Helps to protect the superficial layer of the epidermis, fur, and nails to aid in prevention of viral and fungal diseases.
The most important ingredients in SHaNa VetTM includesDocosanol and Tricontanol, which have been shown tohave anti-viral and anti-inflammatory activities. Clinicalstudies have shown that Docosanol inhibits infusionbetween envelope viruses, such as herpes simplex, andthe host cells, thus blocking entry and replication.Triacontanol (TRIA) has been known to exhibit anti-inflammatory action in animals and this anti-inflammatory effect of TRIA might be mediated throughinhibition of lipid peroxidation. Since LOX inhibitorshave been extensively used as their therapeutic agents,TRIA, being a natural compound has been suggested tobe an effective anti-inflammatory drug.
Shana contains plants, phytowaxes, and fatty alcohols that have anti-fungalproperties such as squalene, calendula, and triacontanol. Squalene is anatural lipid that is a precursor of cholesterol biosynthesis belonging to theterpenoid family and a precursor of cholesterol biosynthesis. Squalene issynthesized in humans, sharks, and a variety of organisms. Highintracellular fungal squalene concentrations are believed to interfere withfungal membrane function and cell wall synthesis.1 Calendula is flowerplant that contains esquiterpenes glycosides, saponins, xanthophylls, trioltriterpenes, and flavanoids. This plant has been studied in vitro anddemonstrated a wide spectrum against pathogenic fungi.2
