SKIN SAMURAI - MASTER BLEND SKIN, COAT and INFECTION DEFENSE for Dogs and Cats*

SKIN SAMURAI is used to help address conditional needs related to idiopathic (unknown) skin disorders as well as known conditions such as general dermatitis, atopic, allergic and contact dermatitis, skin allergies, rash, boils, internal ulcers, acne, external skin ulcerations, abscess, lesions, alopecia, abrasions, eczema, psoriasis, allergenic plant reactions and vitiligo; for itching, pain, discomfort, swelling and redness associated with wasp, mosquito, ant and bee bites; as a cellular and nerve protector; as a skin emollient and humectant; as a blood cleanser; as a topical pain reliever; general tonic (tones, balances, strengthens), and to help support balanced immune response.

Along with its plant based antibiotic and steroid content, its diverse broad spectrum plant actions are used in traditional medical systems for conditional skin needs related to allergens, antigens and pathogens including bacteria, virus, sepsis, microbes, fungi and yeast presentations (including E. coli, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Influenza, Candida, Aspergillus, Staphylococcus, Streptobacillus, Streptococcus, Helicobacter pylori, Brucella, pneumonia, and dysentery).

Some of the specific mechanisms of actions found in SKIN SAMURAI are related to its adaptogen herbal ingredients that may help modulate irregular cellular and allergenic processes found in all cases of dermatitis, eczema and psoriatic skin conditions due to an imbalance of naturally occurring chemicals found in the body known as leukotriene, PAF (platelet-activating factor) and endotoxins.

For some animals and people, abnormally high level of any/all either cause thickening of the skin and presence of lesions, or abnormally low levels of any/all lead to weakening of the skin and hair loss. Both extremes are accompanied by a lack of balanced immune response and persistent inflammation. Over time, the immune system loses its ability to distinguish between an invading allergen, pathogen or antigen, and begins to systemically attack the body's tissues, cells and organs, leading to more serious skin conditions and disorders.

The adaptogen herbal ingredients found in SKIN SAMURAI are efficient at helping identify excess leukotriene, PAF (platelet-activating factor) and endotoxins and work to help moderate the production and expression in tissues, cells and organs, and may help restrict production with use.

Its adaptogenic actions may help regulate immune response by down regulating excessive immune cell activity or up regulating an under performing immune system, toward balance. SKIN SAMURAI has also been studied for its potential actions to help stimulate collagen production and to possibly help reverse elastic fiber loss, a defect that is generally present in pets with ongoing skin and coat issues, and is required for healthy skin and coat.

In as early as 24 hours, SKIN SAMURAI may help promote skin, coat, follicle and cellular regeneration via its collagen production capabilities and blood purifying actions and may help promote proper lymph production and metabolic processes in the animal body. Collagen is the lattice like protein that makes up much of our pet's skin, coat, tissue, bone and connective tissue framework.

SKIN SAMURAI may be an invaluable addition to a pet's diet who suffers from idiopathic skin allergens and allergic atopic or contact dermatitis, as its plant actions moderate cellular inflammation that is triggered by excess mast and histamine response (allergen triggers) as its plant actions work to help block mast and histamine receptors.

Its anti-allergy actions have been studied to help reduce 48% of swelling and redness associated with allergic contact dermatitis and may help heal all types of skin disorders and skin wounds 10-20 faster than if nothing is used. It may help provide important layers of protection against sunburn, ultraviolet radiation, skin elasticity loss and skin tumors due to its significant plant actions to help inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha production.

The adaptogen herbs found in SKIN SAMURAI have also been studied for their direct actions on helping regulate proper immune cell response in the brain and may help limit both macro and micro inflammation in the brain. The same anti-inflammatory modulatory actions may be useful in cases of senile dementia and may help improve cognitive performance, may help increase blood supply and electrical impulses to the brain with potential brain cell regenerative actions.

Specific plant actions of SKIN SAMURAI include strongly antioxidant, immune modulator by selectively moderating overactive immune cells, antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-septic, anti-mutagenic (protects healthy cellular activity and help corrects irregular cellular activity), antipsoriatic, neuro protector, anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine, vulnerary (wound healer), collagen producer, anti-anaphylactic (stops allergic reactions),, anti-Candidal (yeast and Candida), anti-spasmodic (reduces spasmogens in lungs and smooth muscles throughout the body due to potassium maxi-K channels), analgesic (pain reliever) , digestive stimulant, and body system cleanser for environmental toxins and chemicals.
