Glicegard 30 Nutrigen Tablets

Glicegard is a food supplement in tablet form developed to support normal metabolic function in dogs and cats. Its formula is designed to act in a targeted way on the well-being of animals that need specific support in the management of glucose metabolism and in the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Each tablet provides a synergistic combination of active ingredients specifically chosen to promote the physiological regulation of blood glucose levels. The supplement, thanks to its palatability, is easily administered, even to animals with difficult or sensitive tastes, and the practical division into tablets allows precise and personalized dosage for different sizes and conditions of dogs and cats. Glicegard is gluten-free, easily digestible, and can be administered either dry or crushed into food. It is particularly suitable for animals subjected to intense metabolic effort, in convalescence, or in need of daily support for the management of glucose metabolism even at an advanced age. It does not contain artificial colors or flavours, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring a high tolerability profile even in sensitive animals.

The composition of Glicegard is designed to perform a complete and continuous action: in addition to supporting metabolic function, the components are selected to support the immune system and contribute to the body's antioxidant defense, thus promoting the general well-being of the animal. 

Therapeutic Indications

Glicegard is intended for dogs and cats that need support in the normal function of glucose metabolism, both to maintain physiological homeostasis and to assist any veterinary therapies in progress. It can be used as an adjuvant in animals with alterations in glucose metabolism, such as those with a tendency to hyperglycemia, or in elderly subjects whose metabolic function is reduced for age-related reasons. Thanks to the combined action of the ingredients, it is a valid ally for those animals that must maintain stable blood sugar control, especially in the case of low-carbohydrate diets or specific diets. It is also recommended during the convalescence phase from illnesses that negatively impact the use of glucose and energy metabolism. Use is particularly recommended in: animals with reduced vitality due to metabolic imbalances; animals predisposed to glycemic problems; in all those cases where the veterinarian deems targeted and constant support necessary. The association with a balanced diet and physical activity can improve its overall effectiveness.

Composition

Active ingredients: The Glicegard formula includes titrated plant extracts, amino acids, B group vitamins and minerals with specific actions on pancreatic function and glucose metabolism. Among the main components, the following should be highlighted: Gymnema sylvestre extract, known for its contribution to blood sugar control; lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant that supports energy metabolism and helps counteract oxidative stress; chromium picolinate, fundamental for the physiological use of glucose at a cellular level. The mixture is enriched by vitamins such as B6, which is very useful for the metabolism of proteins and sugars, and vitamin E, which has an antioxidant action by protecting cell membranes. There are also natural compounds useful for the regulation of metabolic processes, which contribute globally to the proper functioning of the organs involved in the assimilation of sugars, such as the pancreas and liver.

The supplement does not contain doping substances and is formulated without the addition of colourants, artificial preservatives or potentially allergenic protein sources. The excipients are selected both to encourage the animal's compliance and to guarantee perfect assimilation of the active ingredients. Each tablet represents a balanced source of nutrients, ensuring maximum quality and safety for daily intake.

Contraindications

Do not administer Glicegard in case of known hypersensitivity to one or more ingredients included in the composition. If adverse reactions such as vomiting, diarrhoea, suspicious lethargy or suspicious skin manifestations should arise during use, stop administration immediately and consult your veterinarian. Avoid use in severely debilitated subjects or those with serious liver or kidney disease, unless under strict veterinary supervision. The use during pregnancy or in lactating animals must be carefully evaluated by the veterinarian, considering the potential benefits compared to possible risks. Concomitant use with other supplements or drugs with similar action on glucose metabolism is not recommended, unless specifically prescribed by a veterinary surgeon, to avoid potential negative interactions between active ingredients. In the presence of chronic pathologies or ongoing pharmacological treatments, always consult your veterinarian to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Keep out of reach of children.

Safety of the drug for the species

Glicegard was developed specifically for dogs and cats, with particular attention to animal tolerability even in the case of prolonged administration. The ingredients present are titrated and tested for proven safety even in the most sensitive subjects. During preclinical studies, no harmful interactions between the active ingredients were detected, nor significant side effects when administered in accordance with the recommendations. The tablets are well tolerated even in subjects with a predisposition to food intolerances, thanks to the absence of common allergens and gluten. The toxicity of the active ingredients used is extremely low at the proposed doses, however it is always advisable to respect the suggested dosage and consult your veterinarian before changing supplementation plans. If the product is accidentally ingested in large quantities, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian. The supplement can also be taken for prolonged periods, without risk of accumulation of substances harmful to the body, it being understood that any change to the diet should always be supervised by a specialist.

Precautions

Use Glicegard following your vet's instructions and scrupulously adhering to the reported dosage. Do not exceed the daily administration and do not administer the product if the packaging is damaged or the tablets altered. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light, to avoid alteration of the active ingredients. Avoid contact of the tablets with water or moist food until administration. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the tablets, especially if you have a known sensitivity to the ingredients. In subjects predisposed to digestive problems, it is advisable to introduce the supplement gradually to help the body adapt. Any suspensions or changes in dosage must be evaluated by the veterinarian based on the individual response of the animal. Concomitant use with other products with metabolic activity must be managed under medical supervision to avoid excesses of nutrients or interferences. Do not leave the product exposed to or within reach of children or animals not receiving the supplement.

Method of administration

Glicegard tablets can be administered whole directly into the mouth or, if necessary, crushed and added to the animal's usual meal. The palatability of the product facilitates its administration even to the most demanding animals. To optimize the absorption of the active ingredients, it is recommended to administer the supplement with the morning meal. If administering to multiple animals within the same home, ensure that each receives the correct individual dose. The duration of treatment and dosage should be determined by the veterinarian based on the size, weight and clinical condition of the animal. It is recommended not to exceed the recommended daily dose without prior medical indication. In animals with difficulty in oral intake, the tablet can be crushed and mixed with particularly pleasant foods. Do not suddenly stop supplementation without consulting a veterinary surgeon, especially in the presence of chronic conditions or metabolic problems stabilized by the product.

Treatment program

The recommended treatment program with Glicegard involves daily administration for as long as indicated by the veterinarian. In the initial phase, it may be appropriate to combine Glicegard with other specific veterinary interventions, and then possibly continue with supplements alone for maintenance purposes. For elderly animals or those with impaired carbohydrate metabolism, treatment can be continuous and prolonged over time, following periodic evaluation of the clinical response and blood chemistry tests. In young or adult subjects with transitory needs, the supplementation cycle can vary from a few weeks to a few months, at the discretion of the veterinarian. The effectiveness of the supplement is evident already during the first days of treatment, with an improvement in general tone and glycemic regulation, but it is advisable to continue its use in phases of greater metabolic demand or as needed, according to the individual situation. The veterinarian may suggest modifications or temporary suspensions based on follow-up tests or changes in the animal's lifestyle.

Target species

Glicegard 30 Nutrigen Tablets is formulated for dogs and cats of all breeds and all ages, regardless of size or lifestyle. It is suitable for both young, adult or elderly animals, and is a valid support even in conditions of metabolic stress, convalescence or seasonal changes which can cause temporary alterations in glycemic values. The supplement can be used on veterinary advice both in healthy animals in prevention and as support during therapy or maintenance for subjects who already have metabolic alterations. Thanks to its tolerability, it can also be used in puppies, following the suggested doses and after medical evaluation. Animals that follow particular dietary regimes or that need to improve energy management will be able to benefit from the properties of Glicegard, integrating them safely and effectively into their daily routine.
