What is the benefit of Glutamine and Taurine?
In animal research, Glutamine has shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and has the ability to repair the gut by maintaining the structural integrity of the bowels. Glutamine is an important component of muscle protein — and helps repair muscle. It also helps maintain cell volume and hydration, which quickens wound healing. Often, with GI cases, there is damage to the intestinal track from vomiting/diarrhea, glutamine helps repair this damage.

Taurine is an essential amino acid that is very beneficial for cats. Cats do not produce Taurine on their own so it is critical they receive Taurine in their diet. Taurine is a key component that helps contribute to antioxidant defenses.
