What are minerals and why are they important for pets?

Pets are more than just fur­ry com­pan­ions. Pets enrich our lives every day. They have long since become part of the fam­i­ly. There­fore, they deserve a bal­anced and nutri­tious diet that meets their spe­cif­ic needs, includ­ing the pro­vi­sion of minerals. 

Min­er­als are essen­tial nutri­ents that are cru­cial for numer­ous phys­i­o­log­i­cal func­tions in the organ­ism of pets. They sup­port the func­tion of organs, mus­cles, and nerves and are involved in many bio­chem­i­cal process­es, such as ener­gy metab­o­lism and pro­tein syn­the­sis. There­fore, a bal­anced intake of min­er­als through nutri­tion and tar­get­ed sup­ple­men­ta­tion is impor­tant for the health and well-being of our pets.

Which minerals are particularly important for dogs and cats?

A tar­get­ed for­ti­fi­ca­tion or sup­ple­men­ta­tion of food is a valu­able means of sup­port­ing the well-being and health of pets. It con­tributes to the opti­mal func­tion­ing of mus­cles, nerves and the entire ener­gy metab­o­lism and can help to pre­vent defi­cien­cy symp­toms and pro­mote regen­er­a­tion after phys­i­cal exertion.

Cal­ci­um and col­la­gen are espe­cial­ly vital for dogs and cats. Cal­ci­um sup­ports bone health and mus­cle func­tion, while col­la­gen type II pro­motes joint health and main­tains the elas­tic­i­ty of car­ti­lage tis­sue. The use of cal­ci­um and col­la­gen in pet food offers man­u­fac­tur­ers and prod­uct devel­op­ers the oppor­tu­ni­ty to cre­ate prod­ucts that sus­tain­ably pro­mote the health and well-being of animals.

How does MAGNESIA support the health of pets?

MAGNESIA offers a vari­ety of min­er­al com­pounds that have been spe­cial­ly devel­oped for the needs of pets. Type II col­la­gen and cal­ci­um have become increas­ing­ly rel­e­vant for joint and bone health in ani­mals. The simul­ta­ne­ous admin­is­tra­tion of col­la­gen type II and cal­ci­um can have syn­er­gis­tic effects. It is impor­tant to pay atten­tion to the dosage and bal­ance between the nutri­ents when sup­ple­ment­ing in order to avoid unde­sir­able side effects. Exces­sive cal­ci­um intake can impair joint health, while too lit­tle cal­ci­um can lim­it the effect of collagen.

Our Pet­Go® prod­uct com­bines cal­ci­um and non-dena­tured col­la­gen type II in an opti­mal bal­ance to pro­mote bone and joint health. This prod­uct is par­tic­u­lar­ly suit­able for old­er ani­mals or those with an increased activ­i­ty level.

What is PetGo® and how does it work?

Pet­Go® is an inno­v­a­tive and high­ly bioavail­able prod­uct that com­bines cal­ci­um derived from salmon and type II col­la­gen. It sup­ports joint health by reduc­ing inflam­ma­tion in the body and pro­mot­ing bone for­ma­tion. As ani­mals age, their abil­i­ty to repair joint car­ti­lage can dimin­ish, lead­ing to pain and restrict­ed move­ment. Pet­Go® helps to pro­mote inflam­ma­to­ry respons­es in the body by tar­get­ing immune tol­er­ance to the unde­na­tured type II col­la­gen in the joint. It pro­vides osteoin­duc­tive prop­er­ties to sup­port bone for­ma­tion and has a six times high­er absorp­tion com­pared to con­ven­tion­al cal­ci­um supplements.

How is PetGo® produced?

Pet­Go® is made from fish bones that come from sus­tain­able fish farm­ing in Nor­way. The raw mate­r­i­al is processed fresh and under strict hygiene and qual­i­ty cri­te­ria. The man­u­fac­tur­ing process involves sev­er­al steps, includ­ing hydrol­y­sis and the sep­a­ra­tion of cal­ci­um, to ensure a high-qual­i­ty end prod­uct. The gen­tle, low-tem­per­a­ture man­u­fac­tur­ing process pre­serves the type II col­la­gen in its nat­ur­al, unde­na­tured state.

What are the advantages of using PetGo®?

The use of Pet­Go® offers numer­ous ben­e­fits, includ­ing improved joint and bone health as well as high bioavail­abil­i­ty. Fur­ther­more, the prod­uct comes from sus­tain­abe pro­duc­tion. These prop­er­ties make Pet­Go® an excel­lent choice for sup­ple­ment­ing pet nutri­tion. For man­u­fac­tur­ers and prod­uct devel­op­ers, this means that they can offer prod­ucts that not only pro­mote ani­mal health, but also con­vince with their sus­tain­able pro­duc­tion and high efficacy.
