Key Intestinal Health Benefits of SUBACTIL™
Another product that may improve gut health and boost immunity is PRALISUR™, a natural* ingredient that contains more than 50% beta-1,3-glucans derived from dried algae. Beta-glucans are glucose polysaccharides naturally occurring in the cells of plants, cereals, and fungi. The beta-1,3-glucan sourced from algae has been shown to stimulate and activate the immune systems of animals.
Product Spotlight
PRALISUR™ by Kemin is a natural, algae-sourced ingredient designed to support immune health in dogs. Rich in highly bioavailable beta-1,3-glucans, PRALISUR helps activate the immune system at the cellular level, promoting the production of white blood cells, cytokines, and antibodies. Its small granule size and high purity make it easy to digest and absorb, offering additional benefits for digestive, skin, and coat health. As a clean-label solution backed by scientific research, PRALISUR is ideal for pet food manufacturers seeking to enhance wellness in companion animals with a trusted, natural ingredient.
