FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CRONICARE OIL

What is hemp oil?
It is an ingredient obtained from Cannabis sativa plants with specific size, fibre and biochemical profile traits. Cronicare uses exclusively those Cannabis sativa varieties whose farming is allowed in the European Union. The oil obtained from these plants is an authorised raw material for animal feeding.

What does hemp oil contain?
The hemp used for producing CroniCare has a very complete nutrient profile for pets: different phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, fatty acids, antioxidants, minerals, B vitamins…

Why do you use full spectrum oil?
The full spectrum oil contains the complete profile of phytocannabinoids that are naturally present in hemp plants. The different phytocannabinoids help each other to be metabolised quicker in comparison with the same molecules on their own. This synergy is known as the Entourage effect.

How do phytocannabinoids act?
Phytocannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex regulatory structure of mammals that includes receptors, ligands (endocannabinoids) and synthesis and degradation enzymes. Two major receptor types have been described (CBR1 y CBR2), that are found in several tissues: the central and peripheral nervous system, immune system cells and tissues, liver, skin, digestive tract… Through them, the ECS participates in the maintenance of the homeostasis of a great variety of physiological processes.

Why does CroniCare Oil contain fish oil?
Fish oil is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, mainly EPA and DHA, that promote an optimal cognitive, cardiovascular and joint health.

What are the advantages of animal omega-3 fatty acids?
Cats and dogs have a limited ability to take advantage of plant omega-3 fatty acids. However, fish oil provides the omega-3 fatty acids that the body can use directly without the need of transforming them. This causes a quicker and more effective response.

What are medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)?
MCTs are a fraction of coconut oil used as a source of energy, supporting brain and cognitive function.
