Antinol Plus Softgels Main Uses
Chronic Joint Support: Specifically used to manage signs of osteoarthritis and degenerative joint issues, which affect approximately 1 in 2 cats.
Mobility Enhancement: Helps alleviate "hidden" signs of feline pain, such as hesitating to jump, reduced grooming, difficulty using the litter box, or increased sleeping.
Skin and Coat Health: Promotes skin hydration and a glossy, scruffy-free coat through essential fatty acid support.
General Wellness: Functions as a natural anti-inflammatory for long-term vitality, particularly in senior cats or those unable to tolerate traditional NSAIDs.
 
Antinol Plus Softgels Active Ingredients
EAB-277™ (Enhanced Animal Blend): A patented, synergistic marine lipid concentrate consisting of:
30 mg Perna canaliculus (NZ Green-Lipped Mussel) oil: A pure, stabilized extract containing over 90 free fatty acids, including rare types like ETA.
20 mg Euphausia superba (Antarctic Krill) oil: High in phospholipids, which act as a delivery system to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of the mussel oil.
Mechanism of Action: Unlike standard fish oils, EAB-277™ provides a "full spectrum" of Omega-3s. The phospholipids in the krill oil help these fatty acids integrate directly into blood cell membranes, effectively modulating the cat's natural anti-inflammatory metabolism.
Antioxidants: Contains Astaxanthin, a powerful natural antioxidant that gives the softgels their distinct red color.
 
Antinol Plus Softgels Dosage & Administration
Loading Phase (First 15 Days): Administer 2 softgels daily (typically one with breakfast and one with dinner) to rapidly build up therapeutic levels.
Maintenance Dose (After Day 15):
Cats up to 10 kg (22 lbs): 1 softgel daily.
Cats over 10 kg (23 lbs+): 2 softgels daily.
Administration Methods:
Directly: Small "fish-tail" softgels are designed for high palatability; many cats take them by hand.
With Food: Place the whole capsule in wet food or hide it in a treat (tuna or pill pocket).
Oil Extraction: For picky eaters, snip the "tail" of the softgel and squeeze the oil directly onto the cat's food.
Timing: Can be given before, during, or after meals. Consistency is key for optimal results.
 
Antinol Plus Softgels Side Effects & Safety
Common Side Effects: Generally very well tolerated. As with any high-quality Omega-3, rare cases of mild gastrointestinal upset (soft stools) may occur if introduced too quickly.
Safety Warnings:
Allergy Note: Contains marine lipids and may contain trace amounts of tropomyosin protein; use caution in cats with known shellfish allergies.
Pregnancy/Lactation: Safe use in pregnant or lactating animals has not been established.
Storage: Store below 30°C. In hot Canadian summer months, refrigeration is recommended to prevent the softgels from sticking together.
