Some commercial therapeutic diets contain antioxidants,
mitochondrial cofactors, and omega - 3 fatty acids.
The use of antioxidants (vitamins E and C, fruits, and vegetables),
mitochondrial cofactors (e.g., Co-Q, S - adenosylmethionine or SAM - e), lipoic acid and carnitine, and nutriceuticals such as pyridoxine and ginkgo biloba have been shown to significantly improve cognitive function in aging dogs.
Hill's Prescription Diet B / D contains antioxidants (mixed tocopherols, vitamin C, beta - carotene, carotenoids, and flavenoids),
mitochondrial cofactors, and omega - 3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA).
