NUPEC® FELINE Hepatic
Formulated for the species-specific hepatic particularities of cats: high protein (28% DM) for the obligate carnivore, which cannot reduce its constitutive protein catabolism; mandatorily supplemented taurine due to its role in biliary conjugation; and methionine as a precursor of glutathione, the main endogenous hepatocellular antioxidant in felines. Also designed to reduce the risk of hepatic lipidosis — the most frequent and severe complication in feline liver disease — while avoiding excessive protein restriction. Silymarin serves as the central hepatoprotectant.

Warnings
Not recommended for pregnant or lactating females, or for growing kittens.
- A 100% species-specific formulation that recognizes cats cannot adapt their metabolism to fasting the way dogs can, and therefore does not aggressively restrict protein.
- High protein (min. 28% DM) designed to prevent hepatic lipidosis and sarcopenia, avoiding the classic mistake of restricting protein in feline patients.
- Taurine + methionine supplemented mandatorily — methionine as a precursor of glutathione, the most relevant endogenous hepatocellular antioxidant in cats, an approach that goes beyond taurine alone.
- Silymarin as the central hepatoprotectant, tailored to the particularities of the obligate carnivore.

CLINICAL DIFFERENTIATORS
DUAL COPPER CONTROL
- COPPER < 5 PPMPrevents accumulation and toxic effects, reducing hepatic inflammation and fibrosis
- ORGANIC ZINCA copper antagonist at the intestinal level
AMMONIA DETOXIFICATION
- ANIMAL PROTEINpreserves muscle mass and reduces the risk of hepatic lipidosis
- AMINO ACID PROFILEElevated BCAAs that reduce nitrogenous compounds
- SOLUBLE FIBERGenerates an acidic pH that converts ammonia into ammonium
ANTI-LIPIDOSIS ENERGY SUPPORT
- FISH OIL, COCONUT OIL, AND CHICKEN FATHighly palatable, highly digestible energy that covers nutritional requirements and prevents lipid mobilization
- L-CARNITINEPromotes the oxidation of free fatty acids in the liver and prevents their accumulation
HEPATOPROTECTION AND REGENERATION
- SILYMARIN 1000 PPMAn antioxidant that protects the hepatocyte, slows inflammation and fibrogenesis, and activates hepatocyte proliferation
- CHOLINEHelps prevent fat accumulation in the liver.
CLINICAL CHALLENGES AND NUTRITIONAL STRATEGY
Problem
Solution
Excessive protein restriction leads to muscle mass loss and malnutrition. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, excess protein can increase ammonia production and worsen clinical signs.
Highly digestible, high biological quality protein (egg and casein) to maintain muscle mass and nitrogen balance.
Maintaining an adequate, highly digestible energy supply to limit catabolism and preserve muscle mass in patients with reduced appetite.
High energy density (fish oil, coconut oil, chicken fat) and selected carbohydrates (rice and oats) that help adequately cover energy needs.
In liver diseases caused by copper accumulation or altered biliary excretion, copper builds up in hepatocytes, increasing oxidative stress and promoting inflammation, hepatocellular damage, and fibrosis.
Ingredients naturally low in copper, selected to keep total intake below 5 PPM, with controlled zinc levels that help limit intestinal absorption.
Persistent inflammation and oxidative stress promote hepatocellular damage, fibrosis progression, and loss of liver function.
EPA+DHA as modulators of the inflammatory response; choline and silymarin with antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity.

Any change in diet should be gradual. Mix the previous food with NUPEC® FELINO HEPATIC in a 3:1 ratio and gradually increase the amount. Keep in mind that each cat's nutritional needs vary depending on size, sex, breed, activity level, physiological stage, and ambient temperature. Consult your veterinarian.
