Why is a healthy gut so important for cats?

For a healthy gut

Digestive disorders are not uncommon in cats. The causes are varied and often not exactly known. Many digestive problems occur during illnesses, stress, or after antibiotic treatments. But changes in diet or feeding errors (such as cold, sugar- or fat-rich food) are also often cited as causes. As a result of these factors, the balance of the gut is disturbed. The pH value as well as the composition of the important gut flora are altered, which the organism can react to sensitively. However, a constant environment in the gut is essential for its function – the optimal utilization of food.

The gut is not only responsible for nutrient absorption and the excretion of indigestible residues. It also has a major influence on the immune system and the health of other organs. Approximately 80% of the body’s immune cells are produced in the gut. These produce antibodies that can bind and neutralize pathogens. In this defense, the gut is supported by gut bacteria. Like in humans, these microorganisms produce vitamins, essential amino acids, antibiotic substances, enzymes, hormones, and short-chain fatty acids, which among other things serve to nourish the intestinal mucosa. A healthy and balanced microflora can limit the growth of potential pathogens, strengthen the animal’s immune system, improve the absorption of vital nutrients, and increase resistance to pathogenic bacteria, toxins, and stress. This makes it clear that a healthy gut is of great importance for a cat’s well-being.

To naturally support your cat’s health and restore immune balance, NEKTON has developed a supplement — NEKTON-Biotic-Cat.

NEKTON-Biotic-Cat

NEKTON-Biotic-Cat helps stabilize the gut flora by relying solely on natural active ingredients. It contains Enterococcus faecium bacteria, which promote healthy digestion of food. The added plant components such as ground flaxseed, oat bran, psyllium husks, Jerusalem artichoke, and apple pomace are rich in fiber and gently support digestion while helping to soothe the gut. They have a prebiotic effect and serve as an important food source for beneficial gut bacteria, thereby promoting their growth.
