Structure/function statements

Our Beloved Friends describes how ingredients support the normal function of the body — for example mitochondrial health, cellular energy, or the normal function of immune cells. These are structure/function statements. They are not, and should not be read as, claims to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease in animals or humans.

Evidence and sources

Where we cite research, we do so to explain a compound’s mechanism and the stage of the evidence. Much of the strongest research for these compounds was conducted in humans or in animal models; we present it transparently and grade it, and we do not imply that a pet product reproduces the outcomes of a study it did not run. You can review our grading on the science page.

Not veterinary or medical advice

Nothing on this site is a substitute for professional advice. Consult a licensed veterinarian before giving any supplement to your pet, and a physician before starting any supplement yourself — especially if the animal or person is pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or has a medical condition.

Regional availability

Product availability, formulations, and permitted claims vary by market and are subject to local regulatory review before sale.
