Nutritional support for dogs
Man’s best friend has specific nutritional needs. Life Extension’s Dog Mix provides the nutritional support dogs need to live healthy lives.
What Is Dog Mix?
Dogs have their own set of nutritional needs. They need carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water as part of a balanced diet, just like we do. But a lot of dog food isn’t designed with the optimal nutrients that they need to stay healthy. Our Dog Mix supplements your dog’s diet with nutrients to help protect and maintain their overall health.
The quality ingredients in our Dog Mix provide targeted nutrition to help promote and maintain your dog’s optimal health.
Dog Mix Benefits
- Enhances intestinal, metabolic & immune health with probiotics
- Helps maintain physical health & promotes healthy brain & kidney function with clinically-studied ingredients
- Contains carnitine to support healthy energy levels & body composition
Premium-Quality Ingredients for All
We believe that all customers deserve high-quality nutritional supplements made with premium-quality ingredients. That includes our furry friends. Our pet supplements contain ingredients that are held to the same standards as the rest of our products. We make sure your pet gets the same nutritional support we give you, because they are important, too.
Animals have different physiological and structural systems and, therefore, need specific food and nutrients to remain in optimal health. Pets are often considered family members deserving special attention. Filling that need, the pet food industry has grown tremendously over the years. The question is, are these products providing enough quality nutrients.
Man’s best friend
Dogs are omnivorous domesticated descendants of the Canis genus that now enjoy places of pride in our homes. Man’s best friend is a perfect companion that can live a long, active life if properly cared for. Just like human beings, dogs need carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water in a balanced diet to stay healthy. However, many unscrupulous manufacturers of low-quality dog foods produce products that may not be nutritionally ideal.
Like people, dogs are prone to nutrient deficiencies under suboptimal dietary intake. So they may benefit from certain supplemental nutrients.
Specific health needs
Carnitine is an essential nutrient biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine and found in meat. It is required for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for the generation of metabolic energy. It supports normal energy levels and healthy body composition and is important for heart health. Lipoic acid also provides mitochondrial support and may promote healthy brain aging in dogs. Vitamin E also has been shown to be important for physically active dogs’ health.
So how can you be sure that you are giving your pet premium nutrition? Besides high-quality commercial foods that are nutrient-enriched, food supplements are the best way to ensure your pets are getting all the vitamins and minerals they need to live long, healthy lives.
Targeted nutrition solution
Our Dog Mix helps protect and maintain your pet’s health. Just two scoops per day provide the vitamins your pet needs to stay healthy and strong. Dog Mix contains significant amounts of high-grade nutrients usually reserved for the most expensive human supplements. It contains flavonoids, amino acids, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, methylation enhancers and more. Research in dogs shows supplements with various combinations of similar nutrients promote healthy brain and kidney function and support physical fitness. In addition, Dog Mix contains probiotics to enhance intestinal, metabolic and immune health.
Many commercial pet foods do not contain all of the vitamins, amino acids, phytonutrients and advanced antioxidants found in Dog Mix. Our pet supplements contain the same premium-grade nutrients you rely on in all of our products.

Our purrfect nutrient mix for kitty
Everybody has nutritional needs, including your cat. Our high-quality pet supplement for cats provides nutritional support to help keep your pet healthy.
What Is Cat Mix?
Cats have their own nutritional needs to suit their systems, especially since (unlike modern domesticated dogs) they are carnivorous. With this comes many other dietary needs that may not be met by cat food alone. Supplementing your cat’s diet helps ensure that they’re getting enough vital nutrients to maintain overall health.
Your cat may not be getting enough essential nutrients from diet alone. Cat Mix helps maintain optimal nutrition.
Cat Mix Benefits
- Helps promote heart, kidney & eye health with taurine
- Contains arginine to support normal heart, kidney & pancreatic function as well as gut health
- Promotes cardiovascular health with B vitamins
- Encourages optimal health with high-quality ingredients
Premium-Quality Ingredients for All
Life Extension® believes that all customers deserve high-quality nutritional supplements made with premium-quality ingredients. That includes our furry friends. Our pet supplements contain ingredients held to the same standards as the rest of our products to ensure that your pet gets the same nutritional support we give you.
