Description
Whenever our pets get sick or something is off, it takes a toll on their immune system. Give your furkiddo a little extra support with NHV’s Immune System Support Gold to bolster their natural defenses.
What Does The Immune System do?
All living creatures are susceptible to harmful microorganisms invading their body and making them sick. Your cat or dog’s first line of defense is their skin - a physical barrier protecting them from the outside world. Beyond the skin, vertebrate animals (like humans and your pets) have also developed a complex system to target and fight off diseases called the immune system. So, in other words, the immune system is your furkiddo’s best defense against pathogens and infectious diseases. The main parts of the immune system are:
- White blood cells
- Antibodies
- The complement cascade
- The lymphatic system
- The spleen
- Bone marrow
- The thymus gland
Holistic Remedies for Canine and Feline Immune Support
From the moment they open their eyes, our furry friends want to explore, sniff and play. Sadly, many of our four-legged friends will experience some form of illness in their lifetime, which will weaken their immune system and make them susceptible to all sorts of other health complications. Our Immune System Support Gold can be used for proactive pet care as well as be helpful for more severe conditions, like a degenerative disease where their immune system may be severely weakened. NHV supplements are formulated to be used alongside conventional veterinary treatments as they contain many beneficial properties to support your pet's overall vitality as well as add extra support to help restore healthy immune function.
How NHV Remedies Help to Restore the Immune System
Any time your furkiddo's health is off track, their immune system is most likely affected. NHV's Immune Health Kit contains BK-Detox, ES-Clear, and Turmeric. BK-Detox helps flush the lymphatic system of toxic waste (especially areas of the body having scar tissue or swelling), support gentle detoxification of vital organs, and help to build new blood cells. Although NHV ES Clear is our leading degenerative disease support supplement, ingredients like Sheep's Sorrel and Slippery Elm are also highly beneficial for their nutritional qualities and for boosting white blood cell and T-cell production. Turmeric adds extra antioxidant support to enhance the body’s immune response and soothes inflammation.

Ingredients

BK-Detox

- Echinacea Angustifolia is an herb containing a range of immune-stimulating compounds which include polysaccharides, flavonoids, and essential oils. Polysaccharides increase the number of antibodies, increase white blood cell production and enhance healing.
- Gotu Kola has been used for over millennia to improve blood circulation and encourage the detoxification of vital organs and tissues.
- Neem is known to help cleanse the body and promote healing. It acts as an effective disinfectant agent for skin diseases and contains antimicrobial properties.
- Oregon Grape contains isoquinoline alkaloids, tannins, and resins which have demonstrated antibiotic and immunostimulatory properties.

- Red Clover is a blood purifying herb with strong affinities to the liver, blood, and skin. It is also highly nutritive and may have anti-tumor properties.

- Slippery Elm is a rich source of nutrients such as vitamins (A, B complex, C, K), minerals (calcium, magnesium and sodium) which are all beneficial for immune health, inflammation and producing new white blood cells.
Turmeric
- Black Pepper contains many vitamins and minerals to support building new white blood cells, reduce inflammation, and make the curcumin in Turmeric bioavailable for better absorption.

FAQ
How can I boost my dog’s immune system?
We recommend focusing on re-balancing your dog’s immune health rather than ‘boosting’ it. A ‘boosted’ immune system is actually a bad thing because it implies that it is overactive. And an overactive immune system leads to autoimmune disorders. You want your pet’s immune system to function normally so it prevents infection and fights off harmful pathogens.
Supplements like BK-Detox, ES-Clear, and Turmeric support the healthy elimination of toxins, add antioxidant support (free radical scavengers), and support the body’s defenses against infection.
Can this bundle be used for rabbits?
Absolutely! For bunnies of any species or size, the dosage is 0.5 ml (twice a day).
All of our care products are safe for use on cats, dogs, birds, and other small animals like lizards, ferrets, and more. The formulation and ingredients of each supplement is the same however, the dosages will likely differ according to the weight of the pet.
What should I feed my pet with a compromised immune system?
Different health conditions can weaken the immune system, and many health conditions require specific diets. So depending on your pet’s unique needs, we recommend speaking to your vet about the most appropriate diet plan.
If you are interested in a personalized nutritional plan, you can consult with our holistic vet Dr. Amanda.
Would this product work for my cat with FIV?
Yes, it will help support your kitty’s immune health and promote gentle detoxification. For specific support for FIV, we recommend adding Felimm as well.
Felimm contains many natural plant extracts that help to bolster the body’s defenses against viral infections like FeLV and FIV.
