Protéger can help pets maintain gut health!
Your pets tummies ♥️ Protéger!
The beneficial, living microbes (bacteria) that help with digestion are increasingly getting the credit they deserve! Probiotics are the term given to these microbes, whether they be added to food or occurring naturally within the gut.
Just as pets need good nutrition, probiotic microbe populations require good food to stay healthy. The food that probiotics ‘eat’ are called Prebiotics.
Protéger is an excellent source of prebiotic energy, allowing the probiotics to work optimally in the vital conversion of pet food to fuel — growth, disease resistance, healthy coat, strong muscles, and energy to live an active life.
Postbiotics are the natural, beneficial products (metabolites) that can come from the probiotic bacteria. Postibotics help with healthy digestion, and promote a strong immune system, even helping manage inflammation, leading to better weight management.
Protéger is beneficial in that it encourages your pet’s whole health via the gut, where 70% of the immune system is located!
From prebiotics, to muscle-building protein, fiber, and postbiotics, Protéger definitely lives up to it’s ‘protect’ namesake.
The term “Acid Binding Capacity” is just be beginning to be recognized for pet food buyers. However, nutritionists, veterinarians, and advocates for pet diets, know that low “ABC” is crucial. Specifically, the term often used is “ABC-4.”
The term stands for Low Acid Binding Capacity and it reflects an ingredient’s ability to keep pH levels at 4.0 or lower, providing a healthier environment for beneficial bacteria. When these beneficial bacteria thrive, the is rewarded with corresponding benefits — improved digestion, strong growth and according to new research, improved immunological health, too!
Protéger’s low ABC is among the lowest in protein sources. This means, a diet enhanced with Protéger fermented plant protein will not only have highly digestible protein, it’ll also contribute to overall gut health in a significant way.
Together, the combination of prebiotics, postbiotics, low ABC, plus 18 amino acids, and 7 minerals help ensure that the rich protein base of Protéger is made all-the-more nutritionally powerful for the pet.
Protéger and the “ABCs” of digestion
Fermentation is the ♥️ of Protéger’s nutritional power
Fermentation is one of nature’s oldest, most reliable, and effective food production methods. Fermentation naturally transforms raw or basic ingredients into brand new products with drastically improved characteristics.
Houdek’s Protéger begins with sustainably produced, traceably sourced, soy meal. On its own, soy has many practical uses as a food ingredient. However, Houdek’s unique fermentation process transforms and elevates soy meal into a much higher level of nutritional performance..
Houdek’s fermentation amplifies protein content, expands nutritional benefits, and even removes anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) such as “trypsin inhibitors” and mineral-robbing phytic acid!