Animals have different physiological and structural systems and therefore need specific food and nutrients to remain in optimal health. Household pets are often considered family members who require special attention. Filling the need, the pet food industry has grown tremendously over the years. But you have to wonder if you are getting enough nutrients for your cat.
Special diet required
Cats have been domesticated since early times to catch rats and mice. Today, they are primarily household pets that, like dogs, require special attention when it comes to nutrition and care. Cats are carnivorous. But unlike dogs that can eat some plant-based foods, cats’ digestive systems are especially equipped to process animal protein.
Nutrients like taurine and arginine are important to a cat’s health. Taurine, for cats, is a must for heart, kidney and eye health. Arginine helps support detoxification of ammonia in cats’ kidneys and is also important for promoting optimal heart and pancreatic function and keeping the gut healthy. Arachidonic acid is an essential fatty acid for cats, since cats cannot convert significant quantities of linoleate to arachidonate. And, just like humans, cats need B vitamins to help support the cardiovascular system.
Cats also have problems metabolizing certain amino acids from other nutrients, like the conversion of niacin from tryptophan, or vitamin A from beta carotene. For that reason, cats have more stringent nutritional requirements than such omnivores as dogs and humans.

Immune & cardiovascular health, oxidative stress, bioavailability
Bio-Quercetin® uses a quercetin combined with fibers from fenugreek seeds to increase bioavailability. The result: a science-based quercetin supplement that far outclasses standard quercetin formulations.
What Is Bio-Quercetin?
Quercetin encourages heart health and supports a healthy immune response. But like many phytonutrients, quercetin isn’t easy to absorb. So we combined quercetin with fenugreek seed fibers to enhance "free" quercetin up to 18x (with up to 62x better total bioavailability) over standard quercetin formulas.
Looking for a quercetin supplement? Take the one that’s up to 62x more bioavailable. Now that’s a healthy decision!
Bio-Quercetin® Benefits
- Delivers 18x more bioavailable free quercetin (up to 62x better total bioavailability)*
- Promotes immune, cardiovascular & endothelial health
- Helps protect against oxidative stress & supports a healthy inflammatory response
*Than unformulated quercetin formulas
Why Should I Supplement With Bio-Quercetin?
- Encourage healthy cellular function
- Support cardiovascular & endothelial health
- Quercetin inhibits oxidative stress & helps promote a healthy inflammatory response
Clinically Studied for Greater Bioavailability
In a randomized clinical study, researchers compared the formulated Bio-Quercetin to unformulated quercetin. They found that the quercetin formulated with fenugreek fibers led to serum levels of total quercetin up to 62 times higher than unformulated quercetin, and 18 times higher levels of free (unconjugated) quercetin.1
Supports cardiovascular and endothelial health
Quercetin promotes both cardiovascular and endothelial health and helps maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range. Quercetin is also a potent inhibitor of oxidative stress and helps promote a healthy inflammatory response.
Promotes a Healthy Immune Response
Quercetin promotes a healthy immune response in the face of seasonal immune challenges. In a randomized clinical trial, quercetin encouraged a healthy immune response in physically fit older adults.

Digestive comfort, histamine metabolism support
Cheers to digestive comfort! If you experience occasional gas and stomach upset, as well as other gastrointestinal discomforts when enjoying wine, cured meats, cheese, fermented foods or citrus, you may have a sensitivity to dietary histamine. (Note: this is not the same as a food allergy.) Our formula helps you make friends with your food again by supporting the healthy breakdown of intestinal histamine to encourage gastrointestinal comfort.
What is Food Sensitivity Relief* with Diamine Oxidase (DAO)?
Digestive comfort may not always be on the menu when we pair a glass of wine (or beer) with snacks like cured meats, cheeses, citrus and fermented foods. Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase is formulated to help relieve occasional non-allergy digestive discomfort associated with dietary histamine sensitivity.
Make friends with your favorite foods again by encouraging healthy metabolism of histamine-rich foods like cured meats, cheeses and wine.
Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase
- Helps alleviate occasional gas and stomach upset, as well as other gastrointestinal discomforts
- Supports histamine metabolism for digestive comfort
- Provides support for when you snack on histamine-rich foods and drinks like cured meats, cheeses, wine
How to Stay Comfortable After You Eat
Cured meats, cheeses, wine, and other histamine-rich foods make for a delicious charcuterie board, but not everyone can digest these treats comfortably. Our plant-based DAO formula helps relieve occasional non-allergy digestive discomfort associated with intestinal dietary histamine sensitivity. One more thing: many DAO formulas utilize enzymes derived from animals—usually pork. But our formula uses diamine oxidase from pea sprouts. It’s got the same capacity to break down histamine as animal-based DAO…no pork bellies required.
What is a food sensitivity?
Short answer: a food sensitivity is when the body responds to compounds in the food you eat. A food sensitivity (sometimes referred to as a food intolerance) can cause occasional gastrointestinal discomfort, and is often difficult to identify. A food sensitivity is not an allergic reaction.
That said, non-allergy food sensitivities are more common than you think: currently, almost 20% of the Westernized world’s population experience some type of food intolerance.1 Histamine is a compound found in many foods and drinks that has been associated with food sensitivity.
Histamine is a compound found in many foods and drinks that has been associated with food sensitivity such as occasional gas, stomach upset, as well as other gastrointestinal discomforts.
Diamine oxidase in clinical studies
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is the main enzyme that supports the healthy breakdown of intestinal histamine and encourages gastrointestinal comfort.
In a randomized clinical trial, participants who took dietary DAO supplementation 20 minutes before a main meal for eight weeks reported relief from occasional gastrointestinal discomfort.
Research also points to the effectiveness of DAO supplements in inhibiting the incidence and intensity of discomfort due to occasional food sensitivity associated with intestinal dietary histamine sensitivity.
Plant-derived DAO
Many sources of supplementary DAO are derived from pig kidneys. But our formula provides pea sprouts derived DAO with equivalent capacity to break down histamine as used in clinical studies.
Make friends with your favorite foods again with Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase (DAO)!
FAQ
What is histamine?
Histamine is a compound that plays a role in the body’s immune response. It is released in the body and can be produced by gut bacteria. Histamine can also be found in or increased by many foods and drinks. Excessive levels of histamine in the gut can cause occasional gastrointestinal-related discomfort including gas and bloating. The body has several enzymes that help break down this compound.
What types of foods are considered histamine-rich?
Histamine-rich foods and drinks are very common. Some of these include cured and deli meats, different types of cheese, alcoholic beverages like wine and beer, oily fish and even certain fruits and vegetables like citrus, tomatoes and strawberries.
Is histamine sensitivity considered an allergy?
No, histamine sensitivities are considered a sensitivity to histamine ingested from foods. Food sensitivities are the body’s response to compounds in the food you eat, sometimes referred to as food intolerances. Sensitivities are not considered to be the same as an allergic reaction. They may manifest in the form of occasional gastrointestinal discomforts.
Does this product break down whole-body histamine?
No, this product is only intended to help support the breakdown of intestinal histamine associated with non-allergy histamine-food sensitivity.
What is diamine oxidase (DAO)?
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme produced by the body that breaks down histamine and is the primary way the body metabolizes histamine in the GI tract. Its activity is measured in HDU, or histamine degrading units. It can be more difficult for people with low levels of DAO to maintain a healthy balance of histamine.
What is in Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase (DAO)?
Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase contains 20,000 HDU of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), derived from pea sprouts. HDU stands for histamine degrading units and is a measure of enzyme activity.
Who is Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase intended for?
Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase is intended for those who need help breaking down and metabolizing histamine in the gut and alleviating occasional discomforts associated with dietary histamine sensitivity.
When can I expect an effect?
In a study of people who took DAO immediately after eating histamine-rich foods, benefits were seen immediately. More long-term effects were observed after taking DAO daily for 4-8 weeks. Everybody is unique, however, so the time it takes to notice benefits can vary from person to person. We suggest following the study duration to determine product efficacy.
When is the best time to take Food Sensitivity Relief with Diamine Oxidase? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
We suggest taking one capsule before your heaviest meals, up to three times daily.
Will this supplement interact with my medication?
There is no indication that the nutrient in this formula would negatively interact with prescription medications. However, we always suggest that you inform your physician of any supplements you are taking.
