ANIMALIA KINGDOM : CANINE COMPANION

Companion Resilience

Whole-plant botanical support for active canine companions. Formulated to support joint mobility, lipid balance, and exercise recovery through plant sterol and saponin pathways.

CONFIDENCE TIER: HYPOTHESIZED Smilax glabra Extract

Translational Botanical Support

Under investigation: translational evidence from phytosterol and saponin veterinary research.

Our Canine Formula brings the benefits of whole-plant Smilax glabra to active canine companions. Formulated to be easily integrated into their daily routine, it is designed to support healthy digestion, cellular comfort, and steady vitality.

The Story of Eros

This formulation was inspired by a personal journey with a companion named Eros. As Eros aged, observing his daily comfort led us to explore how whole-plant botanical extracts might provide gentle, foundational nourishment for active canine companions.

Through careful observation and a return to botanical principles, we recognized the value of non-isolated, whole-plant compounds. While veterinary translational science continues to investigate these pathways, we know that a comfortable, physically supported dog is a happy companion.

Canine Physiological Support

Targeted support for digestive equilibrium and exercise recovery.

Hypothesized Mechanisms

Dogs experience oxidative, environmental, and physical stressors that challenge their joints and gastrointestinal barriers. Phytosterols and saponin aglycones from Smilax glabra are hypothesized to support Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) threshold balance and maintain tight junction integrity in the canine GI tract.

Administration Guidelines

Administer once daily mixed thoroughly with food:

  • Small Dogs (< 25 lbs): 1/4 teaspoon daily
  • Medium Dogs (25 - 60 lbs): 1/2 teaspoon daily
  • Large Dogs (> 60 lbs): 1 teaspoon daily
