Cats and dogs age just as people do. Part of the aging process involves breakdown caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. These free radicals occur as a result of normal everyday life functions, such as breathing, exercising, digesting food, being exposed to the sun or pollution, and suffering trauma and injury.

Free radicals can cause oxidative damage, which is related to many degenerative conditions. Oxidative damage increases with age and eventually overwhelms the body's natural defenses. It may, however, be lessened by increasing the amount of "anti-oxidants" in your pet's diet. Antioxidants, like those found in Young-4-Life, may stabilize free radicals and reduce the extent of oxidative damage. Antioxidant supplements are an easy way to significantly reinforce the body's defense systems. Just as we "reinforce" our morning cereal with colorful berries, adding Young-4-Life to your pet's food may prevent them from developing degenerative conditions or aging too quickly.

Consider giving your pet Young-4-Life, especially if they are genetically predisposed to any disease or degenerative conditions. For example, some breeds of dogs are predisposed to cancer, arthritis, heart disease, or skin problems. Cats are also susceptible to certain conditions, such as kidney disease, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections and inflammatory conditions. It's good practice to start puppies and kittens on Young-4-Life during their vaccination periods. Their immune systems are still developing and can use the extra support during that time especially.

Young-4-Life is a combination of the following nutrients. Some vitamins and minerals act as antioxidants or complement antioxidant activity.

• Glutathione, cysteine and spirulina (a rich source of beta-carotene)
• Vitamins E, C, and A
• Selenium, zinc, manganese, copper and calcium

*Contains pork liver and vegetarian flavors.
