CHOLODIN is the original choline-loading dietary supplement formulated especially for geriatric dogs and cats. CHOLODIN contains sources of choline and phosphatidylcholine, two of the most common phospholipids. When present in sufficient dietary quantities, these components act as neurotransmitter precursors, which are chemicals manufactured and released by nerve cells that initiate the sending of "messages" from those cells. Occasionally, geriatric dogs and cats display clinical signs unexplainable by a specific pathological diagnosis. Examples include: Lethargy and reduced awareness of surroundings Poor coat; excessive shedding or thin, dry coat Chronic constipation or fecal incontinence Inappropriate urination Poor appetite; animal eats too little to maintain an adequate body weight Poor mental acuity For animals displaying one or more of these conditions, choline supplementation with CHOLODIN may be a very effective aid in treatment.
