It rarely begins with a clear symptom. The walk that used to be a matter of course now ends a little sooner. After climbing the stairs he stops briefly and breathes. When playing, he is done sooner than his head wants to be.<\/p>\n
Many owners call this \"he's just calming down\". That can be true \u2013 but the heart is a muscle that works a whole life without pause, and this very muscle reacts particularly sensitively to its nutrient supply.<\/p>\n
The heart muscle obtains its energy almost entirely from fatty acids \u2013 and for that it needs certain building blocks in sufficient amounts. Taurine and L-carnitine manage the transport of fatty acids into the cellular power plants; coenzyme Q10 is involved in the actual energy production there. If one of these building blocks is missing, the muscle keeps working \u2013 but less efficiently.<\/p>\n
In some breeds, the taurine requirement is naturally higher. In 1987 it was first demonstrated that a widespread heart weakness in cats had a nutritional cause; since then, the connection between these nutrients and normal heart function has been well studied in dogs as well.<\/p>\n
Take any heart supplement from the shelf: the ingredient list usually looks sensible. Taurine, L-carnitine, omega-3, perhaps Q10. The question is not what<\/em> is listed. The question is how much of it ever reaches the bloodstream<\/em>.<\/p>\n Coenzyme Q10 is considered hard to absorb and in ordinary powder form only a small part is used \u2013 moreover, the reduced, active form (ubiquinol) is sensitive to heat and oxygen. Omega-3 fatty acids in turn oxidise under light, warmth and air long before they reach the bowl. A rancid oil brings no benefit, only additional burden.<\/p>\n A supplement can be perfectly correct on the label and still achieve very little.<\/p>\n We wrap the active ingredients in a shell of plant-derived phospholipids \u2013 the same material from which body cells build their membranes.<\/p>\n Using ultrasound at a maximum of 35 \u00b0C, this emulsion is refined until the particles measure under 200 nanometres. For comparison: a human hair is around 400 times thicker.<\/p>\n Three things follow from this:<\/p>\n Cardio-Core\u2122 unites the building blocks of heart muscle energy in a single nano-liposomal system:<\/p>\n Free from sugar, grain and artificial colourings.

Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n
Night-time coughing can have many causes, including ones related to heart function \u2013 with recurring coughing, a vet should investigate. Cardio-Core\u2122 provides accompanying support with taurine, L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10.<\/p>\n
Occasionally yes; permanently changed breathing should be examined by a vet.<\/p>\n
