Apr 23, 2021

1. Reduce ammonia emissions

If the pet's intestines produce too much ammonia during the process of digesting food, it means that the protein in the food is not fully absorbed. This intestinal ammonia will destroy the mucosal epithelial tissue, affect the physiological metabolism of mucosal cells, and destroy the normal composition of the intestinal flora. , To break the intestinal acid-base balance, reduce the activity of digestive enzymes in the intestine, and ultimately affect the digestion and absorption of food. In other words, what you eat cannot be absorbed and wasted. At the same time, a large amount of ammonia gas will be produced, which will damage the health of pets.

2. Regulate the intestinal microenvironment

The intestine is a very complex environment. Nutrition, physical and chemical environment and microbial flora are in a dynamic balance to ensure effective digestion and absorption of nutrients. Once the balance is broken, animals will have various digestive problems. Yucca extract reduces the content of ammonia in the intestine, maintains the acid-base balance of the intestine, provides suitable pH conditions for the highest activity of digestive enzymes, and promotes the digestion and absorption of nutrients.

3. Antibacterial effect

According to Chinese application pharmacology records: Yucca saponins have broad-spectrum antibacterial effects against hemolytic Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, pneumococcus, dysentery bacillus, typhoid bacillus, paratyphoid bacillus, Vibrio cholerae, Escherichia coli , Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus pertussis and common pathogenic skin fungi all have strong inhibitory properties.
