DOGGY WOOGIE® HEALTH SKIN & COAT is a 100% natural nutritional supplement developed to improve the skin, coat, joints and immune system of adult dogs. The key to this formula lies in the combination of Biaminoée® (di- and tripeptides, 20 L-amino acids), an animal protein, glucosamine HCL and collagen type II.

Each of the amino acids in Biaminoée® plays a specific role in optimizing the dog's health, especially in the area of skin and coat health, and especially in preventing problems to maintain the dog's healthy life.

1. The role of Biaminoée® and amino acids in skin and coat health

The 20 L-amino acids in Biaminoée® are the building blocks of proteins that are essential for the structure, function and repair of skin and hair. Each amino acid has a specific function and contributes to improving the general health of the skin and coat.

Essential Amino Acids in the Formula and Their Functions:

1. L-Leucine:
   • Helps produce collagen and elastin in the skin, making it firmer and more supple.
   • Supports the growth and regeneration of skin cells, which is essential for repairing skin damage and strengthening hair follicles.
2. L-Lysine:
   • Important for the production of keratin, the protein that gives the coat its structure, strength and shine.
   • Promotes the absorption of calcium, which indirectly supports the skin and coat by improving the overall health of the skeleton.
3. L-Methionine:
   • An essential amino acid that contains sulfur and is crucial for the formation of keratin, which contributes to a healthy coat.
   • Helps detoxify the body and promotes a shiny, healthy coat by supporting the production of antioxidants such as glutathione.
4. L-Arginine:
   • Stimulates blood flow in the skin, which ensures a better supply of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles.
   • Helps heal wounds and restores damaged skin barriers, making it useful for dogs with skin problems such as allergies or wounds.
5. L-Threonine:
   • Supports the production of elastin and collagen, which gives the skin its firmness and elasticity.
   • Plays a role in the production of mucin, which promotes the hydration of the skin and mucous membranes.
6. L-Proline:
   • Crucial for the production of collagen, which ensures stronger and more elastic skin. Collagen is an important structural protein that prevents sagging skin and wrinkles.
   • It helps repair damaged tissue, which strengthens the skin's regenerative properties.
7. L-Phenylalanine:
   • Helps regulate pigmentation in the skin and coat, which can contribute to a fuller, healthier coat color.
   • Promotes a healthy nervous system, which is essential for the immune system and the dog's overall health.
8. L-Cysteine:
   • Plays an important role in the production of keratin, which ensures a strong and shiny coat.
   • Protects the skin against oxidative damage through its role in the production of antioxidants.

Other amino acids in Biaminoée® and their supporting functions:

1. L-histidine: supports the structure of skin proteins and contributes to the immunological health of the skin.
2. L-valine: promotes muscle recovery and ensures healthy skin by promoting cell regeneration.
3. L-Isoleucine: Supports the recovery and renewal of skin cells.
4. L-Serine: Helps keep the skin hydrated and supports the regeneration of the skin barrier.
5. L-Alanine: Supports the energy metabolism of skin cells and contributes to skin elasticity.
6. L-Aspartic Acid & L-Glutamic Acid: These contain skin-repairing and antioxidant properties that are essential for healthy skin and fur.

2. Synergy between Glucosamine HCL and Collagen Type II in Skin and Fur Health

In addition to the amino acids in Biaminoée®, glucosamine HCL and collagen type II play an important role in supporting the dog's skin and coat. These ingredients strengthen the skin's structure, improve the moisture balance and support the recovery of skin tissue.

• Glucosamine HCL:
  • Glucosamine is an essential building block for the formation of glycosaminoglycans, which protect the skin and hair follicles and help maintain the moisture balance.
  • Supports the production of hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes the skin and slows down the natural aging process of the skin.
  • Helps repair damaged skin cells and contributes to maintaining healthy, strong skin.
• Collagen Type II:
  • Collagen type II is an essential structural protein that keeps the skin supple and firm. It prevents the skin from sagging or developing wrinkles, especially in older dogs.
  • Supports the connective tissue in the skin, making it more resistant to damage from environmental factors.
  • Strengthens the coat structure and ensures a stronger, healthier coat.

3. Synergistic Effect on Skin, Coat and Immune System

The combination of Biaminoée®, Glucosamine HCL and Collagen type II works in synergy to improve the dog's health in various ways:

• Skin: Amino acids such as L-Proline and L-Threonine work together with collagen type II to keep the skin firm and elastic. Glucosamine HCL promotes the moisture balance in the skin and helps repair damage, resulting in healthier skin with a stronger protective barrier.
• Coat: Amino acids such as L-Cysteine and L-Methionine stimulate the production of keratin, resulting in a stronger, fuller and shinier coat. Collagen strengthens the hair follicles and prevents hair loss, contributing to a thicker and shinier coat.
• Immune system: L-Arginine and L-Lysine support the immune response, which is important for fighting infections and promoting skin repair. The skin becomes stronger and more resistant to external influences such as allergens and microbes.

Conclusion:

DOGGY WOOGIE® HEALTH SKIN & COAT offers a thorough, science-based approach to promoting the skin, coat and immune health of dogs. The presence of 20 L-amino acids in the form of di- and tripeptides (Biaminoée®), combined with glucosamine HCL and type II collagen, offers a synergistic effect that strengthens the skin, revitalizes the coat and supports the overall health of the dog.

Thanks to this combination of ingredients, this supplement is ideal for dogs that need preventive care for their general health and therapeutic support for their skin, coat and immune system.
