Renal Advanced - purpose
Renal Advanced is recommended for use in feeding cats with chronic renal failure (CRF). The disease is characterized by a gradual decrease in the excretory function of the kidneys, as well as disruption of all types of metabolism. As a result of chronic renal failure, the animal’s kidneys are not able to sufficiently cleanse the body of toxins and waste, so the main job of removing harmful substances falls on the intestines. The substances that make up Renal Advanced activate the cat’s digestive system, reduce the content of harmful substances in the body, help increase diuresis (the amount of urine excreted by the kidneys), and increase the body’s resistance to various negative factors:
- infections;
- I will give;
- parasites.
Chronic renal failure in cats is an irreversible process. However, with the help of proper nutrition and proper treatment, it is possible to slow down the progression of the disease and prolong the life of your beloved pet.
Paste for cats Renal Advance
Despite the fact that the manufacturer of the paste is the same as the powder (Candioli, Italy), and its scope is the same - normalizing metabolism and increasing the body’s resistance to various infections by “stimulating” the immune system (resistance), the paste has a number of differences.
100 g of brown paste, packaged in disposable 15 ml dispensing syringes, in addition to vitamins, fructooligosaccharides, etc., contains excipients such as :
- pork liver extract – 14 g;
- sunflower or soybean oil – 11 g;
- glycerol monostearate – 4 g.
Your cat may have an allergic reaction to these components!
Therefore, you can start taking this restorative drug only after consulting a veterinarian, who will determine the possibility of allergies and prescribe the correct dosage for daily use in a serving of paste in the ratio ml/kg of your animal’s weight.
What beneficial substances are contained in the preparation?
Renal Advanced includes the following components:
- bifidobacteria - microorganisms that normalize intestinal microflora, improve the functioning of the digestive system and increase immunity;
- Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are sweeteners consisting of short chains of fructose. If simple carbohydrates begin to break down already in the upper part of the digestive tract, then FOS begins to be digested only in the colon. FOS are a kind of “food” for bifidobacteria. In addition, FOS improve calcium absorption, which is very important for the prevention of diseases of the cat’s musculoskeletal system.
- orange bioflavonoids - substances that improve the functioning of the circulatory system;
- folic acid, which is necessary to maintain vascular health, as well as normal absorption of amino acids. A sufficient level of folic acid in the body prevents the development of anemia, which is a common complication of chronic renal failure;
- vitamin C. Ascorbic acid has the following valuable properties: increases the body's defenses;
- improves blood circulation in the kidneys;
- normalizes the condition of bone tissue;
- is a powerful antioxidant, therefore protects the animal’s body from cancer;
- normalizes lipid and protein metabolism;
What does the miracle drug “Advance” contain?
The composition of the drug, as they say, is amazing:
Vitamins C, B-6, B-12
It is difficult to overestimate these “friends of the body”.
The cat needs them for:
- normal functioning and structure of bone and connective tissues;
- participate in the conversion of acids into easily digestible compounds by the body;
- prevent the appearance of stones and sand in the genitourinary system;
- reduce “bad” cholesterol;
- promote the production of transaminases (liver enzyme catalysts for the formation of amino acids);
- reduce the excitability of the central nervous system;
- increase tissue regeneration;
- Being antioxidants (especially vitamin C), they perform the functions of restoring metabolic processes.
Folic acid
Effect on the body of a cat:
- processed into coenzyme - ubiquinone, necessary for the functioning of every cell in the body;
- stimulates erythropoiesis (the process of hematopoiesis for the formation of red blood cells);
- takes an active part in the synthesis of amino and nucleic acids;
- promotes the production of purines and pyrimidines;
- participates in the exchange of choline and histidine.

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
Objectives of the FOS:
- stimulation of lacto- and bifidobacterial intestinal microflora;
- suppression of pathogenic bacteria and prevention of dysbiosis;
- improved absorption of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract;
- prevention of the development of gas formation (flatulence) and the development of putrefactive processes;
- normalization of bowel movements;
- nutrition of epithelial cells;
- removal of metabolic waste and toxins;
- increased calcium absorption;
- increased blood lipids;
- antiallergic effect;
- normalization of hormonal balance.
Hesperidin titration 40%
This plant flavonoid from citrus peels helps:
- permeability of the walls of blood vessels and their strengthening;
- improves the general condition of small and large capillaries;
- increases blood permeability;
- relaxes the smooth muscles of the bile ducts;
- reduces the effects of allergens;
- has pronounced antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Enterococcus faecium SF68 (Enterococcus faecium) 10 billion/g
Gram-positive lactic acid bacteria, naturally part of the intestinal microflora and digestive tract of cats and other mammals, including humans. The absence or sharp decrease of Enterococcus faecium can lead to the rapid death of the animal from infections of various etiologies.
Lactobacilli or lactobacilli (Lactobacillus acidophilus)
Another known name is bifidobacteria.
What do they do besides breaking down lactose and preventing the development of lactase deficiency??
- stimulate all the protective mechanisms of the cat’s body;
- increase the rate of regeneration of mucous membranes;
- activate phagocytosis (active absorption of foreign bacteria);
- promote the synthesis of lysozyme (antibacterial properties of saliva), interferons (a number of proteins that make cells immune to viruses), cytokines (increased immune responses of the body).

Lespedeza capitata 4% (vitamin P titration in dry extract)
The Lespedeza capitata plant is a nutritious addition to the food of all types of animals, including cats, promoting more complete absorption of food.

Reviews
Chronic renal failure - this diagnosis was made to our cat based on the results of biochemistry. The cat, always healthy, has never been sick with anything, but over the last year her fur began to gather in tangles, we did not pay any attention to it at first. But one day the cat became sad and stopped eating and vomited. Renal Advanced is a white medication that is prescribed to cats with chronic renal failure to improve the condition and support the kidneys. The feed additive Renal Advanced is excellent, it extended the life of our cat.
Alesya
Our pet was poisoned by a poisonous flower, the cat is very curious and loves to taste everything. Curiosity backfired on him, Kuzya found himself on the brink of life and death, what we had to go through then is something we wouldn’t wish on anyone. The cat was saved, but not without complications. Kidney problems started. We took tests, the results were sad, we were diagnosed with chronic renal failure. Thus, another jar has appeared in our medicine cabinet - Renal Advanced powder for oral use to improve the functional state of the kidneys in chronic renal failure in cats or dogs.

My eldest cat is eighteen years old. The age is, of course, respectable. Some time ago he stopped eating and almost stopped drinking. Looks like he's about to die. But you can’t get rid of us so easily; our beloved veterinarian prescribed the Italian complex feed additive Renal Evansed. The product turned out to be very expensive. A measuring spoon is included with the powder in the package. In addition to the diet, other procedures were, of course, carried out. A month of treatment has passed. Our cat began to show interest in food and his favorite scratching post. I recommend Renal Advanced, despite the price.
Time to use the drug: 1 month
