Aktivait helps to avoid free radical damage and promotes brain signals. Aktivait is the first supplement to combine all the nutrients necessary for sustaining optimum function. It contains a complex mix of antioxidants (Vitamins C, E, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid and N-acetyl cysteine) and compounds necessary for optimum metabolism and function of the nerve cells (Carnitine, DHA/EPA and Phosphatidylserine). It may also help to prevent free radical damage and improve electrical transmission between nerve cells. Animal behaviourists have identified four distinct symptoms of cognitive dysfunction- Disorientation, Loss of house training, Irregular sleep patterns and reduced interaction. This can be due to the harmful free radicals that are naturally produced in the body. In a young and healthy animal, antioxidants are produced to neutralize the free radicals and maintain equilibrium. As your pet ages they produce less antioxidants and an imbalance occurs. This leads to an excess of free radicals, which damage the cells and cell contents especially DNA, lipid membranes and proteins. This in turn can lead to the development of disease and related problems:  Increased wandering around Pacing up and down Restlessness Depression Decreased recognition of familiar people, pets or places Getting lost in familiar locations Less interested in play Restless sleep or waking at night Toileting indoors Combined with a programme of correct feeding and exercise Aktivait may: Improve your pet's vitality and energyImprove memory and mental alertnessIncrease your pet's lifespan by 10-20%
