{"product_id":"maxi-guard-oral-orazn-gel","title":"Maxi\/Guard Oral OraZn Gel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMAXI\/GUARD OraZn is the first home dental care product for dogs, cats, and exotics offering neutralized zinc (pH 7) in hydrogel form. Neutralized zinc is a combination of select amino acids and zinc. Taurine and zinc gluconate form a complex bond that inhibits the precipitation of zinc in the neutral pH (6.7-7.0) range and the hydrogel adds mucoadhesion. In this narrow pH range an oral zinc preparation delivers increased bioavailability. Many veterinarians have experienced the unique topical benefits of Zn7 Derm. Zn7 is one of todays most popular dermatological topicals. OraZn is Zn7 for the oral cavity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e2 oz soft squeeze bottles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Does It Work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is an essential trace element and a component of about 300 metallo-enzyme systems. Many of these enzymes play key roles in extra-cellular matrix remodeling, gingival healing, connective tissue repair, inflammation and cell proliferation for repair processes. With increased bioavailability, the zinc readily permeates plaque and oxidizes anaerobic bacteria. Taurine chelates with sulfur compounds and absorbs malodorous activity eliminating halitosis.

Cats and dogs require a certain amount of zinc from the diet daily. A healthy pet can consume recommended amounts of daily OraZn or MAXI\/GUARD Oral Cleansing Gel without harm. Any excess zinc entering the body is excreted back into the GI tract while a smaller fraction is excreted by the kidneys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany home care dental products contain chlorhexidine. Published veterinary dental research has demonstrated that regular chlorhexidine use can increase the rate of mineralization plaque (calculus formation), stain the teeth brown, and decrease the patient’s sense of taste. OraZn does not contain chlorhexidine and does not have these side effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTolerability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOraZn is taste free with a neutral pH (6.7-7.0) and provides excellent pet acceptance.
