Cymbiotika branches into pet probiotics, immune boosters and joint health supplements

26 Apr 2024 --- US-based health and wellness brand Cymbiotika introduces its first pet nutrition range featuring supplements for gut health, calm, joint health, allergies and immunity. The supplements are formulated with premium ingredients such as probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, L-theanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, L-tryptophan, methylsulfonylmethane, colostrum, wild Alaskan salmon oil, cod liver oil and an array of botanicals to support optimal health.

Gut health is trending in the pet nutrition space and Cymbiotika’s Probiotic+ is designed to support digestive well-being with a patented prebiotic Microbuild, a 7-strain probiotic with two billion colony-forming units and a heat-stable postbiotic Tynagen that synergistically facilitate a healthy gut environment. 

Microbuild increases the microbial diversity in the gut, boosting the pet’s natural defenses. Probiotic+ is enriched with a complete enzyme blend that breaks down fats, carbohydrates and proteins to facilitate nutrient absorption. A greens blend provides nutrition, antioxidants and minerals to deodorize the digestive tract, and organic herbs soothe the digestive organs.

One useful tool on the market is the One Health Microbiome Resource created by Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to advance research into the microbiome of pets. The database is the first unified platform dedicated to studying the microbiome.

Cultivating a peaceful lifestyle 
Probiotic+, Calm, Hip & Joint, and Allergy & Immune Health are Cymbiotika’s pet supplements. Calm is Cymbiotika’s solution to enhance tranquility and serenity in pets facing various mental health challenges. These are brought on by environmental stressors that cause anxiety. 

“We are pleased to expand our product offerings to include supplements specifically designed for pets,” says Shahab Elmi, CEO and co-founder of Cymbiotika. “By providing pets with the same high-quality supplements you trust for yourself, you can ensure they live their best, healthiest life by your side.”

Calm contains the company’s L-theanine ingredient, Suntheanine, to relieve stress, chamomile and valerian to improve sleep quality, facilitate muscle relaxation, calm the digestive system and soothe physical discomfort. The product also comprises gamma-aminobutyric acid, a neurotransmitter that is a natural calming agent soothing the central nervous system and regulates “nerve excitability.”

The formula infuses L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid for protein synthesis and neurotransmitter production, especially serotonin. It enhances sleep quality and mood and reduces anxiety in pets.The pet range prioritizes gut health, calm, immunity and healthy joints.

The allergy and immune health offering supports the well-being of a pet’s coat. Pets often struggle with allergies and environmental toxins that affect their skin health. Cymbiotika’s formula contains colostrum, rich in antibodies and nutrients to build a robust immune system and wild Alaskan salmon oil that boosts joint function, cardiovascular health and a healthy skin and coat with omega-3 fatty acids.

Meanwhile, discoveries in the gut-brain axis are enhancing the pet nutrition space. Scientific evidence suggests that “super fats” in dogs’ diets can prolong the length and quality of the animal’s life, according to US-based dog nutrition brand Yumwoof.

Healthy bones
Powder-form supplements can be effortlessly included in a pet’s routine by directly adding the dosage to its food. The Hip & Joint formula has glucosamine, chondroitin and methylsulfonylmethane to ease discomfort from breed predispositions or an active lifestyle. Regular use allows pets to enjoy an active lifestyle without stiffness or reduced mobility.

The solution features proprietary ingredients FruiteX-B and the Betta Berries antioxidant blend with potent plant compounds and phytonutrients such as resveratrol, xanthones, carotenoids and flavonoids like anthocyanins. Hip & Joint contains cod liver oil and methylsulfonylmethane to ease inflammation and lower cholesterol.

In other industry developments, Hill’s Pet Nutrition launched a series of product innovations and enhancements to its veterinarian-recommended therapeutic pet food line — Hill’s Prescription Diet.

Symrise Pet Food transformed its nutrition ingredients brand from Nutrios to Nuvin to grow and advance sustainability for the complete offering of egg, chicken, hydrolyzed proteins and health solutions.
