Not all flaxseed is created equal. When raw or simply ground, a large portion of its valuable nutrients remains unused—antinutritional factors block digestion, and the omega-3 fatty acids oxidize quickly. We process our flaxseed using a patented high-pressure cooking and extrusion process. This extraction process is backed by over 400 scientific studies.

The process destroys the anti-nutritional factors in the seed, activates the body’s own enzymes, and completely breaks down the seed. Heat, pressure, and shear force are calibrated so that the omega-3 fatty acids are released slowly and continuously along the digestive tract—not all at once, as is the case with pure flaxseed oil.

For your dog, this means high-quality plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) for healthy skin, coat, joints, and immune system. Soluble fiber nourishes the microbiome and regulates intestinal transit. Plant-based proteins and B vitamins get where they’re needed. Each batch is tested via NIR analysis for omega-3 content, protein, and fat content.

Bran is the outer layer of the grain, which is rich in fiber. In our flaxseed complex, it serves two purposes at once.

First, it provides additional insoluble dietary fiber, which regulates bowel transit and promotes regular, healthy digestion. Second, it acts as a technological carrier in the cook-extrusion process and ensures a homogeneous, even distribution of the valuable flax components in every batch.

For your dog, this means a balanced fiber blend that keeps the intestines moving, promotes a feeling of fullness, and ensures that omega-3 fatty acids are absorbed evenly throughout the digestive tract.

Lignans are secondary plant compounds found in high concentrations in flaxseed. They are classified as phytoestrogens and are powerful plant-based antioxidants.

We specifically use lignans because they do two things that other antioxidants cannot. They balance hormone levels—which is particularly important for older dogs whose adrenal function is declining—and they inhibit an enzyme (3-beta-HSD) involved in cortisol production. In chronically stressed dogs, elevated cortisol levels often show up in the coat: it becomes dull, flaky, and prone to increased hair loss.

For your dog, this means: protecting the body’s cells from oxidative stress, supporting a balanced hormonal system, and helping to prevent stress from showing up in the coat and skin.

Hydrolysis means that the yeast cell wall is broken down enzymatically. The substances released in this process are highly bioavailable—B-complex vitamins, free amino acids, minerals, and, above all, the valuable β-glucans and mannans from the yeast cell wall.

We use the hydrolyzed form because it acts more quickly than whole yeast cells. β-glucans stimulate the activity of immune cells in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and improve the absorption of nutrients through the intestinal wall. Mannans bind to unwanted bacteria, thereby supporting a stable gut flora.

For your dog, this means: a targeted supply of B vitamins (important for the nervous system and energy metabolism), prebiotic support for beneficial gut bacteria, and a direct boost to the natural immune system.

Brewer's yeast is a byproduct of beer production and is subsequently inactivated and spray-dried. The result is a protein-rich yeast containing about 44% highly digestible protein, essential amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine), and a particularly high concentration of B vitamins—including B1, B2, B12, folic acid, and biotin.

We combine brewer's yeast with hydrolyzed yeast because the two complement each other. While hydrolyzed yeast takes effect particularly quickly, brewer's yeast provides the complete amino acid profile and a concentrated supply of B vitamins. Biotin is particularly important for maintaining healthy skin and a healthy coat.

For your dog, this means: a high-quality plant-based source of protein, B vitamins to support energy metabolism and the nervous system, and biotin for healthy skin and coat. The brewer’s yeast is GMO-free and comes from a certified Swiss supply chain.

Our mushroom extract comes from the white button mushroom—one of the most extensively studied edible mushrooms in the world. It provides a rich source of polyphenols, β-glucans, mannans, and amino acids, all of which have GRAS status for human consumption in Japan and several European countries.

We use the mushroom extract because it acts through three independent biological mechanisms. First, it stimulates the body’s own production of antimicrobial peptides in the gut (via the Paneth cells)—which reduces the population of putrefactive gut bacteria that produce foul-smelling metabolites such as ammonia, indole, and mercaptans. Second, its polyphenols physically encapsulate odor-causing molecules, removing them from the odor cycle. Third, reactive quinone groups chemically bind the free odor compounds—preventing them from evaporating.

These three mechanisms explain why our mushroom extract not only freshens breath but also reduces body odor and fecal odor—by addressing the biological cause, not by masking the odors with flavors. Clinical studies document measurable effects after four weeks of continuous use. At the same time, the mushroom β-glucans have a prebiotic effect and boost the activity of immune cells.

For your dog, this means fresher breath, less body odor and gas, a healthier microbiome, and additional antioxidants (ergothioneine)—in a way that is selective and does not interfere with nutrient absorption, unlike activated charcoal, for example.

Our source of minerals is natural calcium carbonate derived from Swiss limestone, finely ground and certified in accordance with the SN EN 12620 and SN EN 13139 standards. Calcium carbonate provides approximately 38% calcium and a small amount of magnesium.

We use a natural mineral source instead of synthetic mineral blends because we can document the origin of every ingredient. The manufacturer is based in Switzerland, and the material is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FSSC 22000.

For your dog, this means a precisely measured dose of calcium that supports bone health, stabilizes the pH level in the intestines, and normalizes the function of digestive enzymes. Calcium also plays a role in the synthesis of digestive enzymes such as amylase and lipase.
