When should Pro-Plan's Natural Defences+ food supplement be used to boost a cat's immunity?
When a cat's natural defenses are put to the test, its body may need targeted support to continue functioning harmoniously. Stress, environmental changes, age or certain sensitive periods such as seasonal transitions can influence the internal balance and weaken the immune response. Pro-Plan Natural Defences+ is part of this gentle preventive approach, providing specific nutrients to support the cat's natural protective mechanisms.
This dietary supplement acts first and foremost from within, supporting the digestive ecosystem, the true command center of immunity. The intestinal microbiota can be compared to a garden: when well tended, it allows "good bacteria" to thrive and limit the scope for imbalances. Thanks to its postbiotics, the formula helps to support intestinal balance, promoting a more stable ground for natural defenses.
One of the major benefits of this approach lies in its support for the physiological production of antibodies. These proteins play a key role in the recognition and neutralization of undesirable elements. By supporting this process, Pro-Plan Natural Defences+ helps to strengthen the body's natural defenses, without forcing it to do so, but by restoring optimum vitality and stimulating its own capacities.
The presence of yeast extracts, naturally rich in beta-glucans, acts as a signal for immune cells. These compounds in this dietary supplement can be compared to messengers that "wake up" the vigilance of the defense system, helping to promote the body's resistance to common external aggressions.
This supplement can thus be integrated into a daily routine, whatever the type of diet, to accompany adult cats in need of overall support. In synergy with Vetoform Probiotiques, it can further strengthen the action on intestinal flora, creating a more robust digestive and immune system.
