Select Antioxidant formula was developed by a team of nutritional scientists and clinically tested with proven results.
Select is loaded with beneficial vitamins, chelated minerals, riboflavin, amino and fatty acids. Select includes over
74 antioxidants which are designed to work
synergistically together to help protect your pet from harmful free radicals.
Many nutritional pet products have beneficial ingredients and antioxidants, but, they aren't as effective as Select
because they have not been manufactured properly to have their ingredients work together
synergistically, like the makers of Select
have done. Select tablets are chewable, contain 100% natural ingredients, and are highly palatable.
We give all our dogs and cats, young and old alike, Select Antioxidant.

Understanding Pet Supplement Terms Including Synergy, Chelated Minerals, Antioxidant and Free Radicals
Free Radicals -
Unstable molecules produced by the body through the bonding and splitting process of molecules.
As "unstable" molecules, free radicals will attempt to become more stable by
"stealing" an electron from a neighboring healthy cell. Unfortunately, when an electron is stolen from the
healthy cell, the healthy cell will now be damaged and unstable itself.
Some free radical production is a normal body process, and on occasion, the
body’s immune system will purposefully create them to neutralize threatening viruses and bacteria.
However, excessive free-radical production or build up can cause cell damage and other ill effects.
There are several factors that can cause excess free radical build up in the body, including the normal aging process,
pollution and toxins in the environment.
Antioxidant -
Beneficial molecules that help rid the body of harmful free radicals. A free radical can cause damage to previously healthy cells by stealing an
electron from them. Antioxidants like Vitamins E and C,
neutralize free radicals by giving them one of their own electrons, therefore making the free radical "stable"
and ending its need to steal an electron from a neighboring healthy cell.
Antioxidants themselves don’t become free radicals or unstable molecules by
donating an electron because
they are stable
with or without the extra atom. Everybody wins.
Synergistic -
The ability of ingredients to work together for more effective results.
It is the combination of ingredients that give a synergistic product it's effectiveness,
rather than just the presence of each one individually. For instance, Vitamin C is often a good catalyst for glucosamine,
and consequently makes the glucosamine even more effective.
Chelated Minerals -
Chelation is the pharmaceutical process of bonding a mineral to an amino acid to make it easier for the
body to digest, assimilate and utilize it. Chelated minerals, or chelates for short, are designed to mimic
the way minerals occur naturally in the diet too. Chelated minerals are good thing for a pet supplement to have.
