Mannan Oligosacharrides or
MOS are substances extracted from yeasts with a process called
hydrolyzing. The yeasts are saturated in water and the MOS can then
be harvested from the yeasts.
You may not have heard of
MOS but they have been around for a while and they provide
significant health advantages for your dogs. First off, when female
dogs have puppies, it has been shown that there are lowered mortality
rates and heavier birth rates of newborns.
There are also levels of
protection in the gut that seems to coat the gut lining and prevent
pathogens from attaching to the wall of the digestive system and
colonizing and growing in number. This is important because bacteria
like salmonella is present almost everywhere but is a levels low
enough that they do no harm and this stops them from growing in
numbers in the digestive tract and preventing dangerous breaks.
The third benefit is that
when salmonella is present in a dog food, MOS acts as a binder to
salmonella bacteria as it ties it up and does not do the level of
harm that it could. Some dog food companies put a type of clay in
dog food to serve as a binder for bacteria but this is not very
effective because the clay has limited absorptive surfaces and is
non-nutritional, that is, it has no food value.
MOS has much better
absorptive qualities and carries some nutritional benefits with it.
Triad Performance Supplement from Build A Better Dog contains MOS and this is a key benefit that
you will not find in almost any other canine supplement or food
product.
