FORMULATION OF AN ULTIMATE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT ...

26Because EFAs are uncommonly tolerable, MEGADERM offers an extremely highbenefice / security quotient, particularly when compared to other products that also includedrugs.A sole treatment with MEGADERM can sometimes be sufficient. General clinicalimprovement must be assessed after a few weeks (6 to 10) of daily administration.However, its prescription as an adjunctive therapy is of much benefit, principally forallergic conditions, but also for many other dermatoses, in particular when keratinisationdisorders are suspected. Subsequently, powerful molecules (antihistamines, NSAI,corticosteroids…) may be spared with the use of MEGADERM.MEGADERM is all of the following :- a fundamental basis to all dermatological therapies,- a skin and coat conditioner,- and a product to help maintaining the animals good health.However, the first product indication (ALLERDERM ) must be releated to dermatologicaluses : MEGADERM is a nutritional supplement particularly indicated to helpcontrolling skin allergies and keratinisation disorders in dogs and cats.MEGADERM acts by regulating the metabolic pathways that are responsible ofinflammatory processes, restoring skin integrity and improving haircoat quality. Morebroadly speaking, MEGADERM enhances the natural organic defences that maintain theanimal in good health.Based on dermatologist recommendations the ALLERDERM research has led to theelaboration of an adapted formula, rich and perfectly balanced.MEGADERM has all the ingredients fitting its indications. In particular, the type (ω6 andω3), the origin, the amounts and the ratio of EFA, as well as the generous incorporation ofvitamins A and E ensure the best benefits for the animal.REFERENCES1.
