Arden Grange Light Chicken Rice - Adult at a glance: Maintenance of Optimum Weight Condition - With fewer calories, it can aid in weight reduction and the treatment of obesity; The addition of L-carnitine (an amino acid) helps to increase the conversion of fat to energy and helps maintain lean body mass. Fibre (from beet pulp and linseed) adds increased dietary bulk which aids satiety and avoids feelings of hunger. Digestive Health - Prebiotics may help to promote the beneficial intestinal flora and limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Nucleotides (natural short-chain proteins derived from yeast) may be of particular benefit to the overweight dog since they enhance metabolic function, allowing optimum levels of nutrients to be absorbed and utilised by the body.
