The oxidative stress induced by free radicals on proteins, lipids and nucleic acids is less and less inhibited by the body's own anti-oxidants as we age, and their levels drop sharply.
SOFCANIS Félin Senior is a synergistic combination of antioxidant nutrients.
Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that facilitates energy production by the mitochondria: it plays an essential role in the proper functioning of heart tissue and the maintenance of cognitive capacity. It is a natural substance synthesized by the body, whose concentration declines with age, hence the importance of oral supplementation to boost serum and tissue levels.
Coenzyme Q10 also prolongs vitamin E's own antioxidant effect on lipids and its stimulating effect on immune function.
Vitamin E's essential action is to protect the phospholipids in cell membranes from peroxidation: it plays an active role in membrane structure, forming complexes that stabilize it and prevent destructive chain reactions.
Selenium is necessary for the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which eliminates peroxides. It works in close collaboration with vitamin E.
Vitamin C, another major antioxidant, regenerates vitamin E: it is not stored in the body, hence the need for a daily intake.
Taurine, whose exogenous intake is particularly necessary as cats synthesize too little of it for their needs, combines its recognized positive effect on cardiac function with that of coenzyme Q10.
Potassium gluconate compensates for potassium loss induced by inadequate renal function, which vitamin E helps to alleviate.
