What herbs and nutraceuticals have natural detoxifying properties that may be beneficial to my dog?
Many herbal ingredients may be used safely and effectively to help with gentle, daily detoxification for dogs. These include milk thistle, chlorella, garlic bulb, spirulina, dandelion root, beet leaf, bladderwrack, hawthorn berry, picrorhiza root, dragon’s blood, turmeric, cilantro, green tea leaf and artichoke leaf, as well as choline (a constituent of phosphatidylcholine), rutin (derived from buckwheat), inositol (vitamin B), PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid), and SAM-e (or S-adenosylmethionine, the manmade form of an energy-producing compound found naturally in the body). Flower essences and homeopathy have also proven effective for natural detoxification.
