Description
PROTEXIN® PRO-KOLIN ENTEROGENIC contains the same probiotics and Preplex prebiotics that can be found in other products in the Protexin companion animal range.
In addition, Pro-Kolin Enterogenic also contains other prebiotics that can influence the immune system by improving the strength of the mucosal barrier (the barrier that separates the inside of the GI tract from the rest of the body).
Pro-Kolin Enterogenic has been formulated for pets and animals that have had a digestive upset continuously or intermittently for a period of 3 weeks or more.
Properties
PROTEXIN® Pro-Kolin Enterogenic contains specially seleced ingredients that act to reinforce the intestinal mucosal barrier and normalise the balance of friendly bacteria in the gut.
Pro-Kolin Enterogenic contains:
- Alpha-glucan butyrogenic
A resistant starch that is fermented by the resident microflora to produce butyrate (a short-chain fatty acid) which is the preferred energy source for colonocytes (the cells lining the large intestine). - MPS Protect
A mucopolysaccharide that reinforces the intestinal mucin. - Probiotics
The EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/ NCIMB 10415) 4b1707. - Prebiotics
A food source for beneficial bacteria. Pro-Kolin Enterogenic contains Preplex prebiotic (fructo-oligosaccharide and Gum arabic), mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) and beta-glucans. - Artificial beef flavouring
To improve palatability and compliance.

Directions
Pro-Kolin Enterogenic is presented as sachets of powder. The contents of the sachet should be mixed with the daily food and eaten within 6 hours. If mixing with dry food, a small amount of water can be added to encourage the powder to stick to the biscuits/kibble. Alternatively the powder can be mixed with water but please be advised that the powder does not dissolve fully in water.

Add to the daily food.
It is recommended that Pro-Kolin Enterogenic js used for a minimum of 30 days, as this is when the maximum level of the short-chain fatty acid, butyrate, is produced. Some improvement from days 7-14 will still be seen since this is when the bacterial population will start to change and the MPS Protect will begin to have its effects.
Pro-Kolin Enterogenic can be used for as long as considered necessary by your veterinary surgeon and in some situations this may be indefinitely.
