"WHAT IS THE GLYCEMIC INDEX AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE IT LOW?"
A cat's natural diet has evolved to meet all its energy needs from animal protein and fat, almost without carbohydrates.All commercially available foods contain carbohydrates ranging from to , and this actually means unwanted calories.
Carbohydrates in traditional cereals, such as glucose, provide high energy that peaks the post-meal glycemic response. In these situations, the post-meal insulin response to glucose and the modulating ability of different types of 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. The GI for glucose and white bread is 100.
We Use Natural Fiber for Nutritional Balance in N D Cat Food
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 a key factor for intestinal peristalsis and is particularly used in treatments requiring reduced calorie intake.
- Pea fiber, with its high solubility, 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.
- Some specific prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), benefit the intestines by competing with and eliminating pathogenic bacteria and eliminating any toxins.
- Psyllium seeds are rich in absorbable fiber, ensuring optimal absorption in the digestive tract. They also support nutrient absorption and maintain regular stool consistency.
- When selecting the fiber blend to be used in each formula, , 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 Foods
Food Antioxidants not only protect food but also benefit pets when consumed: 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 initial cause of chronic and degenerative diseases. These protective antioxidants prevent cellular aging and reduce oxidative stress.
- TBHQ, BHA, and BHT are artificial antioxidants used in foods, and their effects on pet health are still under debate. Many studies have shown a link between the bodily values of these compounds, especially when consumed in high doses, and changes in pets' internal organs.
- We have decided to include only natural antioxidants in all our formulations. These antioxidants, derived from natural sources and added to our entire product range during both the storage of raw materials 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.
