Ipakitine Phosphate Reducer

Ipakitine Phosphate Reducer Aiding Kidney Function

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of phosphate reduction in cats and dogs suffering from kidney failure and it is now widely accepted that there is a direct link between the length and quality of life of a cat or dog with kidney failure and the amount of phosphates they get through their food.

Ipakitine Powder is: Palatable- an alternative for cats / dogs that refuse to eat special diets. Older cats in particular can be very reluctant to change diets. Easy to use- mix Ipakitine with food or sprinkle onto on foodtop. Cost effective- one 60g pot of Ipakitine lasts over 25 days for a 5kg cat. Flexible and compatible- Ipakitine can be used on its own or in combination with special diets and other kidney insufficiency management options

The ingredients in Ipakitine act as phosphate binding agents and lower the absorption of phosphates from the intestines. Thus, in respect of phosphate restriction they can mimic or enhance the effects of a phosphate restricted food. There is also a reduction in the absorption of some uraemic toxins that can affect normal kidney function. Through this double action, Ipakitine supports normal kidney function.
