Total-Zymes® Plus - Large 100 tablets

Acidophilus:  Acidophilus is the most effective pro-biotic strain. Called the "sticker strain," Acidophilus has the ability to actually cling to the intestinal wall without harming it. In fact, it is best known for its ability to move un-disrupted through the stomach and into the intestines where it eats away at the bad bacteria. It is known for reducing the occurrence of constipation and diarrhea, increasing nutrient uptake (especially calcium).  

B. bifidum: Is a normal inhabitant of the intestines. Found in large numbers, the numbers of bifidobacteria decrease with age. B. bifidum helps detoxify the intestines and promote regular bowel movements.  

Bacillus coagulans: Has been added by the EFSA to their Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) list] and has been approved for veterinary purposes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine, as well as by the European Union and is listed by AAFCO for use as a direct fed microbial in livestock production. It is often used in veterinary applications, especially as a probiotic in pigs, cattle, poultry, dog and cats.  

L fermentum: is a Gram-positive species of bacterium in the genus Lactobacillus. it is a probiotic that supports the immune response, supports liver health and cholesterol levels.  

B. lactis (B. animalis):  is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium, which can be found in the large intestines of most mammals, including humans. Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium lactis were previously described as two distinct species. Presently, both are considered B. animalis with the subspecies Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies animalis and Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis. Both names B. animalis and B. lactis are still used on product labels, as this species is frequently used as a probiotic in pet products.  

B. longum: Aids in the cleansing and health of the colon and liver.  

L. brevis : is a species of lactic acid bacteria, all of which are Gram-positive, non spore forming organisms whose main metabolic pathway involves fermenting hexose sugars to produce lactic acid. L. brevis can be isolated from the food sources in inhabits, one example being kimchi. This bacteria is probiotic, and supports the immune system.  

L. casei: Is known for its ability to support a healthy immune response that is helpful in supporting a healthy urinary tract.  

L. plantarum: Can be found in naturally fermented foods. It is found in the large intestine where it helps to break down protein into usable nutrients.  

L helveticus: Is gaining also importance as health-promoting culture in probiotics. It has the potential to produce bioactive peptides or bacteriocins, and exert symbiotic effect when associated with prebiotics.  

Lactococcus lactis: Has been shown through research to produce a high amount of lactic acid, which is able to support a good gut and a normal intestinal flora.  

L. reuteri: Provides natural probiotic support for the intestines. Is a well-studied probiotic bacterium that can colonize many mammals.  

E. faecium: Provide several benefits to a pet including aiding digestion and helping to maintain a healthy mix of bacteria in the stomach (which can be helpful when switching diets or after anti-biotic treatment).  

L. Bulgaricus: Is one of several bacteria used for the production of yogurt. It is also found in other naturally fermented products.

The other ingredients:  

Pre-biotics- Inulin IQ FOS (Fructooligosaccharides)-Chickory Root is one of the best-known all natural pre-biotic,  FOS is known to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. It has been shown to stimulate growth of bifidobacteria in the colon where many issues first take root. Supplementing with FOS can greatly increase metabolic activity in the colon. Healthy colon function is vital to a properly functioning immune system.

 The only patented stabilized glutamine in the world- MGG chelate- This stabilized Glutamine re-writes the book on utilizing anabolic nitrogen molecules to help cleanse and fortify the body. Glutamine yields beneficial effects on the intestinal mucosa and is also the major metabolic fuel for the small intestine. The addition of the chelated glutamine to Total-Biotics ®  supports the stability and colonization characteristics of beneficial bacteria in the pet's intestinal tract. 

Live Enzyme Activated Delivery System® (L.E.A.D.S.®)- Like all of NWC Naturals Pet Products  Total-Biotics® contains our exclusive Live Enzyme Activated Delivery System®. It is this delivery system that guarantees assimilation and utilization of the nutrients at the cellular level. L.E.A.D.S.® (Live Enzyme Activated Delivery System®) is a proprietary system of adding a blend of select enzymes to botanical and whole-food products for the purpose of improving the release and absorption of nutrients contained in these products. 

This special blend of supplemental enzymes works to extract the nutrients from the formula in the most bioavailable form so your pet's body can use them easily and efficiently.  

Our List of  Our 16 Enzymes: 

 Protease 6.0; Is used to break down proteins to peptides. It will not digest protein to amino acids. A second enzyme is necessary for that to happen. 

 Protease 3.0; Is used to break down proteins in a different PH range. 

 Protease 4.5; Is used to break down proteins in a different PH range then the other two. 

 Peptidase; Help digest protein molecules. Four varieties of protease enzymes have been combined in this formula to compensate for higher protein diets of pets. 

 Amylase;  An enzyme that breaks down sugars and starches. Good for those hidden sugars in pet treats. And helps digest corn, potatoes, rice ect. 

 Alpha-Galactosidase;  This enzyme breaks down carbohydrates, such as vegetables, whole grains. It can help support normal gas. 

 Beta-Glucanase; This enzyme is used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically starches. 

 Diastase; Sometimes called maltase is an enzyme that is the catalyst in the hydrolysis of disaccharide maltose to the simple sugar form - glucose. 

 Lipase; Will digest lipids or fats as they are commonly called. Lipase  is critical to digest that fat in the diet that supports a healthy coat and skin. 

 Cellulase; Works on Cellulose, an indigestible fiber found in many fruits and vegetables. 

Pectinase; Breaks down fruit and vegetable pectins and and facilitates the transportation of waste.  A much needed enzyme for your pet. Your pet gets heavy metal build up just like we do,  this enzyme helps rid  your pet of theses metals. 

Phytase;  Breaks down carbohydrates, specifically phytates in plants. It can increase mineral absorption and the bio-availability of iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. A needed enzyme to help digest pet food with potatoes or carrots ect. Some companies say you do not need this very important enzyme it was put into the formula because pet foods do have carbohydrates and this enzyme helps properly digest them. 

 Hemicellulase; Is used to breakdown carbohydrates, especially polysaccharides such as hemicelluloses, which are found in plant foods.

  Bromelain; Is most notable for supporting the body as a systemic enzyme. As a natural systemic enzyme with many uses. 

 NEW! Lactase;  Helping digest, Lactose and milk sugars. Lactase is required to break down lactose (a primary sugar found in mammalian milk).  Also to help digest yogurt, milk products and cheese. 

 NEW! Glucoamylase;  Is used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically polysaccharides, simple sugars. Many new dog treats have hidden sugar.
