These ingredients also increase antioxidant intake to protect cells and support natural defense mechanisms, and help break down mucus and other cellular debris, beneficial for dogs suffering from respiratory allergies. Your pup will pollen love!
Ingredient Purposes:
Anti-inflammatory
Mangosteen contains xanthones, which have anti-inflammatory effects, and turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which also helps reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a common component of allergic reactions, so consuming mangosteen may help reduce overall inflammation in the body, potentially easing some allergy symptoms.
High in antioxidants
Curcumin is also a potent antioxidant, which helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. This can support overall health by protecting cells from damage and supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms, especially those caused by allergic reactions or stress.
Reduction of mucus production
