They lack glucuronidation as a detoxification route, allowing substances that dogs tolerate well to accumulate in cats. Gentle Parasite Guard circumvents this by working exclusively with substances that do not cause a significant liver load: fatty acid-rich oils, vegetable bitter substances and polyphenols.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">Pumpkin seed oil contains cucurbitacins and specific amino acids that affect the motility of intestinal parasites and create a less favorable intestinal environment. Quassia produces quassinoids with bitter, insecticidal properties. Olive leaf extract contains oleuropein, a polyphenol with antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties.  <\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f7faf7; border: 1px solid #d0e8d0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 28px;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #2b5040; margin-bottom: 14px;\">Composition<\/h3>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Pumpkin seed oil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Cucurbitacins and amino acids support intestinal function and create a less favorable environment for worms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Quassia Extract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Bitter substances support digestion and affect the intestinal environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Olive leaf extract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Oleuropein supports the microbial balance in the intestine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Lavender (microdosing)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Contributes to gentle tolerability of the formula.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Roman Chamomile (microdosing)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Soothing and well tolerated.
