Branvine Respiratory Guardian for Dogs - Supports Lung, Nasal, Bronchial & Tracheal Health (135g)

Why Include Probiotics in a Respiratory Supplement?

Probiotics are often associated with digestive health, but their role extends far beyond the gut. The gut-lung axis describes how the gastrointestinal microbiome influences immune responses in the respiratory tract. Lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus Plantarum Lp-G18, can migrate from the intestines to the lungs, where they enhance local immunity and help defend against pathogens. By including this respiratory-specific probiotic, Branvine Respiratory Guardian supports the body's natural defences against airborne irritants and helps maintain a balanced immune response.

Key Ingredients for Respiratory Support

Each ingredient in Branvine Respiratory Guardian is selected for its specific role in supporting canine respiratory health. Here is how they work together:

• Quercefit® (Quercetin Phytosome) – Quercetin is a flavonoid known for its antioxidant properties and ability to support a healthy inflammatory response. The phytosome form enhances absorption, making it more effective for maintaining immune balance and reducing the impact of environmental irritants.
• Lactobacillus Plantarum (Lp-G18) – This probiotic strain is chosen for its ability to travel from the gut to the lungs, supporting local immunity and helping to protect the respiratory tract from harmful substances. It also helps maintain the mucosal immune barrier.
• OptiMSM® (Methylsulfonylmethane) – A form of organic sulphur that supports normal inflammatory processes and may help reduce the incidence of allergic rhinitis and sinusitis.
• Bromelain and Butterbur – Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple that supports the breakdown of mucus and reduces bronchial inflammation. Butterbur is traditionally used to support respiratory comfort and healthy airway function.
• Ginger and Cordyceps – Ginger helps expel accumulated mucus and secretions, while Cordyceps, a medicinal mushroom, supports lung function and oxygen utilisation.
• Collagen Type II, Chondroitin Sulphate, Hyaluronic Acid, Elastin, and Aquamin Seawater Magnesium – These nutrients support the structural components of the trachea and bronchi. They replenish elements involved in tracheal integrity and help maintain normal muscle relaxation, which is important for dogs prone to tracheal collapse.

Key Benefits of Probiotics for Canine Health

When combined with other supportive ingredients, probiotics offer several key benefits:

• Immune Modulation – Probiotics help regulate immune responses, reducing overreactions to environmental triggers.
• Digestive Health – A balanced gut microbiome supports regular bowel movements and reduces flatulence.
• Overall Vitality – By supporting both digestive and immune systems, probiotics contribute to your dog's overall energy and wellbeing.
• Respiratory Support – Specific strains can improve mucosal immunity in the airways, helping maintain clear breathing.
