Cystaid Plus Capsules for Cats Cystaid Plus Capsules are an aid for the management of feline lower urinary tract disorders (FLUTD) in cats. They relieve urinary & bladder discomfort in cats, & are particularly suitable for felines that experience cystitis. They contain 125mg of glucosamine, the major component of the protective lining on the inside of the bladder. The understanding of the causes of Idiopathic Cystitis in cats is still in its infancy. However in many cats it seems the breakdown of the GAG layer plays a significant role. As some cats have a pre-disposed inability to facilitate the synthesis of N Acetyl D Glucosamine (NAG) from Glucosamine, supplementation with NAG may help. Supplementing your cat's diet with Cystaid Plus helps: Replace & maintain a healthy GAG bladder mucosal mucin layer Stimulates increased GAG production by mucosal cells Decreases bladder wall permeability thus reducing bladder wall inflammation. In addition to using Cystaid Plus, benefits may be seen with increasing the water consumption by changing to moist diet, improving the number & site of litter trays & reducing the stress levels.
