We understand your concerns about alcohol in some of our supplements, especially when it comes to your cat. Here’s why we use alcohol in certain formulations and how we ensure it’s safe for your furry friend:
Effective Extraction: In our ES Clear/BK Detox formulation, alcohol is used because it's the best carrier to extract the medicinal properties from certain herbs. Some compounds simply can’t be effectively extracted without it. This ensures that the supplements are as potent and beneficial as possible. It also acts as a natural preservative.
Safety and Approval: The small amount of alcohol present is completely safe and has been carefully reviewed and approved by our veterinary team and herbalist. It’s designed to enhance the absorption of the herbs' beneficial properties, making the supplement more effective for your cat.
Maintaining Integrity: Alcohol allows the extraction process to be done at lower temperatures, which helps maintain the integrity and potency of the herbs' medicinal compounds. This means your cat is getting the highest quality benefits from the supplement.
Easy Alcohol Removal: If you prefer to remove the alcohol, there’s an easy solution. Simply add the supplement to a teaspoon of boiling water and let it cool before giving it to your cat. The heat will evaporate the alcohol, but the medicinal properties of the herbs will remain just as effective.
Supplements with Alcohol are BK Detox, ES Clear, Hairb-EZ, First Aid Spray and Target Spray.
