Catambra extract

What is Catambra extract and how does it work?

Catambra extract is a natural active ingredient obtained from the leaves of the catambra plant. The leaves contain various secondary plant substances that can have a number of positive effects on health. These include

• Antioxidant properties: Catambra extract can neutralize free radicals in the body and thus prevent cell damage. Free radicals are molecules that are produced by environmental influences such as UV radiation, smoke or stress and can lead to inflammation, ageing or disease.
• Immunomodulating properties: Catambra extract can strengthen and regulate the immune system. It can activate defense cells and promote the formation of antibodies. It can also inhibit inflammatory reactions and thus alleviate allergies or autoimmune diseases.
• Insect repellent: Catambra extract has a strong citrus scent that repels insects such as ticks, fleas and mosquitoes. It therefore acts as a natural repellent without irritating the skin or coat.

How can Catambra extract be used on dogs?

Catambra extract can be applied to dogs in various ways. The most common are

• As a spray: You can buy a ready-made product or make your own spray from water and a few drops of Catambra extract. The spray can be sprayed on the dog's coat or surroundings before going for a walk to protect it from insects. However, care should be taken to ensure that the dog does not lick the spray or get it in its eyes.
• As a food supplement: A few drops of Catambra extract can be added to the dog's food to support its health. However, the recommended dosage should not be exceeded. The dosage depends on the dog's weight and state of health.
• As an oil: You can also buy an oil made from Catambra extract or make your own by infusing the leaves in a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil. The oil can then be used for grooming or massage. It can also help with skin problems such as eczema or fungal infections.

What are the benefits of Catambra extract?

Catambra extract has several advantages over other methods of tick prevention:

• It is a natural product with no harmful side effects.
• It is easy to use and inexpensive.
• It not only protects against ticks, but also against other insects such as fleas or mosquitoes.
• It is odorless and leaves no stains on fur or clothing.
• It is environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

What are the disadvantages of Catambra extract?

Catambra extract also has some disadvantages that should be considered:

• It does not provide one hundred percent protection against ticks. Dogs should therefore still be checked regularly for ticks and these should be removed if necessary.
• Allergic reactions may occur in sensitive dogs. Therefore, a tolerance test should be carried out before the first application and attention should be paid to possible symptoms such as itching or reddening of the skin.
• It may interfere with the effect of other medications.
