Myelin Sheath for dogs and cats helps to rebuild and/or protect the myelin sheath in animals suffering with degenerative nerve conditions such as degenerative myelopathy. Myelin sheath glandular can help because it contains myelin basic protein which is an important protein component that comprises myelin. This can help rebuild the myelin sheath and protect it in the case of autoimmune attack.
Degenerative conditions in which an animal's own antibodies begin to attack nerve tissue can damage this important protein, a process called demyelination. When this damage occurs nerve signals do not travel from the brain down the spinal cord as they should. This leads to neurological deterioration and cognitive and motor skill dysfunction causing symptoms such as rear-end weakness, visual disturbances and urinary or fecal incontinence.
Consumers should be aware that suspected causes of demyelination include toxicity from heavy metals or pesticides linked to vaccinations, food or environmental contamination. Animals that have been vaccinated have higher levels of autoantibodies associated with autoimmune disease, so consumers should be very careful about over-vaccinating their pets.
What is the Myelin Sheath?
The myelin sheath is a white, fatty substance that surrounds nerve fibers forming an insulating and protective layer. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and without it nerve impulses are not efficiently transmitted between nerve cells. The loss of myelin leads to significant nerve dysfunction and slowed or blocked nerve conduction between the brain and the rest of the body. The production of the myelin sheath is called myelination and the loss of myelin as occurs with degenerative conditions is called demyelination.
Each bottle of Myelin Sheath contains 120 capsules which is a 2 - 4 month supply for smaller animals and a 1 - 2 month supply for larger animals when used at suggested minimum dosage.
New Zealand sourced Myelin Sheath (from bovine spinal cord 200 mg) and Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid 30 mg)
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose‚ Cellulose‚ Magnesium‚ Stearate‚ Silicon Dioxide.
About the Ingredients in this Formula
The nerves of your brain and spinal cord communicate on a regular basis. To do this‚ they need a way to make sure that the electrical signals or impulses they send are able to travel back and forth. That’s where the myelin sheath comes in handy: this layer of fat and protein surrounds the nerves and keeps them safe. It also allows impulses to travel along the nerves‚ which is important since these impulses are in charge of things like movement. Maintaining the myelin sheath helps ensure that you don’t have to worry about anything interfering with nerve impulses.
Taking a supplement that supports myelin sheath health may help reduce the risk of suffering from neurological problems associated with myelin damage or help to repair the degeneration of this very important tissue. The active ingredients in this formula include vitamin C‚ which may help limit free radical damage in nerves and keep them healthy. The body also uses vitamin C to repair damaged connective tissue‚ including myelin. In addition‚ this supplement also provides myelin sheath glandular‚ which provides myelin with the basic protein it requires.
Provide 1 - 2 capsules daily for smaller dogs (up to 35 lbs or so) and 2 - 4 capsules for larger animals (divided into morning and evening doses). This is a food and there is no set dosage . So if your animal is doing well on the current dose fine, if not you can safely increase dosage 4 times the suggested dose especially in larger animals.
Storage: Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture.

Rocky was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy and has been using the DM suggested supplements ever since his initial diagnosis. He also takes a few others that Maria recommended and I've been thoroughly pleased with all of the products. There are a few other companies that carry holistic medicine and supplements, but will not give you the same quality and care as they do here. Maria was extremely helpful on the phone and gave me all the advice I needed to help my boy. There is no cure for DM, but I know that I'm doing everything I can to provide him with the best quality of life and slow the progression. All of the supplements are easy to mix with his food and have been enough for him to be off all doctor prescribed medications. My vet was even impressed with the quality of the Myelin Sheath supplement. I'm happy to say that Rocky is still on his feet after his initial diagnosis in June 2016 (now March 2017) when the neurologist gave him 6 months - 1 year for the disease to take his life. Thank you for your excellent products and customer service!
