Mr Kroeske Sr. discovered that the use of natural herbs has numerous advantages.
Natural herbs:
contain vitamins, minerals and trace elements that can be absorbed quickly; act as a catalyst for the absorption of nutrients from feed; stimulate various organs and tissues, making them function more efficiently. Some ailments such as hip dysplasia (HD) are known to be hereditary, but it is also known that environment and nutrition play an important role in the development of the condition. Based on knowledge of the effects of herbs and awareness that nutrition can be an extremely important factor in the emergence of health problems, a practical study was initiated, and this led to the development of the product Hokamix30 seven years later.
Each herb has its own function
As is indicated in the name Hokamix30, this is a mixture of thirty different herbs, each with its own function(s) in the body. To give some examples, Solidago Virgaurea (European goldenrod) stimulates the kidneys and is effective in the case of urinary tract infections; Pimpinella Anisum (aniseed) aids digestion and combats intestinal cramps and flatulence, having a positive effect on the liver and gall; Urtica Dioica (stinging nettle) has a favourable effect on worn cartilage and helps to suppress allergies such as eczema; Lappa Major (great burdock) aids the release of waste products from the liver and kidneys, stimulates the release of digestive juices, and has an anti-histamine effect that is important for allergic skin complaints. These are just some of the herbs.
How does the combination of these herbs work?
Hokamix30 is not a vitamin and mineral preparation but is a mixture of different herbs. The advantage of this is that if the right dosage is used it can be given together with a complete feed (including premium and super-premium feeds). Other additives such as calcium and/or vitamin and mineral preparations are unnecessary, as the herbs themselves contain a diversity of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Herbs are not just for dogs
Herbal products are also available for other animals such as horses, cats, birds and carrier pigeons – and of course for humans too! If you would like more information, please contact us.
After the nutrients have been absorbed with the food, they are exposed to the mechanisms of the gastrointestinal tract and the digestive juices: collectively the digestive system. This enables the metabolic process, which takes place continuously in every cell of a plant or animal. Life itself is sustained by metabolism, which can be described as the absorption, transport and combustion of nutrients and the discharge of waste products.
How can we ensure that nutrients are utilized optimally?
Many problems often arise due to a dysfunctional metabolism, sometimes caused by poor digestion. This can result in impurities in the body due to the accumulation of waste products. One way to solve this problem is to switch to a different dog food that is more easily digestible (preferably in dinner form with a low protein percentage). This will reduce impurities within the body and a gradual improvement will be seen. At the same time Hokamix30 can be given to aid the removal of the impurities, the so-called detoxification.
In other words, the herbs in Hokamix30 stimulate digestion and metabolism in a specific way. The body cells function properly again and the balance is restored. The stomach and intestines can absorb the nutrients essential to the body via the digestive process and can replenish any vitamin, mineral or trace element deficiencies. The liver and kidneys function optimally and are consequently able to remove the waste products in the blood from the body. This allows the body to recover from the inside out.
When can Hokamix30 be used?
Although your dog may look outwardly healthy, it may eventually develop health problems due to the fact that it does not digest its daily food optimally. Hokamix30 is therefore beneficial to healthy dogs as well.
Hokamix30 can also be given in the following cases:
- Itching
- Skin disorders
- Scaly skin
- Persistent moulting
- Intestinal and metabolic disorders
- Weak tendons and ligaments
- Joint problems
