Protexin Cystophan Sprinkle Capsules for Cats

Cystophan is manufactured by Protexin and is used to treat bladder disease in cats. Cystophan contains glucosamine, hyaluronic acid and tryptophan in forms which are believed to be particularly helpful in protecting the bladder wall. It also has a tempting chicken flavour to make it palatable to cats.

Cystophan capsules can be given whole, or opened and sprinkled onto food. They should be given at a rate of one capsule per day, for as long as required. (Larger cats should receive two capsules daily until symptoms are controlled)

Protexin Cystophan helps to support and preserve the protective glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer of the bladder. It also contains L-tryptophan which is used in the brain to make serotonin, the happy hormone. A healthy urinary tract is important for a healthy cat. Interactions between several body systems including the bladder and nervous systems can affect your cat's urinary health.

External influences in today's busy environment can also affect your cat's state of mind. Normal healthy bladders have a layer of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) coating them. This layer protects the bladder from direct exposure to urine. Urine activates sensory nerve fibres which the brain perceives as uncomfortable.

Cystophan contains:

N-acetyl D-glucosamine - acts as a building block for GAGs.

Hyaluronic acid - one of the main components of -the protective GAG layer that lines the bladder.

L converted to serotonin, the happy hormone.

Artificial chicken flavouring - to improve palatability and compliance.

Cystophan is the first nutritional supplement to provide this combination of ingredients. Reducing the number of products your cat needs to take.
