Lecithin for Dogs: Gut Health, Bioavailability and Joint Support
Sunflower lecithin delivers phospholipids essential for cell membrane integrity, intestinal mucus barrier function and fat-soluble nutrient absorption in dogs. As a natural emulsifier in Bonza’s Bounce joint support supplement, lecithin enhances the bioavailability of lipophilic active ingredients including curcumin, Boswellia and ASU — ensuring these compounds reach the tissues where they are needed most.

Potato Starch for Dogs: Energy, Resistant Starch & Gut Health Benefits
Potato starch (Solanum tuberosum) is far more than a filler in your dog’s supplement. Its digestible fraction provides readily available glucose for energy, while its resistant starch fraction escapes digestion entirely — reaching the colon where it fuels butyrate-producing bacteria and supports gut barrier integrity. This evidence-based guide examines how both fractions contribute to your…

Potato fibre is a moderately fermentable, multi-component fibre that delivers prebiotic benefits through sustained short-chain fatty acid production and selective enrichment of beneficial gut bacteria in dogs. Canine research demonstrates linear increases in butyrate, acetate and propionate alongside increased Faecalibacterium abundance — without compromising nutrient digestibility or stool quality. Discover why this functional fibre does…

Flaxseed Oil for Dogs: Essential Omega-3, Skin & Coat Health and Anti-Inflammatory Support
Flaxseed oil is the richest plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — an essential omega-3 fatty acid dogs cannot produce and must obtain from their diet. Dogs convert ALA to the longer-chain omega-3s EPA and DPA within days, but cannot reliably produce DHA from ALA alone. In Bonza Boost Supplements, flaxseed oil at 45…
