Ipakitine

If the kidneys can no longer perform their tasks adequately due to a disease, phosphorus (or phosphates) and urinary substances (so-called uraemic toxins) in particular accumulate in the body. This leads to serious complaints and a faster progression of the disease.

You can support your animal with kidney disease with Ipakitine powder. It contains

• chitosan extracted from molluscs and crustaceans, which binds and removes uraemic toxins. Uremic toxins are partly responsible for the increasing loss of kidney function (nephron destruction, glomerulosclerosis).
• a calcium-based phosphate binder that binds and removes dietary phosphates (e.g. from meat) and secreted blood phosphates. The improved phosphate balance has a positive effect on kidney function and prolongs survival time.

Ipakitine is a tasteless powder that can be optimally mixed with wet food. It can be fed as a preventive or adjunctive measure during all stages of Renal insufficiency. Ipakitine can also be given in conjunction with diets.
How does Ipakitine help my animal with kidney disease?

Phosphorus reduction is an important measure in the treatment of chronic Renal insufficiency. The phosphorus accumulated in the blood of dogs and cats with kidney disease destroys other functional corpuscles (glomerula) of the kidney. It is therefore important to reduce the dietary intake of phosphorus. The calcium carbonate in Ipakitine helps to bind the phosphorus in the gastrointestinal tract so that it cannot be absorbed in the first place.

Detoxification of the body is the second important measure to relieve the kidneys. In patients with kidney disease, urinary toxins are often found in the gastrointestinal tract. The chitosan contained in Ipakitine, which is administered with the feed, already binds toxins and degradation products there. These are excreted with the feces. In this way, the body can be detoxified over time.
