Animal vs. Plant-Based Pet Enzymes: Why Choose Total-Zymes®?
Share
When it comes to your pet’s health, digestion is key. Total-Zymes® offers a superior alternative to pancreatic and animal-based enzymes with its 100% vegetarian formula. Unlike animal-derived enzymes, Total-Zymes® uses 16 plant-based digestive enzymes paired with the exclusive Live Enzyme Activated Delivery System (L.E.A.D.S.®) to ensure maximum nutrient absorption and overall pet wellness.
The Risks of Pancreatic and Animal-Based Enzymes
Pancreatic enzymes, often sourced from animals like pigs, come with potential side effects. A typical warning label for pancreatin-based products includes:
- Side Effects: High doses may cause diarrhea, cramping, or vomiting.
- Allergic Reactions: Symptoms like facial swelling, hives, scratching, or even severe reactions such as shock or coma.
- Skin Irritation: The powder can irritate or burn skin on contact.
- Precautions: Not suitable for pets allergic to pork products.
Additionally, pancreatic enzymes:
- Are limited to a narrow pH range and are 80% destroyed in the stomach.
- Lack sucrase, maltase, or lactase activity, meaning they don’t break down fibers, sugars, or carbohydrates effectively.
- Only start working 30 minutes after food reaches the stomach, delaying digestion.
Why risk these issues when you can choose a safer, more effective solution?
