Protexin Cobalaplex for Dogs and Cats 60 capsules

Protexin Cobalaplex supports normal serum cobalamin and folate levels in dogs and cats

- helps to maintain normal levels of cobalamin (vitamin B12) and folate (vitamin B9) in the blood of dogs and cats that may be at risk of deficiency
- folate and cobalamin have a synergistic relationship and are cofactors in several important cellular metabolic processes, e.g. the metabolic pathway that converts the amino acid methionine into cysteine - an essential step in the production of glutathione, a fundamental antioxidant. When one of these vitamins is deficient, the metabolic pathway is interrupted. This leads to an increase in the level of homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinaemia) in the blood and to a disruption of the methionine metabolic pathway.
- contains Preplex prebiotic
- artificial chicken flavour to improve palatability


It has been shown that a high dose of orally administered cobalamin normalises its serum levels in hypocobalaminaemic dogs and cats.

Cobalamin is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in many physiological processes of the body, such as cellular metabolism, DNA synthesis, ATP, amino acid and fatty acid metabolism, blood formation, and is essential for the proper function of the nervous system.

Folic acid is a simply and easily absorbable synthetic form of folate, which is another important water-soluble B vitamin that is essential for the synthesis and repair of both DNA and RNA. It plays a key role in cell division and growth. It follows that proliferating cells, such as erythrocytes, leukocytes and enterocytes, have a high requirement for folic acid.

Cobalaplex contains Preplex prebiotic - a 50:50 combination of fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and acacia (gum arabic). This combination provides a prebiotic effect over a longer section of the intestinal tract, which helps to support a healthy gastrointestinal microflora and thereby contributes to maintaining optimal levels of both serum folate and cobalamin.

Dosage: The capsules are administered directly into the mouth or the contents are mixed into the food. To maintain a normal level of cobalamin (vitamin B12), the dose can be decreased or increased.
