• High quality chicken meal, free of hormones and steroids, utilizing cage-free chickens from New Zealand. 
• High quality fish meal (catfish) preserved with natural mixed Tocopherols 
• Whole egg(1) with 100% biological protein value and highly digestible (containing all the essential protein  
•    building blocks) 
• Whole fruits and vegetables for their phytonutrient ingredients including antioxidants and phytosterols 
• Five types of probiotics guaranteed to be viable after cooking.  The minimum guarantee for lactobacillus  
•    organisms is 1.0 x 108 C.F.U., ensuring a healthy intestinal flora which supports: 
• Production of food for healthy enterocytes 
• Increased nutrient absorption 
• Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT) located in the intestine, which communicates with systemic  immune systems
• Moderately fermentable fiber, beet pulp which supports: 
  
  • Normal intestinal movement; peristalsis and segmentation 
• Production of food for healthy enterocytes 
• Normal fecal output 
• Increased nutrient absorption
• Grape Seed Extract (ActivinTM), with oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and other phytonutrients extracted using a patented water extraction method rather than chemicals.  With over 60 scientific papers and presentations, ActivinTM has been demonstrated to be more potent than other OPCs and vitamins C, E, or Beta-carotene.  It is proven to be bioavailable, a potent free radical scavenger, and inhibits free radical-induced cellular damage.  It has been granted FDA GRAS status which supports   its  safety;  i.e. a non-toxic even at high levels.
• Proteinated (chelated) minerals for increased absorption
