COMPLEMENTARY FOOD FOR DOGS AND CATS
IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM NAUSEA AND REFLUX
The phytotherapeutic complex with hemp oil and ginger counteracts nausea and provides relief. 4-5-6
Sodium alginate, in contact with stomach acid, forms a viscous, elastic barrier that hinders the rise of stomach acid towards the oesophagus, acting more rapidly than other functional ingredients and providing immediate relief. 1-2-3
Tindalised lactobacilli and tributyrate counter intestinal dysbiosis, helping to improve gastric function. 16-17-18
PROTECTION OF THE MUCOSA AGAINST GASTRIC ACIDS
Mucilages (Opuntia ficus indica and Althea) adhere to the gastric mucosa, creating a barrier that protects the stomach wall from acid aggression. The synergistic action of the phytocomplexes promotes the regeneration of damaged parietal cells. 13-14-15
REGULATION OF GASTRIC ACIDITY
The unique and original formulation of Stomek® suspension guarantees immediate gastric protection from the action of acids, regulating their production over time.
Traditionally adopted local and systemic antacids (carbonates and bicarbonates) temporarily buffer acids and hyperacidity, but their prolonged use is contraindicated 11-12.
There is also Stomek® tablets
Complementary food for dogs to support physiological gastric function.
Revolutionary and innovative support that helps counter nausea, gastric hyperacidity and gastritis symptoms.
NAUSEA AND HYPERACIDITY
Ginger and liquorice help counter nausea and gastric hyperacidity.
RELIEF
Chamomile, due to its spasmolytic activity, and Prickly Pear, by creating a barrier layer in the stomach, help counteract the symptoms of gastritis.
PROLONGED ACTION
Due to its indirect action, tributyrate (microencapsulated) supports the action of the Stomek® product over time.
