Mast cells are important immune system cells and are present in connective tissues throughout the body and the bloodstream. A mast cell tumor (MCT) or mastocytoma is a type of tumor consisting of mast cells and is the most common type of skin tumor found in dogs. Although they commonly form nodules or masses in the skin, they can also affect other areas of the body like the spleen, liver, intestines, and bone marrow.
For this type of tumor, we recommend supplements that provide support through their anti-tumor, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as by supporting the immune system:
NHV Natures Immuno: This mushroom blend supports the immune system and provides anti-tumor benefits, thanks to the properties of the five medicinal mushrooms included in the formula.
NHV ES Clear: This formula contains herbs used to support and fight cancer. They can help the body combat tumor growth, purify blood, and detoxify vital organs.
NHV Turmeric: This popular herb is valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce histamine production and the resulting inflammation commonly associated with mast cell tumors. Additionally, studies have shown that it may also help inhibit tumor growth.
NHV Milk Thistle: This is another well-known herb recognized for its liver-protective properties. For that reason, including this formula can be especially beneficial if your little one is undergoing chemotherapy or taking prescribed medications for the tumor.
NHV ES Clear, Turmeric, and Milk Thistle are included in our Pet Cancer Super Support Kit (Cancer Kit 3).
