Why is it Great That Your Dog Food Contains Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll cleanses the body of harmful substances, accelerates recovery from anemia, and destroys malignant cells.
You probably know that one of the ingredients of our products that we are very proud of and which we consider to be of exceptional value for dogs - His Highness is beef rumen. It's one of those ingredients in our natural Von BARF dog food that the pages can be written about.
- In the Von BARF Classic of uncleaned rumen has 20%,
- in Von BARF Professional 35%,
- while our product Sensitive 93% green beef tripe.
Raw uncleaned beef tripe may not have the most pleasant smell to us, but dogs find that smell very attractive! And why do we appreciate it so much? Among other things, because it is a rich source of:
- enzymes,
- minerals (calcium and phosphorus),
- vitamins (choline) and
- of fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic),
- and it also contains the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus.
But what we want to write about today is that green is uncleaned rumen (fillet, tripe) is the best source of green plant pigment - chlorophyll. In ruminants, including cattle, plant decomposition begins in the rumen, which is why we find a large amount of absorbed chlorophyll in its mucosa.
Chlorophyll in dog food
Chlorophyll has been found to have many beneficial properties for the health of dogs. Cleans the body of harmful substances. Chlorophyll helps detoxify the liver. It also has the ability to bind heavy metals. In addition to cleansing the body of harmful substances, chlorophyll also acts as an antimicrobial, helping the immune system to defend the body. It has a positive effect on the healing of wounds on the skin and mucous membranes. Accelerates recovery from anemia. Due to the very similar structure of chlorophyll and hemoglobin (blood pigment, responsible for binding oxygen in erythrocytes), chlorophyll accelerates recovery from anemia. The difference between chlorophyll and hemoglobin is in only one central atom - iron in hemoglobin and magnesium in chlorophyll. Chlorophyll destroys malignant cells. Chlorophyll prevents the binding of carcinogens, such as aflatoxin, to DNA in the liver and other organs. It also acts as an antioxidant - it neutralizes free radicals. Promotes the health of the digestive system. Chlorophyll cleans the digestive system of harmful substances, but also promotes the development of good microflora in the intestines. In addition to chlorophyll from green raw rumen, Von BARF products also contain chlorophyll from vegetables such as kale, spinach and broccoli. From all of the above, it is clear how many benefits for the health of our furry pets come from just a few ingredients of Von BARF products.
