Peanut Butter - Gut Defense
Gut Defense Peanut Butter Dog Treat
If your pooch suffers from indigestion, hypersalivation, diarrhea, periodic vomiting, or has been diagnosed with IBD, then farmer Pete's Gut Defense is for them.
Gut Defense has L-Glutamine which is an amino acid that has been shown to be beneficial to dogs. It can help support a healthy immune system and reduce stress on gastrointestinal and skin tissues, which can make it helpful during times of fasting or illness.
IBD or inflammatory bowel disease is a disorder causing intestinal pain, swelling, and discomfort that may lead to long-term inflammation of the gut. Many dogs, for a variety of reasons, battle IBD either periodically or chronically. In worst-case scenarios, your canine friend may suffer severe pain that would truly break your heart.
L-glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps support the immune system, digestion, and muscle recovery. This supplement can also help with skin and connective tissue health. Glutamine supplements have been shown to help dogs who are stressed out or sick, as well as those who are going through chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Glutamine is also a building block for the neurotransmitter GABA, which slows down the activity of neurons so they can communicate with each other more effectively.
What does L-glutamine do?
A few of L-glutamine’s functions include:
- Helps the intestinal lining (gut) absorb nutrients from food
- Supports immune function
- Promotes muscle growth and repair
- Helps increase energy levels and decrease fatigue
- Supports the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body's tissues and organs
