"WHAT IS THE GLYCEMIC INDEX AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A LOW INDEX?"
The natural diet of cats has evolved to meet all their energy needs from animal protein and fat, virtually carbohydrate-free.All commercially available foods contain carbohydrates ranging from to , which actually represent unwanted calories.The carbohydrates in traditional grains provide high energy, such as glucose, which increases the post-meal glycemic response. In these cases, the postprandial insulin response to glucose and the modulating ability of various carbohydrates are critical.
What is Glycemic?
- GlycemicThe Glycemic Index (GI) is a scale from 1 to 100. The lower the score, the slower the food raises a person's blood sugar level. Glucose and white bread have a GI of 100.
We Use Natural Fibers for Nutritional Balance in N D Cat Foods
Consuming the right amount of fiber in a balanced diet plays an important role in regulating bowel movements and also affects the absorption of various nutrients. The main sources of fiber in cat food products are beet pulp, pea fiber, pure cellulose, and dried alfalfa.
Used by the Italians
- Beet pulp supports bowel movements and ensures regular stool consistency.
- Pure cellulose, used in some dietary formulas, is the main source of insoluble fiber. It is an essential factor for intestinal peristalsis and is especially used in treatments requiring reduced calorie intake.
- Highly soluble pea fiber forms a mass that slows intestinal transit and facilitates the absorption of micronutrients.
- Dried alfalfa is a good source of micronutrients such as carotene and calcium.
- Special prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), compete with and eliminate pathogenic bacteria, thus benefiting the intestines.
- Psyllium seeds are rich in absorbable fiber and ensure optimal absorption in the digestive system. They also support nutrient absorption and maintain regular stool consistency.
- When selecting the fiber blend to use in each formula, the company takes into consideration the physiological and pathological conditions to which pets are prone, as well as the pathological conditions to which specific breeds are prone.

We Use Natural Antioxidants in N D Cat Food
Food Antioxidants not only protect the food but also benefit pets when they eat it: antioxidant levels in the body reduce the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals, such as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), often cause oxidative damage, which is the onset of chronic and degenerative diseases. These protective antioxidants prevent cellular aging and reduce oxidative stress.
- TBHQ, BHA, and BHT are synthetic antioxidants used in food, and their effects on pet health are still under debate. Many studies have shown a link between the levels of these compounds in the body, especially when consumed in high doses, and certain changes in the internal organs of pets.
- We've decided to add only natural antioxidants to all our formulations. These antioxidants, derived from natural sources and added to our entire product range during both raw material storage and the final product, include: carotenoids, retinoids (Vitamin A), bioflavonoids (citrine), polyphenols (hydroxytyrosol), tocopherols (Vitamin E), and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). Many fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants.
Organoleptic Additives
