Peptide+ Skin and Coat

Description

What makes the Peptide+ Skin and Coat Diet so unique?

The development and formulation of the Peptide+ Skin and Coat recipe have 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 in the presence of 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 to 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 as one. 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 the Skin and Coat

• Increases the digestibility and bioavailability of the protein
• Improves the palatability of the recipe
• Ensures an ideal supply of amino acid building blocks required for the synthesis of key proteins such as keratin (in hair shafts and skin epidermis), collagen and elastin (in skin dermis layer)
• It helps to maintain and repair the skin and its barrier function.
• Increases dermis thickness, skin hydration, elasticity, firmness and structure
• Reduces the allergenic potential of the protein to help reduce food-related allergic reactions

In addition to the inclusion of hydrolysed protein, the Peptide+ Skin & Coat diet includes a blend of oils to help deliver optimal levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that have been shown to have beneficial effects on skin and coat health in dogs.
