Supports liver function

When an ingredient in dog food is described as "supports liver function", it means that the ingredient in question contains ingredients that can help promote the health and normal function of the liver in dogs. The liver plays a central role in the body's metabolism by helping to process nutrients, detoxify and store vitamins and minerals. Ingredients that support liver function may contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals or specific plant extracts that help protect liver cells from damage, support liver regeneration and/or promote detoxification processes.

Some examples of such ingredients include:

  • Milk thistle: Known for its active ingredient silymarin, which has antioxidant properties and can support liver cell regeneration.
  • L-carnitine: An amino acid that plays a role in energy production in the liver and can support liver function.
  • B-complex vitamins: Important for the metabolism and can help support the liver in its detoxification function.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Can have an anti-inflammatory effect and thus contribute to liver health.
