Block Canine Cancer Causing Free Radicals with Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a must-have antioxidant to help fight canine cancer. Vitamin E's advantage is that it is a fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting your dog's body against cancer in fats, e.g., cholesterol, and in cell fatty membranes, where much of cancer originates.

Cells that have lost an electron are called free radicals. They are unstable and take electrons from other cells to stabilize themselves. This process, called oxidation, causes damage to more cells, creating free radicals-resulting in more cancer cells.

Vitamin E provides the needed electron to these free radicals, preventing them from combining and creating more free radicals, thus, inhibiting cancer cell development.

Among other things it decomposes fatty acid hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxides, inhibiting the oxidation process and maintains cell membrane stability restricting cancer cell proliferation.

Vitamin E is added to most dog foods. However, vitamin E degrades quickly in dry and frozen foods, and thus vitamin E supplements are necessary. The recommended dosage is one capsule a day.

Vitamin E affects blood clotting and, thus should be stopped three days before surgery and resumed three days after surgery. In order to ensure the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy, we also recommend that vitamin E be discontinued three days before and resumed three days after treatment. We sell Vitamin E separately from our other supplements to offer you the flexibility to follow this schedule while providing other supplements to help your dog recover.
