Aktivait Capsules For Small Dogs (Pack of 60)

Product Information

Aktivait is a nutraceutical supplement containing natural antioxidants and substances that support brain function. Aktivait combines key nutrients necessary for sustaining optimum brain function. It contains antioxidants (vitamins C and E, selenium, co-enzyme Q10, α-lipoic acid and N-acetyl cysteine) and compounds that affect metabolism and function of the brain cells (carnitine, phosphatidylserine and the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA). It helps to prevent free radical damage and support electrical transmission between nerve cells in the brain. Cognitive dysfunction is a progressive condition that will tend to get worse with age. So supplementation with Aktivait should begin as soon as any signs are seen. It can also be given to dogs from middle age onwards to help support normal brain function. Aktivait comes in an eaasy to administer capsule and can either be sprinkled onto your dog's food or given whole. No medicine is risk free and all medicines have the potential to cause adverse effects. Some of the adverse effects are known about and these are explained in the SPC of products. Others that may only rarely occur or are specific for certain breeds or groups of animals may only be seen when the products are used more widely. If you suspect that you or your animal has had an adverse reaction to a veterinary medicine, or you think the medicine hasn’t worked as it should have done, report it to the VMD using the form available via the link below: https://www.vmd.defra.gov.uk/adversereactionreporting/ For others products(categorised as NFA-VPS) we will require details of your pets being treated, which our Suitably Qualified Person can prescribe Once other causes have been ruled out, treatments can be started to reduce the impact of CCD on your pet’s life. Can it be treated? As cats and dogs age, their levels of cognitive function may decrease, which can impact their quality of life and become a significant source of distress to their owners. Aktivait targets some of the causes of decreased cognitive function and may lead to its restoral. Aktivait may help prevent free radical damage to brain cells and improve neurological transmission within the brain.

Onset of Action: 3- 4 weeks after starting supplementation noticeable improvements can be noticed. This may vary by age, breed and severity of the changes present. Six weeks is the average reported time by owners. In a young and healthy animal, antioxidants are produced to neutralize the free radicals and maintain equilibrium. As your pet ages they produce less antioxidants and an imbalance occurs. This leads to an excess of free radicals, which damage the cells and cell contents especially DNA, lipid membranes and proteins. This in turn can lead to the development of disease and related problems. The brains of older dogs undergo degenerative changes, amyloid plaque deposition, and can be damaged by free radicals. This pathology leads to behavioural changes such as disorientation, disturbed sleep patterns, altered social interaction and loss of house training. AKTIVAIT® provides a unique blend of antioxidants and brain supportive nutrients to assist in the management of age-related cognitive dysfunction. Legally a vet is obliged, on request, to provide a written prescription for a medicine they would otherwise sell to you for your pet. Can I return prescription medicines if my animal no longer needs them? As pets age, owners tend to notice changes in behaviour. Many people feel that these are normal signs of aging and do not think that a vet visit is necessary. Often it is only when these problems can no longer be tolerated that the pet is taken to the vet to be put to sleep.

What are the benefits of using Aktivait?

Alpha Lipoic Acid – a coenzyme used in mitochondrial metabolism, also has antioxidant effects (Not in cat preparation or Aktivait cat) As dogs grow older the brain can become damaged by free radicals which can cause biological and physical damage to the brain tissue. This can lead to behavioural changes such as disorientation, disturbed sleeping patterns, loss of interest in other group members, and loss of house training. Vivitonin – improves blood flow to the brain, enabling increased oxygen supply and increased removal of waste products. It has been shown to improve dullness, lethargy and general demeanor of older dogs and increases their willingness to exercise. Aktivait is a natural ingredient-based nutraceutical supplement designed for cats and dogs. It comes in a tablet form, and may offer a range of benefits. These include supporting overall health and wellbeing, as well as specifically improving mental alertness and cognitive function. Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) is very similar to Alzheimer’s in humans. Alzheimer’s involves the build up of tangled protein plaques in the brain which damage brain cells and affect speech, memory and problem-solving.

Keeps central nervous system healthy and support brain function by avoiding free radical formation.Unlike many natural supplements, SAMe has no known side effects or reactions with other medications. It also helps support liver function and is often used in patients with liver disease. It contains a complex mix of antioxidants (Vitamins C, E, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid and N-acetyl cysteine) and compounds necessary for optimum metabolism and function of the nerve cells (Carnitine, DHA/EPA and Phosphotidylserine). It may also help to prevent free radical damage and improve electrical transmission between nerve cells. Aktivait Small Breed is the first supplement to combine all the nutrients necessary that may help to sustain optimum function. These may seem to be an additional inconvenience, but this is UK Law. Unfortunately, we cannot make any exceptions, regardless of the situation. Where can I find more information about Authorised Medications?
