Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.

Beta Carotene (Vitamin A Precursor)

A safe and effective way to provide the building blocks for vitamin A, which is vital for vision, appetite and growth.

Curcumin

An active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium.

​Glutamic Acid​

A natural flavour enhancer and an important nutritional support for natural gut health during times of stress.

​Omega 3 Fatty Acids​

Crucial for maintaining the natural anti-inflammatory action of the body.

Toxin Binders​

A blend of microscopic absorbent compounds that aid the natural expulsion of antagonists found in feed and the environment.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

Essential for the manufacture of collagen and a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues.

Oligosaccharides (Fructo, Galacto & Mannan) (Prebiotic)

Support the immune system by maintaining naturally high levels of macrophage activity to block harmful organisms being absorbed into the bloodstream.

Piperine Black Pepper Extract​

Piperine Black Pepper Extract is a natural nutritional addition that helps to maintain the absorption of poorly retained active nutraceuticals, i.e. curcumin.

Selenium (inc. Protected)

An important antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin E.

Vitamin C

Essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals.

Vitamin D3​

Crucial for bone development. Also important for the immune system, fertility and the release of insulin.

Vitamin E

Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.

Oatinol is a natural high quality oil based concept developed by and unique to GWF Nutrition. When incorporated into the feed it supplies the following four active nutraceuticals to:

• Maintain gut cell integrity.
• Maintain the lining of the gut.
• Support the immune system.
• Aid the absorption of active ingredients, vitamins and trace elements.

Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers

​Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.

Natural Tocotrienol Antioxidants

​Tocotrienol antioxidants are a natural form of vitamin E. They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption.

Oat Derived Beta Glucans

​Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption.

Phospholipids

​Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and have been shown to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption.

Immune Aid for Dogs is designed to support your dog's immune system at any age. As well as a comprehensive formulation of 17 active ingredients, it has been formulated with our unique Oatinol^® Delivery System™ designed to improve the absorption of nutrients through the gut wall and help block pathogens.

Immune Aid includes a toxin binder to address commonly found toxins as well as high levels of curcumin from turmeric, used for its antioxidant, anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory qualities.

A live yeast is also added to support aerobic bacteria in the gut, helping to improve the pH levels and ultimately the stability of the gut biome. This is a vital component of your dog's immune system. Finally, vitamin E, selenium and vitamin C work together within cells to remove free radicals and the damage they can cause.

Yes Immune Aid is suitable for pregnant dogs.

Although our supplements are suitable for all dogs regardless of age or exercise level,

Yes of course, if you would like a sample of one of our products please just get in touch.

Yes you can give Immune Aid for Dogs along with any of our other supplements. There may sometimes be a crossover with ingredients, but your dog will simply pass any excess amounts and the chances of side effects are very small.

However, we would advise some caution with Raw Aid for Cats & Dogs, especially if you are also giving fortified complete feeds or other multivitamin & mineral supplements.

No not usually. Thanks to Oatinol, we usually see a high rate of nutrient absorption with our supplements and therefore your animal will benefit quicker. If your dog is fussy or sensitive to changes then we would advise introducing the supplement over a period of 10 days, starting with 50% of the recommended amount and increasing this gradually..

Unless your dog has an allergy to any of the ingredients themselves, there are no known side effects from the product.

It depends on the cause of the issue. If you feel that the itchy skin is caused by a food allergy or intolerance, new research would suggest that prebiotics like the ones we use in Digestive Aid for Dogs could help to address the root of the issue.

If there is a chance that the cause is environmental or the cause is unclear, Immune Aid for Dogs is a good place to start as it will support your dog’s natural immune responses. If your dog’s skin is damaged from scratching, Omega 3 Aid for Cats & Dogs could also be used to help support skin recovery.
