Functional Ingredients
Salmon oil: source of Omega 3 which reduces the risk of skin dehydration (improves the epidermal barrier, the appearance and feel of the skin and coat). Salmon oil also provides an anti-inflammatory effect.
Vitamin E: its antioxidant effect has a twofold action: it protects the skin and Omega 3 fatty acids from oxidative damage such as pollution, oxygen, stress, inflammation…
Biotin: it plays a role in lipid metabolism and in the skin keratinisation process. Its deficiency is associated with a dull coat, brittle hair, increased hair loss, dandruff, itching and dermatitis.
Zinc*: it is an essential mineral for skin health (also for the immune, reproductive and thyroid systems). Its deficiency is linked to hair loss, scaling, seborrhoea, dermatitis… It helps keep skin and hair hydrated.
*There is a hereditary disease (zinc deficiency syndrome) in Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies and Bull Terriers. They then show skin problems a few months after birth and require specific veterinary treatment with zinc supplementation. It is also found in Great Danes, Saint Bernards, Dobermans, Beagles and German shepherds.
Warning: excess zinc can cause poisoning (importance of not freely giving mineral supplements)
