ALL Animals! All animals are challenged by oxidative stress, which can do major damage to the body. Vital Defense is a beneficial, proactive, natural supplement to support vitality in ANY dog or cat, no matter which pet food you're feeding.

Vital Defense is especially beneficial to:

🐾 Aging Pets – Give your senior pet the support they need to maintain their energy, mobility, and overall health. Helps combat oxidative stress, which accelerates aging. Supports cellular repair & regeneration, promoting longevity. Aids in immune support to help older pets stay resilient.

Yes! Vital Defense is safe for regular, long-term use.

🐾 For senior pets or those with health concerns, it can be used continuously or rotated with other supplements for ongoing support. If your pet has been diagnosed with kidney disease, consult your veterinarian before use.

🐾 For young and healthy pets, we recommend using Vital Defense for at least one month, three times a year—especially during seasonal changes or stressful situations—to help maintain optimal cell health and resilience.

🌿 We generally recommend rotating between different supplements to provide a diverse range of superfoods and health benefits. The following supplements are great to rotate with Vital Defense for a well-rounded wellness plan: Phyto Synergy, Turkey Tail, and MycoDog Mushrooms!

Chaga and phytoplankton are both incredible on their own, but what makes Vital Defense truly exceptional is the precise formulation. Adored Beast carefully analyzed cell-based studies to determine the most effective ratios, ensuring maximum efficacy and synergy between the ingredients. While feeding them separately may still offer benefits, the proprietary blend in Vital Defense is designed to deliver the strongest, most targeted cellular support for your pet’s health and longevity.

Chaga has one of the highest natural amounts of oxalates. Some Chaga measures as high as 100mg/g. In contrast, the 'Vital Defense' Chaga powder has been tested at Dalhousie University and ranked very low overall for its oxalate content (between 6-12mg/g of Chaga).

To put that into context, a 25kg (55lb) dog would receive approximately 12-13mg of oxalates from a daily dose of Vital Defense.

That being said, most experts recommend avoiding foods/supplements with high oxalates. If your pet has oxalate crystals or stones or has kidney disease, we recommend speaking with your veterinarian first or using our turkey tail and phytoplankton instead.

Yes! While it feeds the ocean, phytoplankton isn't actually a fish, it's a cell. If your animal can’t have fish, phytoplankton is a great way to provide vital nutrients to the whole body!
