QUICK SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cellular Balance Program<\/strong> is a phased nutritional program in four stages for dogs and cats. It combines dietary fibers, fatty acids, plant extracts, mushroom extracts, and other nutritional components. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why a program and not a separate supplement?<\/h2>\n

The composition is based on an integrative approach centered on the gut microbiome, normal cellular metabolism, and the nutritional properties of the ingredients. Cells require energy, building blocks, and a well-functioning antioxidant system, which are also linked to the gut flora and the immune system. <\/p>\n

The program consists of four phases. Each phase has its own composition and can be selected individually. It begins with the gut flora and subsequently includes fatty acids and signaling molecules, as well as substances for cellular energy and the antioxidant system. <\/p>\n

Four processes in the cell<\/h2>\n

A healthy cell is much more than a building block. How it functions is linked to energy, the antioxidant system, the immune system, and the gut. This schedule was developed from this systems biology perspective. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
1. Energy<\/div>\n

Mitochondria?<\/span><\/span><\/span> are the energy factories of the cell. Coenzyme Q10?<\/span><\/span><\/span> and NAD+?<\/span><\/span><\/span> are part of the energy production process there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
2. The antioxidant system<\/div>\n

Energy production creates free radicals?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. Glutathione?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, vitamin C?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, and other antioxidants?<\/span><\/span><\/span> scavenge these and keep each other active.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
3. The immune system<\/div>\n

Immune cells constantly monitor what is happening in the body. Beta-glucans?<\/span><\/span><\/span> from mushrooms are recognized by receptors on these cells.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
4. The gut<\/div>\n

A large part of the immune system is located in and around the intestinal wall. That is why this schedule starts with the gut flora. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why this order?<\/p>\n

Phase 1 lays the foundation with the gut microbiome, using fibers, enzymes?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, antioxidants, and mushrooms. Phase 2 adds fatty acids and substances being researched in relation to cellular signaling processes. Phase 3 focuses on energy metabolism and the antioxidant system. Phase 4 is a smaller selection for the long term, tailored after individual evaluation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How does the Cellular Balance Program work?<\/h2>\n

The program consists of four consecutive phases, with nutrition as the foundation. Each supplement lists its ingredients. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
1a<\/div>\n
\n
Phase 1a: Nutrition as the foundation<\/div>\n
A fresh and varied foundation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Cells need amino acids?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements. Fresh, varied food provides these, and ground vegetables provide fibers for the gut flora. <\/p>\n

\n
The basic advice<\/div>\n

Variation in fresh meat<\/strong> as a base: beef, chicken, lamb, game, fish, etc. Preferably raw (BARF, or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, or KVV). Rotate protein sources regularly. <\/p>\n

