Taurine 500mg Capsules for Cats - Pot of 60
226026
Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats, which means they cannot synthesise it within their bodies in adequate amounts and must therefore get it from their diet.
Cats primarily consume taurine through a meat-based diet, as it is found in animal tissues. Many commercial cat foods, therefore, include taurine supplementation to ensure that cats receive the necessary amount. This is particularly important in dry cat foods, which are heat-processed, a procedure that can significantly reduce the amount of taurine available in the food.
These 500mg Taurine Capsules contain pure, free-form Taurine that is ready to be absorbed by the body. Pot of 60 Taurine Capsules for Cats

Description
500mg Taurine Capsules for Cats - Helps cats maintain healthy heart function and good vision
Taurine is an essential dietary requirement for feline health, since cats cannot synthesise the compound. Give your cat the taurine they need with this easy to administer supplement. The building blocks of all proteins, amino acids are important in many aspects of your feline friend's life. Taurine is one that can only be found in animal-based proteins and is a good source for vision and heart muscle health. Give your cat the best chance at good health by adding it to their daily diet.
Taurine is critical for many physiological processes in cats, including:
-
Heart health: Taurine deficiency can lead to a specific form of heart disease in cats known as dilated cardiomyopathy.
-
Vision: It is crucial for the maintenance of normal retinal function. Without taurine, the cat's retina slowly degenerates, leading to irreversible blindness.
-
Reproduction and fetal development: Taurine is vital for normal reproduction in female cats and for the healthy development of the fetus.
-
Digestion and bile acid conjugation: Taurine is used to form bile salts, which are important for digestion.
-
Immune system function: It plays a role in the proper function of the immune system.
The absence of taurine causes a cat's retina to slowly degenerate, causing eye problems and (eventually) irreversible blindness — a condition known as central retinal degeneration (CRD), as well as hair loss and tooth decay.
Decreased plasma taurine concentration has been demonstrated to be associated with feline dilated cardiomyopathy. Unlike CRD, the condition is reversible with Taurine supplementation.

Kaminox - Potassium & Amino Supplement For cats/dogs - 60ml
Kaminox for Cats and Dogs
60ml Kaminox is a liquid potassium supplement designed to support cats and dogs with low potassium levels, also known as hypokalaemia. It provides essential potassium along with additional vitamins and amino acids that contribute to overall health and wellbeing. Potassium is a vital mineral required for normal muscle function, nerve transmission, and cellular activity. A deficiency can lead to weakness, lethargy, reduced appetite, and, in severe cases, life-threatening complications.
Hypokalaemia is commonly associated with kidney disease, a condition frequently seen in older cats and dogs. The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining electrolyte balance, including potassium levels. When kidney function declines, potassium loss can occur, leading to muscle weakness and other health issues. Kaminox helps replenish potassium levels and provides additional nutritional support to maintain proper organ function.

How Multiplex Vitamin Supplement Works
Multiplex Vitamin Supplement contains a blend of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins that contribute to the normal functioning of various systems in your pet’s body. These nutrients play key roles in numerous metabolic and physiological processes.
Water-soluble vitamins such as B-complex and vitamin C are not stored in the body and must be replenished regularly. They assist with energy metabolism, nerve function, immune response, and the health of skin and coat. The B-complex group includes important vitamins such as thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12). These nutrients support neurological function, red blood cell formation, and digestive health.
Fat-soluble vitamins in the supplement, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, are absorbed along with dietary fat and stored in the liver and fatty tissues. Vitamin A contributes to vision, skin maintenance, and immune support. Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption, contributing to bone and dental health. Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage, while vitamin K supports normal blood clotting and bone metabolism.
By providing these essential vitamins in one balanced formulation, Multiplex helps ensure that your pet receives consistent nutritional support to promote long-term health.
