Q: Why are supplemental fatty acids important?
A: High amounts of hormones and enzymes are produced during the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells. As a result, fatty acids in the cell membranes are replaced with cholesterol, which is resistant to attack by the immune system.
Q: What if an animal is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy?
A: Temporarily discontinue use of ProtectaCell 24 hours before, during, and 24 hours after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Research on multiple dietary antioxidants suggests that for optimum benefit, a minimum total usage time of 1-2 days is needed prior to therapy (i.e. prior to temporary discontinuation of supplement). Always consult your veterinarian.
Q: Why is the green tea extract decaffeinated?
A: We use decaffeinated green tea in order to avoid any potential weight loss in addition to that which may already have occurred as a result of disease.
Q: What is the source of omega-3 fatty acids in ProtectaCell?
A: The omega-3 fatty acids come from algae grown in a controlled environment.
Q: If using ProtectaCell as a dietary supplement in healthy pets, can the recommended usage be lowered?
A: Yes, the usage can be reduced to half for healthy animals.
Q: What if a pet has side effects?
A: If diarrhea or vomiting occurs concurrently with starting ProtectaCell use, it is recommended that the usage is reduced to half for about a week before returning to the full amount. Mixing supplements with food has also been helpful in some cases.
