Product Details
What is Epakitin Powder?
Epakitin is a nutritional supplement powder for dogs and cats that helps support kidney function and also limits phosphorus absorption from the intestines.
For:
Dogs and Cats
Benefits:
- Palatable easy-to-administer powder
- Helps support kidney (renal) function
How does Epakitin work?
Epakitin's active ingredient, chitosan, is a natural polysaccharide derived from shells of shrimp and crab. This ingredient naturally binds phosphorus, which limits the absorption of phosphorus from the intestines. This limitation helps pets with chronic kidney (renal) disease by slowing down damage caused by the disease.
Cautions:
Consult your veterinarian before using Epakitin. Tell your veterinarian if your pet is currently being given medications or supplements for kidney disease or calcium/phosphorus regulation, such as Calcitrol.

Breed cat
I am convinced that this Epakitin powder is saving my cat's life. He has remained stable for 3 years with early renal disease. My vet says that is great! I also give him Asodyl each day. The combination was recommended by a leading renal specialist and it is amazing! Healthy and happy cat. Very playful and looks great!

Brought kidney levels down
We had a 18 yr. old male kitty come down with kidney failure. His BUN and Creatine levels were off the chart and the vet. recommended immediate sub Q fluids. I went to a different vet. that very same day and he agreed the levels were extremely high but didn't see the need for subQ's. He introduced Epakitin and for a month we religiously gave him the proper dose. His next blood check showed his BUN and creatine levels down to at almost normal. We kept him on this for 3 more years. He passed from old age, stroke and possible kidney failure. It has no taste or scent. I swear by it

The numbers don't lie :)
Last April our 14 year old chocolate lab was diagnosed with renal disease with approx 25% kidney function. By June it had dropped to approx 13% function. He was then started on Epakitin and was retested yesterday (approx 4 months after starting the product). We just got the call . . . his numbers have not changed since his June test. We are thrilled to say the least!!

Product is Awesome!
19-yr. old cat was diagnosed with kidney disease 18 mo. ago. Bloodwork numbers were going down (bad). A friend recommended Epakitin. Within 2 days, the cat got up off the sofa, started eating, he's gained weight, and got back to living again! Best of all, bloodwork numbers WENT UP (vet was amazed)!! I never ever thought this stuff would work, but it did!!! SO SO SO glad I bought this product, I highly recommend it!!

Wonderful
After my adopted cat was diagnosed with renal failure, this was prescribed. Just 1 spoonful mixed in with her food has brought great results. After only one week, she has put on one ounce! This is definitely a step in the right direction. This supplement works!

Remarkable product...a lifesaver
Buttercup was diagnosed with severe kidney failure in Spring of 2010 and i was told that I should probably put her down....she was only 6 years old and by the time they had her stabilized and diagnosed I was $1200 in. I had the choice of having a $1200 dead cat or seeing her through and hoping for the best. While the total initial care rose to about 3x that amount and the special food and meds have added a few thousand more over the time since then, she is now nearly 10 years old and her kidney failure has gone from severe down to moderate....very rare for that to happen I am told. The only meds she has been on that entire time is Epikitin....so needless to say, it come HIGHLY recommended by me. I am very grateful for the extra time I have had with my sweetie Buttercup

My cat's vet prescribed epakitin for my 16 year old cat after his test results showed his phosphorous levels were above normal. he has chronic kidney disease. After about 2 weeks of daily use twice a day, went for a recheck and the phosphorous levels are now normal.
6/14/2013: Phosphorus 9.200 mg/dL
6/29/2013: Phosphorus 5.7 mg/dL
normal range is 2.400 - 8.200 mg/dL
