common ingredients and supplements that we use to make

Garlic
Pearls
Garlic is ideal for any respiratory
disorders and to help prevent both internal
and external parasites such as worms

of natural bacteria so is vital for

Devils
Claw
A mixture of glucosamine sulphate and
devils claw, both renowned in the treatment
of arthritis. Antiflamatary and mild
analgesic action combines with the ability
to repair tissues. Tests carried out
in Germany (one of the biggest users
of devils claw) have shown the analgesic
and anti-inflammatory effects to be
comparable to cortisone and phenylbutazone,
without the attending side effect. Further
tests also suggest that the plant is
also diuretic and stimulant to the liver
and because of its bitters content it
can help to encourage appetite. |
