Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Care

Description

What makes the Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Care recipe so unique?

The development and formulation of the Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Care recipe has centred around the ‘Power of Peptides’ using the latest Freshtrusion HDP technology.

Freshtrusion HDP (Highly Digestible Protein) is the unique process of cooking fresh meat and fish ingredients with a natural enzyme, which digests (hydrolyses) the protein into a mixture of peptides and free amino acids.

This increases the digestibility and bioavailability of the protein, improves palatability, and reduces the allergenic potential of the protein, through what we like to refer it as the Goldilocks Principle:

The Goldilocks Principle

Instinctively, it would be assumed that intact protein would be best for a dog to digest as it contains all the nutritional elements together. Similarly, individual amino acids, broken down as small as possible, might be considered to be much easier to absorb. However, it has been proven in research studies that the ideal digestibility and absorption rates occur in small-chain peptides (≤ 3kDa). We like to refer to this as the ‘Goldilocks principle’.

The Power of Peptides for Digestive Health

• Increases the digestibility and bioavailability of the protein
• Improves the palatability of the recipe
• Ensures an ideal supply of amino acid building blocks to support the renewal of intestinal epithelial cells
• Helps maintain effective intestinal barrier function by increasing tight junction protein levels
• Reduces the allergenic potential of the protein to aid sensitive digestion

In addition to hydrolysed protein, the Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Health recipe includes an added postbiotic that has been shown to have beneficial effects on digestive health and immune function in dogs.
