{"product_id":"vc-2847","title":"Denamarin® Advanced Liver Health Supplement Hard Tablet","description":"\u003cp\u003eDenamarin (and the newer Denamarin Advanced) is a veterinary liver-support supplement combining S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) with silybin — the active flavonoid extracted from milk thistle. Manufactured by Nutramax Laboratories, it is the most widely recommended liver supplement in companion-animal practice and is often the first product veterinarians reach for when bloodwork shows elevated liver enzymes or when a dog or cat is starting a long-term medication that places stress on the liver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Denamarin is used for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeterinarians recommend Denamarin to support liver function in dogs and cats with elevated liver enzymes (ALT, ALP), chronic hepatitis, copper-associated liver disease, hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver) in cats, age-related decline in liver health, and as protective support during long-term drug therapy with medications such as phenobarbital, ketoconazole, lomustine, methimazole, or NSAIDs. SAMe acts as a precursor to glutathione — the liver's most important antioxidant — and silybin helps stabilize hepatocyte membranes against toxin-mediated damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDenamarin must be given on an \u003cstrong\u003eempty stomach\u003c\/strong\u003e for full absorption — at least one hour before food. Give the tablet whole; do not break, crush, or split the enteric-coated tablet, because the SAMe component is destroyed by stomach acid if the coating is broken. The most common reason Denamarin \"doesn't work\" is that it is given with food. Side effects are uncommon but can include mild GI upset. Use the dose appropriate for your pet's weight — Denamarin is sold in small (under 12 lb), medium (12–34 lb), large (35–65 lb), and extra-large (over 66 lb) sizes. Denamarin is a supplement, not a substitute for diagnosis — if your pet's liver values are abnormal, your veterinarian will want to determine the underlying cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmarty Vets dispenses authentic Nutramax Denamarin and Denamarin Advanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick \u003cstrong\u003eBuy on VetCove\u003c\/strong\u003e to order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denamarin® Advanced","offers":[{"title":"Cats and Small Dogs \/ 30 count bottle","offer_id":51858963202279,"sku":"102129","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4387\/8119\/files\/102129-1_296f4a50-d38a-49df-a61f-b47b452106ca.webp?v=1774103928","url":"https:\/\/www.smartyvets.com\/products\/vc-2847","provider":"Smarty Vets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
