Key Ingredients That Support the Blood-Brain Barrier
Recogry contains a carefully chosen blend of ingredients known for their brain-supporting properties, many of which can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a protective shield that regulates what enters the brain, and supporting its function is critical for cognitive health in aging pets. Key components include:
-
Astaxanthin (from Haematococcus pluvialis): A powerful antioxidant that improves blood flow to the brain by relaxing blood vessels. It also neutralises free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, and supports the health of blood vessel linings.
-
Phosphatidylserine: A phospholipid that maintains cell membrane integrity and may help improve age-related cognitive decline.
-
Alpha-GPC (Glycerophosphocholine): A precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning, helping enhance cognitive function.
-
DHA (from Algae Oil): An omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain health and development, particularly important for senior pets.
Additional botanicals like olive, coconut, sage, turmeric, and ginger provide complementary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.
What Makes Recogry Liquid Unique?
Unlike many pet supplements, Recogry uses a liposomal formulation to overcome the challenge of delivering nutrients to the brain. The phospholipid bilayer of liposomes mimics the lipid environment of the BBB, allowing active ingredients to merge with cells more easily than isolated compounds. This advanced delivery system helps ensure that key nutrients reach where they are needed most. The liquid format is easy to administer, especially for picky pets or those with difficulty swallowing pills. The bacon flavor is generally well-accepted, and the dropper allows for precise dosing.
How Recogry Supports Cognitive Health
As pets live longer thanks to advances in veterinary nutrition, age-related cognitive challenges are becoming more common. Recognising early signs of cognitive decline in dogs and cats can be difficult, but lifelong management and support are essential. Branvine Recogry is a liquid supplement designed to slow the progression of cognitive decline by delivering a unique blend of brain-supporting ingredients. It targets the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the protective shield that regulates what enters the brain. By supporting BBB function and using ingredients that can cross this barrier, the formula aims to maximize cognitive support. The liposomal delivery system mimics the lipid environment of biological membranes, enhancing absorption and bioavailability.
How to Choose the Right Cognitive Supplement for Your Pet
When selecting a cognitive support supplement, consider the following factors:
-
Ingredient Quality: Look for clinically-studied forms like phosphatidylserine and alpha-GPC, and natural sources like algae oil for DHA.
-
Delivery System: Liposomal formulations can improve absorption, which is critical for brain health.
-
Flavor and Palatability: A palatable liquid like Recogry with bacon flavor makes daily administration easier.
-
Manufacturing Standards: Choose supplements from reputable brands that follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Always consult with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially for pets with existing health conditions or those on medication.
Recommended Dosage for Dogs and Cats
Recogry comes with a dropper for easy dosing. The recommended dosage is based on your pet's weight. Always follow the instructions on the label or as advised by your veterinarian. For most dogs and cats, the typical dose is 1–2 droppers full daily, but you should adjust based on your pet's size and needs. Start with the lower end of the dosage range and monitor your pet's response. The liquid can be given directly into the mouth, mixed with food, or added to a treat.
Safety and Side Effects
Recogry is formulated with natural ingredients and is generally well-tolerated. However, as with any supplement, some pets may experience mild digestive upset. If you notice any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
