Description
Your dog spent three days in kennels. Why does he need a week afterwards?
You probably know the pattern. After boarding, after a move, after a holiday, he is more tired than usual. Perhaps a little cough from the dog park. Perhaps he is scratching more again. After a few days it is all over – but each time it costs him something.
That is no coincidence and no character flaw. That is immune biology.
Why stress and immune strength are connected
The immune system is not a switch that is on or off. It is a network of cells, messenger substances, mucous membranes and gut flora – and this network consumes resources.
Under stress, demand rises: more cell division, more messengers, more oxidative load. A city dog has plenty of that. Many social contacts at the dog park, changing environments, traffic, pollen, fine dust.
It often becomes visible first not at the nose but at the skin: recurring itching, paw licking, ears that keep being an issue. Skin and gut are themselves part of the body's defences – which is why "skin" and "immune system" are more closely connected than the separate shelf rows at the pet shop suggest.
An ingredient we removed again
The second version of the formula contained black cumin seed oil. In humans a well-studied classic, and it would have looked good on the label.
We removed it again in version 3.0. The reason: the safety picture in dogs is not clear enough for us – dogs metabolise some plant compounds differently from humans, and for a product given daily over months, "probably unproblematic" is not enough.
We write this here because it belongs to the matter: leaving an ingredient out is an uncomfortable decision. It makes the list shorter and the story less spectacular. But you should know the standard by which we formulate.
What is in it instead
| Active ingredient | Why this one exactly |
|---|---|
| Beta-1,3/1,6-glucan (≥ 85%, from yeast) | The best-studied building block of immune nutrition. The structure is what matters: 1,3/1,6-branched, 150–500 kDa. Cheaper beta-glucans from oats have a different structure and different behaviour. |
| Concentrated fish oil (EPA+DHA ≥ 50%) | Omega-3 accompanies the work of the immune cells and counteracts the excessive side of inflammatory processes. |
| Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis | One of the strongest known natural antioxidants. Dosed well below the reference value named by EFSA. |
| Sea buckthorn berry oil, CO₂ extract | Carotenoids and omega-7 – a fatty acid found in hardly any complementary feed. |
| Hemp seed oil (THC < 10 ppm, with certificate of analysis) | For the balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. No CBD, no psychoactive effect. |
| Zinc and copper bisglycinate in a 10:1 ratio | Zinc is a central cofactor of the immune cells. Giving zinc over a longer period without considering copper can create an imbalance. Hence the fixed ratio. |
| Vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10 | Antioxidant protection – for the cells and for the formula itself. |
Dosage: 1 millilitre per kilogram of body weight
As with all NanoLipoX™ formulas: a 10 kg dog, 10 ml daily. Introduce over ten to fourteen days, starting with about a quarter.
Continuous use is particularly sensible in phases of increased strain: before and during boarding or travel, in the cold and wet season, for sport and working dogs during the competition season, and permanently for ageing dogs.
| Weight | Daily amount | Start |
|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | 5 ml | approx. 1.5 ml, increase over 10 days |
| 10 kg | 10 ml | approx. 2.5 ml, increase gradually |
| 20 kg | 20 ml | approx. 5 ml, increase gradually |
| 30 kg | 30 ml | approx. 7.5 ml, increase gradually |
| from 40 kg | 40 ml | 250 ml bottle recommended |
Contents, bottle, shelf life
Dosing pump and measuring cup are included with every order.
Amber glass, nitrogen above the liquid, no light. For this formula that is especially relevant: astaxanthin and the sea buckthorn carotenoids are extremely light-sensitive – the very molecules that give the product its warm colour would be the first lost in clear glass.
Shelf life: unopened, 12 months at 2–8 °C. After opening, use within 8 weeks. Do not freeze.

Frequently asked questions
How do I recognise a weak immune system in my dog?
Frequent infections, longer recovery times and noticeable listlessness can be hints. Immun-Schild™ supports the natural defences with beta-glucan, vitamins and omega-3.
What can I do if my dog often seems tired?
Sufficient sleep, exercise and a nutrient-rich diet are the basis; targeted supplementation can provide support.