20% pureed vegetables<\/strong> added to the meal: zucchini, spinach, broccoli, carrot, pumpkin, etc. Pureed and steamed, they are more digestible for dogs and cats. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
What to look out for<\/div>\n
\n
\u2713<\/span> Fresh food as the main diet<\/div>\n
\u2713<\/span> Rotating protein sources<\/div>\n
\u2713<\/span> Low in grain and starch<\/div>\n
\u2713<\/span> Few highly processed snacks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
1<\/div>\n
\n
Phase 1: Gut microbiome and nutritional basis, weeks 1 to 8<\/div>\n
Dietary fibers, digestion, and plant-based components<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The first phase combines dietary fibers with enzymes, vitamin C, curcumin, and mushroom extracts. A large part of the immune system is located in and around the intestinal wall, which is why the program starts with the gut microbiome. Prebiotic Fibers<\/strong><\/a> contains fermentable dietary fibers used as a food source by various gut bacteria. This produces short-chain fatty acids?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, such as butyric acid?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, the fuel for cells in the large intestine. Biofilm Balance<\/strong><\/a> combines digestive enzymes, NAC?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, and lactoferrin?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. The enzymes are involved in breaking down food components. NAC is a source of cysteine, the building block that determines how much glutathione a cell can produce itself. Liposomal Vitamin C<\/strong><\/a> provides vitamin C, a nutrient involved in collagen formation and antioxidant processes. Vitamin C works in the aqueous part of the cell and also restores the function of vitamin E, which works in the cell wall. Liposomal Curcumin<\/strong><\/a> contains curcumin, a polyphenol?<\/span><\/span><\/span> from turmeric being researched for its interaction with various cellular signaling processes, including Nrf2, the switch for the body’s own antioxidant enzymes. Myco Immune Complex<\/strong><\/a> combines Agaricus?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, Maitake?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, Shiitake?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, and Coriolus?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. These mushrooms contain various polysaccharides, including beta-glucans, which immune cells recognize via the Dectin-1?<\/span><\/span><\/span> receptor. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
2<\/div>\n
\n
Phase 2: Fatty acids and cellular signaling processes, weeks 8 to 16<\/div>\n
Proteins, fatty acids, and plant components<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the second phase, additional nutritional components are introduced that are involved in, or being researched in relation to, various physiological processes in the cell. Liposomal Lactoferrin<\/strong><\/a> contains lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein naturally found in colostrum?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, milk, and various body secretions. Cells need iron, but free iron can form free radicals. Omega 3-Calanus Oil<\/strong><\/a> provides omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA?<\/span><\/span><\/span> and DHA?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, which can become part of cell membranes. The composition of these membranes helps determine how signals enter the cell. Metabolic Balance<\/strong><\/a> combines NAC and berberine?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. NAC is a source of cysteine, while berberine is being researched in relation to metabolic signaling processes, such as AMPK?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, the cell’s energy sensor. PEA Complex<\/strong><\/a> contains palmitoylethanolamide (PEA?<\/span><\/span><\/span>) and Boswellia?<\/span><\/span><\/span> serrata extract. Both ingredients are being researched for their interaction with cellular signaling processes. PEA is a substance the body produces itself that works via the PPAR-alpha?<\/span><\/span><\/span> receptor in the cell nucleus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
3<\/div>\n
\n
Phase 3: Energy metabolism and antioxidant processes, weeks 16 to 24<\/div>\n
Coenzymes, antioxidants, and mushroom extracts<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The third phase contains ingredients that occur naturally in the body or are being researched in relation to normal cellular metabolism. Longevity Support<\/strong><\/a> combines NAD+, resveratrol?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, astragalus?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, and ergothioneine?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in various reactions within energy metabolism. Sirtuins?<\/span><\/span><\/span> and PARP enzymes, involved in DNA maintenance, also use NAD+. Liposomal Coenzyme Q10<\/strong><\/a> contains coenzyme Q10, a substance that is part of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, the final step of energy production. Additionally, it acts as an antioxidant in the cell wall. Liposomal Glutathione<\/strong><\/a> contains glutathione, an endogenous tripeptide that plays a role in cellular antioxidant processes. The cell also uses glutathione to conjugate substances so they can be excreted. Myco Adaptogen Complex<\/strong><\/a> combines Lion’s Mane?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, Chaga?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, Reishi?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, and Cordyceps?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. These mushrooms contain various bioactive components, including polysaccharides and triterpenes?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
4<\/div>\n
\n
Phase 4: Nutritional basis and maintenance, ongoing<\/div>\n
A smaller selection of nutritional components<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The fourth phase contains a selection of products from the previous phases. The composition can be tailored to the individual nutritional needs of the animal. Myco Immune Complex<\/strong><\/a> provides four different mushroom extracts with polysaccharides. It continues from phase 1 because the immune system has an ongoing task. Prebiotic Fibers<\/strong><\/a> contains fermentable dietary fibers for the gut microbiome. The gut flora changes along with what your animal consumes daily, and fibers are a permanent part of that. Liposomal Vitamin C<\/strong><\/a> provides vitamin C. Dogs and cats produce vitamin C themselves, but consumption varies by situation. Omega 3-Calanus Oil<\/strong><\/a> contains fatty acids that can become part of cell membranes. These fatty acids are gradually replaced and must therefore be constantly replenished. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How do you use the program?<\/h2>\n

Not every animal has the same nutritional needs. The phases therefore offer room to select products and quantities individually. For each supplement, you will find the amount per weight. In the case of existing conditions, medication use, or a special diet, it is important to coordinate the composition and quantities in advance with the treating veterinarian. This program consists of complementary feed products and is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases. <\/p>\n
