Oregano and thyme contain carvacrol and thymol, phenolic compounds that destabilize bacterial and protozoan cell membranes and disrupt biofilm formation. Cinnamon leaf disrupts enzyme systems of parasites via cinnamaldehyde. Pumpkin seed oil and quassia act on the intestinal environment through bitter and amino acid mechanisms.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">By dissolving in MCT oil, the active components are better absorbed through the intestinal wall and the formula is more stable than aqueous solutions. Lavender and Roman chamomile reduce the tingling that more powerful oils can cause in the gastrointestinal tract. <\/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;\">Oregano<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Carvacrol destabilizes bacterial and protozoan membranes and inhibits biofilm formation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Thyme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Thymol works synergistically with oregano and disrupts biofilm structures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Cinnamon leaf<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Cinnamaldehyde disrupts enzyme and energy systems of parasites and inhibits biofilm formation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Rosemary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Supports digestion and bile function for healthy bowel function.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Peppermint<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Contributes to normal bowel movement and reduces discomfort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Pumpkin Seed Oil &#038; Quassia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Basic support via cucurbitacins and bitter substances.<\/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>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Lavender &#038; Roman Chamomile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Softening and better tolerability of the overall formula.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #fff8e1; border-left: 4px solid #e6a817; padding: 14px 18px; margin-bottom: 28px; border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.93rem; color: #5a3e00;\"><strong>Please note:<\/strong> Intense Parasite Guard is a supportive agent, not a substitute for veterinary treatment.
