Ingredients In Total-Biotics®and Total-Zymes® PLUS!

Here is a list of probiotics used in New! Total-Biotics® and Total-Zymes® PLUS for dogs and cats.
Now with more probiotics and higher CFU's. All AAFCO approved ingredients for safe use by dogs and cats.


• Lactobacillus Acidophilus: Acidophilus is the most effective pro-biotic strain. Called the "sticker strain," Acidophilus has the ability to actually cling to the intestinal wall without harming it. In fact, it is best known for its ability to move un-disrupted through the stomach and into the intestines where it eats away at the bad bacteria. It is known for reducing the occurrence of constipation and diarrhea, increasing nutrient uptake (especially calcium).
• Bifidobacterium bifidum- Is a normal inhabitant of the intestines. Found in large numbers, the numbers of bifidobacteria decrease with age. B. bifidum helps support the intestines and support regular bowel movements.
• Bacillus coagulans- Bacillus coagulans has been added by the EFSA to their Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) list] and has been approved for veterinary purposes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine, as well as by the European Union and is listed by AAFCO for use as a direct fed microbial in livestock production. It is often used in veterinary applications, especially as a probiotic in pigs, cattle, poultry, dog and cats.
• Bifidobacterium breve- Different species and/or strains of bifidobacteria may exert a range of beneficial health effects, including the regulation of intestinal microbial homeostasis.
• B. lactis (B. animalis )- is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium, which can be found in the large intestines of most mammals, including humans. Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium lactis were previously described as two distinct species. Presently, both are considered B. animalis with the subspecies Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies animalis and Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis. Both names B. animalis and B. lactis are still used on product labels, as this species is frequently used as a probiotic in pet products. .
• B. longum- Aids in the cleansing and health of the colon and liver.
• L. brevis- is a species of lactic acid bacteria, all of which are Gram-positive, non spore forming organisms whose main metabolic pathway involves fermenting hexose sugars to produce lactic acid. L. brevis can be isolated from the food sources in inhabits, one example being kimchi. This bacteria is probiotic, and supports the immune system.
• L. casei- Is known for its ability to support a healthy immune response that is helpful in supporting a healthy urinary tract
• L. plantarum- Can be found in naturally fermented foods. It is found in the large intestine where it helps to break down protein into usable nutrients. .
• L. reuteri- Is one of the more highly studied probiotic strains, primarily used in support of normal gastrointestinal health.
It also aids the body in balancing the normal flora ecology and supports a healthy urinary tract..
• Lactococcus lactis- Has been shown through research to produce a high amount of lactic acid, which is able to support a good gut and a normal intestinal flora.
• L. salivarius-Has been shown through research to produce a high amount of lactic acid, which can support a normal intestinal flora.
• E. Faecium- One of the major benefits of including Enterococcus faecium in probiotic formulas is that it’s uniquely suited to
survive the digestive process and flourish in the gut. It supports wellness in animals.
• L. Bulgaricus- Lactobacillus bulgaricus is one of several bacteria used for the production of yogurt. It is also found in other naturally fermented products.

Ingredients in Total-Zymes® PLUS Tabs
It contains all of the above probiotics Ingredients PLUS
Enzymes: Now 16 digestive enzymes:
• Protease 6.0- Is used to break down proteins to peptides. It will not digest protein to amino acids. A second enzyme is necessary for that to happen.
• Protease 3.0- Is used to break down proteins in a different PH range.
• Protease 4.5- Is used to break down proteins in a different PH range then the other two.
• Peptidase- Helps digest protein molecules. Four varieties of protease enzymes have been combined in this formula to compensate for the higher protein diets of pets.
• Amylase- An enzyme that breaks down sugars and starches. Good for those hidden sugars in pet treats. Also helps digest corn, potatoes, rice etc.
• Alpha-Galactosidase- This enzyme breaks down carbohydrates such as vegetables and whole grains.
• Beta-Glucanase- This enzyme is used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically starches.
• Diastase- (Sometimes called maltase) Is an enzyme that is the catalyst in the hydrolysis of disaccharide maltose to the simple sugar form - glucose.
• Lipase- Will digest only lipids or fats as they are commonly called. Lipase will not do anything to digest protein or carbohydrates.
• Cellulase- Works on Cellulose, an indigestible fiber found in many fruits and vegetables.
• Pectinase- Breaks down fruit and vegetable pectins and and facilitates the transportation of waste. A much needed enzyme for your pet. Your pet gets heavy metal build up just like we do, this enzyme helps rid your pet of theses metals.
• Phytase- Breaks down carbohydrates, specifically phytates in plants. It can increase mineral absorption and the bio-availability of iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. A needed enzyme to help digest pet food with potatoes or carrots ect. Some companies say you do not need this very important enzyme it was put into the formula because pet foods do have carbohydrates and this enzyme helps properly digest them.
• Hemicellulase- Is used to breakdown carbohydrates, especially polysaccharides such as hemicelluloses, which are found in plant foods.
• Bromelain- Is most notable for its effectiveness in normalizing inflammation and decreasing swelling. As a natural systemic enzyme with many uses.
• NEW! Lactase - Helping digest, Lactose and milk sugars. Lactase is required to break down lactose (a primary sugar found in mammalian milk). Also to help digest yogurt, milk products and cheese.
• NEW! Glucoamylase- Is used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically polysaccharides, simple sugars. Many new pet treats have hidden sugar.
