Dog Allergy--BioAllergy Plus
Dog Allergy Formula BioAllergy™ is a complex allergy formula that can be the one product that helps your dog's allergies. We all know how tough it is to resolve skin problems and allergies in dogs. Dogs will scratch, chew their paws and itch resulting in hot spots and infection. This BioAllergy formula works best if used in conjunction with Amazing Omegas and Ask Ariel's yeast protocol (Mycozyme + Probiotic--if your dog gets ear infections) . In some cases, it is the one product that finally stops the dog from itching. Unfortunately with tough dog skin problems, the owners need to try several products to find just the right formula that will work best for their dog. BioAllergy should definitely be included in your dog's allergy protocol. We have seen some amazing results. This formula for allergy in dogs was developed without the typical sedating or stimulating antihistamine ingredients. In BioAllergy™, botanicals and enzymes are used instead. In all allergic processes, tissue anchored white blood cells, known as ‘mast cells’, become sensitized and produce inflammatory compounds such as histamines and leukotrienes. Helps the body reduce sensitivity to airborne or contact substances that produce an allergic reaction.
Please note: This product must be given either 1/2 hour before or inbetween meals.

Citrus bioflavanoids and Urtica dioica are examples of two botanicals/plant flavonoids used to stabilize the mast cell, reducing its sensitivity to allergic triggers.
Bromelain enzyme is another botanical anti-allergic ingredient included. Bromelain performs a number of useful functions. It is a natural anti-histamine. As a proteolytic enzyme it actually digests the histamine molecule. It is anti-inflammatory, and it is a mucolytic. It’s mucolytic actions allow it to digest and thin mucus, so that proper drainage can occur. This is especially important for closed spaces, such as the middle and inner ear, eustachion tubes, sinuses, and airways of the lungs. Additional anti-inflammatory enzymes such as protease, lipase, amylase, and cellulase also support bromelain.
Rice Bran is added to this formula for its sterol/sterolin content. These nutrients based on beta sitosterol and beta sitosterol glucoside act to balance T Helper 1 and T Helper 2 cell function. These T cells are shown to be imbalanced with excessive activity of the T Helper 2 cell fraction in allergy individuals. With overactive T Helper 2 cells the B Lymphocyte/Plasma cells are stimulated into excessive anti-body production. Excessive activity of T Helper 2 cells also leads to excessive inflammatory mediator output (interleukins, tumor necrosis factor alpha, etc.).
Turmeric, Ginger, Licorice, and Feverfew are additional anti-inflammatories also included. These plants have known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Curcuma longa (Turmeric) exhibits direct anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting leukotriene formation, inhibiting platelet aggregation, and promotion of fibrinolysis. Curcumin has been compared to an anti-inflammatory (without the negative side effects), being as effective in acute inflammation and approximately half as effective in chronic inflammation.
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) inhibits cytotoxic and chemotactic secretion of polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Feverfew also appears to inhibit the production of prostaglandins PGE2, thromboxane, and leukotrienes.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) through its glycyrrhizin content is capable of extending the life of endogenous cortisol. This is its major benefit in reducing inflammation. Licorice also inhibits prostaglandin synthesis similar to cortisol by inhibiting phospholipase A2 and acting to reduce inflammation.
Zingiber officinale (Ginger) is thought to inhibit many inflammatory mediators (cyclo-oxygenase, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, etc.). Ginger has been used traditionally for inflammatory and painful conditions.
Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) has long been used to reduce allergic symptoms. In BioAllergy™. ascorbyl palmitate was chosen due to its fat-soluble nature. This allows Vitamin C to be retained in the tissues for a longer period of time, thus enhancing its tissue stabilizing and anti-inflammatory properties.
BioAllergy™ responds to allergic symptoms without drowsiness, anxiety, insomnia, rapid heart rates, irregular heart rhythm, or benign prostate enlargement.
Precautions: BioAllergy™ should not be used by pets with the following conditions:
Peptic ulcer--flavanoids can be irritating to the tummy
Diabetes or High Blood Pressure---If you are giving your pet other products that contain licorice, use caution as high levels of licorice can affect these conditions.. |
