Dietary interventions in cats have long played a role in managing specific clinical problems, such as diabetes or renal disease. However, nutrition can also play a positive role in addressing changes in health, such as the cumulative effects of oxidative stress, that arise from simply living a long time.
While there are many factors that affect the rate an individual ages, studies by scientists show that the combined effects of a nutrient blend that includes antioxidants, essential fatty acids and a prebiotic, can help older cats have healthier, longer lives
Researg was conducted a groundbreaking 9-year study which demonstrated that feeding a specific blend of nutrients can extend the healthy lives of cats
In this long-term feeding study, 90 healthy mixed-breed cats entered the study between 7 and 17 years of age, and continued in the study for the remainder of their life.
The cats were divided into three groups, each fed different diets:
1. Control
2. Control + antioxidants including vitamin E
3. Control + proprietary blend of antioxidants, essential fatty acids and prebiotic
The blend of nutrients was scientifically proven to increase life span by an average of one year.
