Helping preserve good heart tonicity Preventing any taurine deficiency Taurine is an amino acid normally produced by the dog, but synthesis may be limited sometimes. It is essential to heart muscle contractility. Several publications have shown the benefit of a taurine supplement when a dog fails to synthesise enough or fails to use it properly (Alroy et al, 2000; Sanderson et al, 2001; Fascetti et al, 2003). Rottweiler 26 contains 0.26% taurine, which corresponds to an ingested average of 1500 mg per day for a 45kg dog whose activity level is normal. Feeding a complete food rich in taurine ensures regular and cost effective taurine intake. L-carnitine to help the heart find energy Role of L-carnitine in the production of energy by the cells exterior of the mitochondrion fatty acids carnitine L-carnitine is produced in the dog’s liver and kidneys from two amino acids – lysine and methionine – although production may sometimes be insufficient. 24 energy La L-carnitine* is a substance synthesised by the body the main purpose of which is to facilitate transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria where it is used to produce energy in the cells. A study among dogs suffering from heart failure shows that the L-carnitine concentration in the myocardium is often reduced (Pierpont et al, 1993). The higher the L-carnitine dose (Rottweiler 26 contains 700 mg/kg) and the earlier it is administered in the dog’s life, the more beneficial it is.
Helping heart cells neutralise free radicals through the incorporation of a patented antioxidant complex The main antioxidants in Rottweiler 26 are: - Lycopene from tomatoes: a carotenoid pigment that helps protect cell DNA - Taurine: in addition to its impact on heart contractility, it also has antioxidant properties - Polyphenols from green tea and grapes: intake of polyphenols (flavanols) is beneficial to support cardiovascular health (Urquiaga and Leighton, 1999) - La lutéine* neutralises free radicals and protects the health of the lipid membranes - Vitamin E: as the disease develops dogs produce more oxidants and their level of vitamin E decreases (Freeman et al, 1999) - Vitamin C: promotes the regeneration of vitamin E. Helping support normal heart rhythm through inclusion of EPA/DHA 1. Interior of the nucleus (DNA) 2. Mitochondrial membrane 3. Lysosomes 4. Cell membrane 5. Endoplasmic reticulum 6. Golgi apparatus Antioxidant action sites Dogs with cardiac disease have lower plasma EPA and DHA levels (Freeman et al, 1998; Rush et al, 2000). Some heart problems are said to increase the use of omega 3 fatty acids, so an EPA/DHA supplement is recommended for Rottweilers to ensure normal levels are maintained. When the DHA concentration in the myocardium is high, normal rhythm can be maintained (Smith et al, 2007). 25 Polyphenols Vitamin C Vitamin E Lutein Taurine Un apport très diversifié d’antioxydants agissant en synergie permet de mieux protéger les différents points sensibles de la cellule et d’optimiser la protection contre l’oxydation.
