules we use are made of HPMC: a vegan, highly soluble capsule that is also suitable for animals with sensitive digestion.
Are your products tested for quality?
We work with carefully selected raw materials and reliable suppliers. The pharmacy we work with tests raw materials for quality, purity and, among other things, the presence of heavy metals. Production takes place in accordance with applicable quality and hygiene guidelines.
What is the difference between maintenance dosing and therapeutic dosing?
The therapeutic dosage is intended for an intensive period of 4–8 weeks, during which the body receives extra support to bring processes back into balance. After that, a maintenance dose is often switched to. It contains enough active ingredients for long-lasting support without overloading the body.
How long does it take to see an effect?
This differs per animal, product and situation.
- Essential oils can often give visible effect within minutes through the olfactory organ.
- CBD oil usually becomes noticeable within 30 minutes.
- Supplements often take 1–2 weeks to build up a stable level, after which the first changes become visible.
For which animals are the products suitable?
Our supplements and products are primarily developed for dogs and cats. However, many products can also be used on other animals, such as rabbits, horses or farm animals. Because the dosage can vary greatly per animal species, we advise you to always contact us for appropriate advice for other animals.
Are your products safe for cats?
Yes. Cats have a more sensitive metabolism than dogs, especially with essential oils. This has been taken into account in our compositions. It is important to follow the instructions for use.
Can I combine NGD Care supplements with regular medication?
In many cases, this is quite possible. Supplements are intended to support the body and are not a substitute for medical treatment. When using medication, we always advise to consult with a veterinarian or expert.
How do I administer the supplements?
Most supplements can be easily mixed into the food. Some liquid products can be given directly into the mouth. Always refer to the product page for specific instructions.
Can people also use these supplements?
Yes. The supplements are made from human grade ingredients. Many products are also available with a label for human use, with corresponding dosages for children and adults.
What do you mean by ‘integrative veterinary medicine’?
Integrative veterinary medicine combines regular veterinary medicine with insights from nutrition, lifestyle, microbiome therapy, orthomolecular support and Chinese medicine. The goal is to bring the entire system into balance, rather than just treating one symptom.
Why do you often start with the intestines?
The intestines play a central role in resistance, behavior, digestion and inflammatory processes. In many chronic complaints, we see a disruption of the intestinal environment. Therefore, supporting the intestines is often a logical first step.
What is the difference between a single supplement and a protocol?
A single supplement supports one specific process. A protocol consists of multiple supplements that work together in phases to support the body more broadly and deeply.
Can I start a protocol on my own without guidance?
Yes. On our website you will find a decision aid that guides you in choosing a suitable supplement or protocol. In addition, we offer webinars and it is possible to book a consultation for personal guidance.
Can I combine multiple protocols?
Some protocols can be combined, others cannot. In many cases, the Bowel Protocol can be combined well with one other protocol. We only recommend more combinations under supervision.
Why do protocols work in multiple phases?
The body recovers in steps. First the system is supported in the removal of load, then in recovery and construction. This sequence is in line with natural recovery processes.
What are prebiotics and probiotics?
Prebiotics are nutrients for beneficial gut bacteria. Probiotics are live bacteria. Together they support the microbiome.
What is a detox or Herxheimer reaction?
When biofilm or pathogenic load breaks down, more waste products can be released temporarily. The body has to clear these up, which can cause short-term fatigue or a temporary worsening of symptoms. This is usually transient.
Are your products intended as medicines?
No. Our products are dietary supplements (dietary food) and are intended to support the body, not to replace veterinary treatment.
Do you offer personal advice?
Yes. Whatsapp and the contact form we can answer short questions about the products or choice of supplements. Furthermore, for longer questions and complex patients, we offer consultations with our Integrative veterinarian.
What is the difference between ozone ointments and ozone oils?
The difference is in the base oil and the extent to which it is saturated with ozone. This affects the intensity and application. Olive oil gives a different structure than, for example, jojoba oil. The choice depends on the purpose: cleaning, caring or local support.
What do I use an ozone product for?
Ozone products are used externally to care for the skin, paws or coat in areas that need extra attention.
Can ozone products be used internally?
No. Our ozone products are intended for external use only.
What are colloidal products?

Each mineral has its own area of application. The product pages describe what each product is used for.
Are colloidal products suitable for ingestion?
No. According to current regulations, colloidal products are intended for external use only.
Are colloidal products safe for animals?
When used correctly and dosed correctly, they can be applied safely. Always follow the instructions on the label.
What is the difference between a roller, diffuser oil and spray?
- Roller: absorption through skin and fragrance
- Diffuser: action via respiratory tract and olfactory organ
- Spray: application in the environment, basket or coat
How fast do essential oils work?
Because scent is processed directly through the olfactory organ, you often see a change in relaxation or behavior within minutes.
Can I use essential oils directly on my pet?
Always use the prescribed application. Our rollers and sprays are diluted and suitable for animals. Pure essential oils should not be used undiluted.
When should I choose aromatherapy instead of a supplement?

What are flower remedies?

When do I choose a flower essence?
In case of fear, stress, trauma, restlessness or sensitive animals.
What is the difference between a flower remedy and an essential oil?

Directly in the mouth, over the food or in the drinking water.
How fast do flower essences work
Some animals react quickly, for others this takes more time. Patience is important here.
Can flower essences be combined with supplements or oils?
Yes, they can be safely combined and often complement each other well.
Are the supplements for animals the same as for humans?
Yes. The basis of our supplements is identical. We work with human grade raw materials and the same quality standards for both the animal and human line. The difference is only in the labelling, dosage recommendations and positioning according to the applicable regulations.
Why do the same supplements have two different labels?
The legislation for animal supplements and human food supplements differs. That is why products have a separate label, tailored to the target group and the legal guidelines, while the content remains the same.
Are the supplements safe for human use?
Yes. The ingredients we use meet the quality requirements for human use. The dosages and advice for humans can be found on the product pages of the human line.
Can I use the animal variant as a human?
Although the composition is the same, we recommend using the products with the label and dosage advice that suits the target group. This prevents confusion in dosage and application.
Where can I find the dosages for children and adults?
On the product pages of the human line you will find the recommended dosages per age group.
Why do you choose the same products for humans and animals?
Because the underlying biology, cell structure and need for support are very similar. We believe in system-level support, regardless of type.

Does ozone ointment also work on resistant bacteria
Yes, ozone works in a very different way than an antibiotic. As a result, there is and cannot be any resistance to ozone.
Is the ozone ointment also suitable for humans?
Yes, the ozone ointment for animals is identical to that for humans. So you can treat the whole family without any problems (as long as you respect hygiene) with the same jar of ozone ointment.
