Today at Derwent Group, we want to analyse the benefits that nutraceutical products offer our pets. In the Derwent Nutrition department, we work to try and find the raw materials and products which may help the health and wellness of our furry friends.
To do so, the first thing we must do is define this word.
What are nutraceutical products?
Nutraceutical products are nutritional supplements of natural origin. They have numerous biological properties which offer pets’ bodies numerous benefits. The best thing about these supplements is that they serve a therapeutic and preventive function.
It is very important specify that nutraceutical products are not pharmaceuticals, therefore their consumption has no negative connotations for animals’ health. Conversely, the objective in their use is to improve pets’ quality of life and wellbeing.
At Derwent Nutrition, today we will discuss Dibaq products, analysing the raw materials they use to offer our pets the best benefits and health.
