How the Canine Immune System Works

A dog’s immune system is a complex array of cells that are found throughout the body. Immune cells are designed to work in conjunction with other cells to provide a defense against unwanted invaders. The complexity of a dog’s immune system requires a multidimensional approach of nutritional factors. The nutritional support of the immune system is directed at facilitating normal function and is not intended to be suppressive or stimulating.

How Zinc Supports Canine Immune Health

Zinc plays a vital role in immune cell signaling. Zinc homeostasis influences immune cell activity, function, and development by directly influencing their formation or altering signal protein secretion.^1-6

How Kelp Supports the Canine Immune System

Kelp is a whole food source of iodine. Iodine is thought to support the function of immune cells.⁷ Iodine also indirectly possesses antioxidant activity.⁸
