Camu Camu Extract Joint Teeth & Eye Support* The Petz Kitchen - Organic Human Grade Ingredients For Home Prepared Meals & Treats

PETZ KITCHEN™ CAMU CAMU is a whole food, organic extract produced from a low-growing shrub native to the Amazon rainforests and Amazon river basins of Peru, which is often harvested via canoe along the river banks. Once harvested, the fruit is slow-dried and gently milled at low temperatures so as to retain its premium antioxidant, nutritional and healthy, natural phytochemical content.  

CAMU CAMU whole food, human grade extract has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a premium antioxidant, super food, water soluble and fat soluble super berry plus super vitamin and super mineral nutritional powerhouse, which may help your pet's body manage a variety of critical functions, including to potentially help stimulate collagen production due to its strongly antioxidant proanthocyanins, anthocyanins, flavonoid and glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) content, which may help build bone mass, bone strength, bone mineral density, cartilage, joints and joint health, muscles, connective tissues, blood vessels, teeth and eye tissue health. 

TOP FIVE REASONS TO USE CAMU CAMU FOR YOUR PET

1. Nutritional: Antioxidant, super food, super fruit, vitamin, mineral, carotenoids, amino acid & adaptogen power house
2. 2. Bones, Tissues, Teeth, Eyes: May help promote collagen production which is the framework of  your pet's bones, teeth, eyes, connective tissues and joints and may help regenerate up to 30% of bone and tissue content when loss has occurred 
3. Antioxidant: As one of the strongest antioxidant and free radical scavenging natural plants on the planet, it may help build your pet's defense system against viruses, bacteria, allergens, pathogens, microbes, colds and more
4. Adaptogen: May help carry out the "3 R Function" - may help read or identify dysfunction, may help repair deficiency phytochemically and nutritionally and may help restore balance back to the body
5. Anti-Aging: May be an important disease preventative and has been studied for its anti-aging and potential longevity promoting nutritional and phytochemical benefits 

CAMU CAMU contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and C, fatty acids, selenium, calcium, protein, thiamin, bioflavonoids, plus mixed carotenoids (including lutein, astaxanthin and zeaxanthin); resveratrol, proanthocyanins, glycosaminoglycans, glucose, potassium, phosphorous, iron, plus the amino acids serine, valine and leucine; co-factor enzymes, terpenes alpha-pinene and d-limonene and flavonoids, which have been attributed with stimulating up to 30% of cartilage when loss has occurred and its natural phytochemical content may combine synergistically to help promote maximum utilization and absorption of nutrients in the animal body, making it an ideal health boosting addition to all life stage diets. 

The ascorbic acid found in CAMU CAMU may help stimulate white blood cell production, which significantly boosts the immune system, and is also a key component in all types of collagen production, which helps repair and develop cells, tissues, and organs. How important is this process? 

Collagen production is the primary building material of bones, ligament, tendons and tissues of your pet's bones. Collagen forms the rods that give actual structure and strength to every bone in your pet's body, which is required to sustain and nourish the health and strength of your pet's skeletal structure over its lifetime. Collagen production can become even more important in cases of arthritis, bone loss and joint diseases, such as Intervertebral Disk Disease and Degenerative Joint Disease.

In traditional medical systems, CAMU CAMU has been studied for its strong antioxidant plant and fruit actions, its natural anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and skin-reparative phytochemical content, which may help slow down aging and help promote tissue regeneration. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional  medical system)

CAMU CAMU's natural phytochemical content may be instrumental in helping to build all types of collagen, including:

Type I: The most common form of collagen, found in the GI tract; may help build bones, help heal wounds and may help maintain skin elasticity.

Type II: Related to helping build cartilage found in connective tissues, especially important in cases of age related joint pain and joint decline caused by arthritis.

Type III: Related to the tiny fibers that comprise organs, skin, blood vessels and heart tissues; may help provide tensile elasticity to skin and tissues. A deficiency of Type II collages has been attributed with cardiovascular conditions.

Type V: Comprises the many tiny fibers of collagen itself, found in hair follicles, cell surfaces and placenta tissues.

Type X: Collagen involved in direct formation of bones and articular cartilage and may be important in helping repair synovial joints and damage to bones, including breaks and strains. 

The natural plant chemistry of CAMU CAMU may also potentially help stimulate cells tasked with bone formation and may potentially help limit bone resorption. As a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-histamine, CAMU CAMU may help build the body’s defense against infections, pathogens and allergen triggers and its anti-aging and skin-reparative phytochemical content may help slow down aging and help promote tissue regeneration. 

CAMU CAMU may play an important role in helping support eye health due to its mixed carotenoid content including lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin, which are potent antioxidants that may help support critical connective tissues of the eye, such as the macula and retina, as well as may help nourish myelin sheath found in the Central Nervous System pathways.

Normally our dogs and cats would obtain these types of critical tissues from prey they eat in the wild. With most pets eating some form of a commercial or home-cooked diet, CAMU CAMU may help supply vital sources of connective tissue and premium nutrition missing in our pet's modern diets that simply cannot be replicated in synthesized foods.

CAMU CAMU may also help assist in reducing excessive cortisol production, which may be important related to allergies and chronic or episodic stress. It may also help stimulate serotonin production which can affect many body systems and functions, including mood and social behavior, digestion, appetite, sleep quality and memory.
