A low copper with increased zinc content aims to minimise intracellular copper accumulation and thus hepatocellular injury.

A low sodium intake helps decrease portal hypertension and reduces extravascular fluid loss.

Adapted energy levels help maintain bodyweight in dogs with hepatic failure. L-carnitine favours fat metabolism in the liver avoiding excessive protein catabolism.

The synergistic antioxidant complex reduces oxidative stress and helps neutralise free radicals.
