Proflax are a number 1 award winning, vet approved, UK herbal supplement brand. Their two oil based ranges consist of salmon oil or flaxseed oil, both of which are human food grade and expertly formulated with active herbal blends to provide optimal support for the individual needs of dogs and cats. Lets look into these oils in more detail.
Understanding Oils and Essential Fatty Acids
Proflax's innovative approach lies in the unique formulation of their supplements - so using oils and herbs mixed together - with the main focus being on essential fatty acids (EFAs) from the oils. The primary difference between the fish oil and flaxseed oil lies in the types of EFAs they contain.
The fish oil used in Proflax's Omega range is rich in two EFA’s: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in supporting cardiovascular and brain health, promoting a shiny coat, and boosting the immune system. Fish oils are suitable for both dogs and cats (Feline Fine).
The flax seed oil used in Proflax’s Flax range contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA). These omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for maintaining healthy skin, promoting joint health and supporting overall cardiovascular and immune function. Flax seed oil is ideal for dogs only.
All types of EFA’s, whether from fish or flax seed oil, are excellent at maintaining general health. They help support your dogs digestive system and cognitive function and regulate their metabolism. EFA’s are also exceptional at reducing inflammation when fed in conjunction with a healthy, species appropriate diet.
Synergistic Herbal Blend for Optimal Support
What sets Proflax apart is not just the choice between fish oil and flaxseed oil but the unique blend of concentrated active herbal tinctures that constitutes 25% of each product. These carefully curated herbal blends are designed to work synergistically with the chosen oil base, providing a comprehensive and balanced support system for your dog or cat.
There are a total of four products in the fish oil range and ten in the flaxseed oil range. Each product is formulated with a specific purpose, addressing various aspects of pet health, from joint support to skin and coat health, and immune system strength.
Fast Acting Benefits - One of the standout features of Proflax supplements is their rapid efficacy. Due to the concentration of herbal ingredients and the synergy between the herbal blend and oil base, pet owners can witness health benefits almost immediately. This quick response is particularly valuable in addressing acute conditions or providing immediate relief for pets experiencing discomfort, either physically or emotionally.
Most other supplement brands focus on either herbs or oils, and as such provide support of either general health relating to oils OR support specific issues relating to herbs, but not both. Proflax is unique in that it combines both of these amazing ingredient types to give ready blended products that provide total support, are cost effective and easy to use/feed. It’s also reassuring to know that all of the technical work has been done in formulating how much of each herb to feed to provide a safe and effective supplement solution. It’s safe to say that Proflax stand out as a brand committed to the holistic wellbeing of dogs and cats.
