DESCRIPTION:

• The low content of purine proteins (eg, wheat and egg flour), associated with the production of alkaline urine, helps to reduce the risk of urate stones.


• The combination of moderate high-quality protein and low sodium levels contributes to the decrease in cystine stone formation.


• The high levels of biotin, niacin and pantothenic acid, associated with the zinc-linoleic acid complex, help to reduce transepidermal water loss and reinforce the skin's barrier function.


• The synergistic complex of antioxidants (vitamins E and C, taurine, lutein) prevents the degradation of cellular DNA, strengthens the immune system and neutralizes free radicals whose negative effects increase with age.

• Rice, corn flour, wheat flour, dehydrated egg, animal fats, wheat gluten, minerals, corn gluten, vegetable fibres, fish oil, soy oil, fructo-oligosaccharides, borage oil, flower extract Tagette (source of lutein).
