Exhibits antiviral activity against several lipid enveloped viruses including Herpes Simplex

Helps enhance antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal activity

Decreases viral replication, shortens healing time and duration of symptoms

Helps to protect the superficial layer of the epidermis, fur, and nails to aid in prevention of viral and fungal diseases.

Page 15: Animal Necessity Pet Catalog

The most important ingredients in SHaNa VetTM includesDocosanol and Tricontanol, which have been shown tohave anti-viral and anti-inflammatory activities. Clinicalstudies have shown that Docosanol inhibits infusionbetween envelope viruses, such as herpes simplex, andthe host cells, thus blocking entry and replication.Triacontanol (TRIA) has been known to exhibit anti-inflammatory action in animals and this anti-inflammatory effect of TRIA might be mediated throughinhibition of lipid peroxidation. Since LOX inhibitorshave been extensively used as their therapeutic agents,TRIA, being a natural compound has been suggested tobe an effective anti-inflammatory drug.

Shana contains plants, phytowaxes, and fatty alcohols that have anti-fungalproperties such as squalene, calendula, and triacontanol. Squalene is anatural lipid that is a precursor of cholesterol biosynthesis belonging to theterpenoid family and a precursor of cholesterol biosynthesis. Squalene issynthesized in humans, sharks, and a variety of organisms. Highintracellular fungal squalene concentrations are believed to interfere withfungal membrane function and cell wall synthesis.1 Calendula is flowerplant that contains esquiterpenes glycosides, saponins, xanthophylls, trioltriterpenes, and flavanoids. This plant has been studied in vitro anddemonstrated a wide spectrum against pathogenic fungi.2

PRENATAL PROTOCOL

Healthy babies begin their life from themoment of development in the womb. Inhuman medicine, a complete prenatalsupplementation protocol isrecommended. Based on the currenthuman research, a formulation has beenconstructed for marine mammals.Micronutrient supplementation with folicacid, vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E,calcium, iron, zinc, copper, iodine,selenium, and omega fatty acids(EPA/DHA) play an significant role inphysical health; including birth outcomes,fetal growth, infant physical development,and lactation.

It is important to keep the maternal andfetal immune system strong asreproductive problems can occur duringthe prenatal, labor, and postnatal period.Placental ischemia-reperfusion injury hasbeen associated with excessive productionof reactive oxygen species causing releaseof placental factors that mediate theinflammatory response.1 Omega fatty acidsupplementation during the prenatal andpostnatal period has a positive effect on thegrowth and function of the central nervoussystem and cognitive development.2

Human studies have shown that maternaladaptations during pregnancy andlactation provide necessary calciumregardless of Vitamin D status.3 After theneonate is born, serum calciumconcentrations drop from their high fetallevels to a trough below the adult level. Inthe vitamin D deficient or insufficientneonate, hypocalcemia can arise due to thepoor penetrance of vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin 25(OH)D into the milk.3Recommendation for higher vitamin Ddosing during pregnancy and lactationmight be best directed towards ensuringthat the neonate is vitamin D sufficient andthat this sufficiency is maintained duringinfancy and beyond. Dosages are carefullyselected, depending on weight, to makesure there is an adequate intake ofmicronutrients.

Sharks are commonly supplemented with vitamin C as part of the wound healing medical protocol. Vitamin C iswater soluable and therefore needs to be provided as a daily dose to replenish the amount that is excreted. Com-parative research studies in vitro and in humans demonstrated that Pureway-C® is more rapidly absorbed andleads to higher plasma and cellular levels, having faster and more beneficial effects than ascorbic acid, calciumascorbate and other ascorbate brands.1 These benefits include better stimulation of neurite outgrowth, increasedfibroblast wound healing activities, increased protection of the immune system from xenobiotic induced inflam-matory mechanisms, and greater reduction of plasma levels of C-reactive protein and oxidized LDL.1 Pine Barkprovides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. One study showed that supplementation simultaneouslyinhibits COX-2 and 5-LOX gene expression and reduces leukotriene biosynthesis in human polymorphonuclearleukocytes upon pro-inflammatory stimulation ex vivo.2

Alpha lipoic (ALA) is a fatty acid that acts as a powerful water and fat-soluble antioxidant found in the body intrace amounts. ALA increases the body’s production of glutathione, the body’s most important endogenousantioxidant. ALA is known for its ability to help neutralize cell damaging free radicals and helps dissolve toxicsubstances in the liver.(1) Imbalance of the glutathione redox cycle contributes to cataractogenesis and ALA hasbeen shown to protect lenses from oxidative stress that causes cataracts.(2) This universal antioxidant helps tobenefit diabetic canine patients as it promotes normal insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, though actuallevels of insulin and glucose may not change.(3) Note: It is not safe in cats at a dose higher than 30 mg/day.1, 2, 3 Please visit www.animalnecessity.com for references

LECITHIN

Lecithin has been used in cases with hepatic lipidosis. The B vitamincholine is thought to be deficient in this disease, which allows for fattyinfiltrates into the liver. Choline is present in all living cells and facilitatesthe movement of fats into the cells. It combines with fatty acids andphosphoric acid in the liver to form lecithin. Choline is required for theproduction of acetycholine, a neurotransmitter. Choline is found in mostanimal tissue and is necessary for nerve function and fat metabolism.Choline is lipotropic (acting on fat metabolism by hastening removal, ordecreasing the deposit of fat in the liver).
