HEALTH BENEFITS
WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE
The ancestral diet of dogs is characterized by an average consumption of 52% protein, 47% fat and 1% carbohydrates of ME (metabolizable energy). Cats’ natural diet comprises 52% protein, 46% fat and 2% carbohydrates. According to AAFCO, the minimum recommended allowance of crude protein, as percentage of the daily nutrient intake, is 18% for adult dogs and 26% for cats. Commercial pet foods contain between 18-34% protein; more protein than the minimum recommended amount. However, since protein is the most expensive macronutrient, many of these foods unfortunately contain poor quality, incomplete protein sources which often are not digested well. Insufficient protein or poor-quality protein diets may predispose the animal to poor condition, muscle wasting, osteoporosis, impaired recovery after injury or training, and decreased mental ability. Protein-rich diets have multiple health benefits, promote a healthy body condition, and help to maintain general well-being.
WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE is a natural constituent of milk. It is considered a complete protein source, containing all amino acids required for healthy physiological function. Protein is an essential component of all living cells, and a substrate for a multitude of physiological processes. Whey Protein have significant anti-inflammatory-, antioxidant-, and immune-modulating properties. It:
- enhances protection against toxins, viruses, and bacteria,
- reduces the risk of various cancers,
- promotes cardiovascular-, liver-, digestive- and hormonal health,
- maintains healthy skin and bone,
- supports healthy body weight,
- promotes a sense of well-being, and
- stimulates muscle regeneration and functional adaptation.
- Whey protein contains amino acids which form vital structural components in muscle cells, ligaments and tendons. It is rich in amino acid leucine, which helps to reduce muscle breakdown under stressful conditions, and stimulate muscle protein synthesis4. Sufficient protein enables your pet to improve muscle composition and physical strength, especially when combined with regular exercise. Whey protein promotes a leaner, muscular, and healthy body condition. 1-5
BCAA
BCAA’s are essential amino acids, Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. They are rapidly absorbed and metabolised in muscle tissue where they have a pronounced effect on muscle function, regeneration and muscle mass.
BCAA’s supports physical and mental performance by:
- Enhancing mental and physical energy, through its availability as fuel substrate for the brain and muscles, sparing muscle glycogen as fuel for high intensity activity, and promoting fat metabolism as fuel for active muscles. These benefits enhance endurance capacity and physical performance11,12.
- Inhibiting muscle degeneration: BCAA’s helps to minimize the production of stress-induced cortisol and inflammatory mediators, protecting against inflammatory muscle degeneration and age-related muscle wasting6,13.
- Stimulating muscle cell recovery and hypertrophy: BCAA’s stimulate adaptive responses in skeletal muscle in response to physical activity, enhancing muscle strength and size7-10.
- Supporting immune function: BCAA’s are fuel substrates for immune cells, and are essential for immune cell development and responsiveness. During catabolic states (injury, illness, infection, ageing, intensive physical activity) the body’s requirement of protein and amino acids significantly increases. If there is a sub-optimal supply of amino acids, susceptibility to infections are increased. An adequate supply of BCAA’s is therefore necessary to support and strengthen immune function during challenging conditions.
SIBERIAN GINSENG
SIBERIAN GINSENG root is an exceptional adaptogen, and is valued as one of the highest esteemed medicinal plants. An adaptogen can be described as a substance which exhibits a non-specific enhancement in the body’s defence systems against external and internal stress factors. It increases the body’s resistance to stress, fatigue and disease, and establishes biological homeostasis, with minimal side effects.
Siberian Ginseng’s adaptogenic and performance enhancing effects related to physical activity:
- Increase resistance to various types of stress: Physical, mental, emotional or environmental stress, expose a living being to multiple physiological challenges. Depending on severity, duration of exposure, and the animal’s resilience, these challenges may disturb the biological balance, and predispose the animal to chronic inflammatory disease and fatigue. Canine athletes, working-, and service dogs often experience physical, mental and emotional stress, which challenge their health and well-being. Siberian ginseng is a powerful adaptogenic herb. It can reduce fatigue, and enhance performance in spite of challenging circumstances like intensive physical activity. Siberian ginseng reduces exercise-induced cortisol elevation and inflammation, minimising the adverse physiological effects of emotional and physical challenges, and increasing general resistance to stress 122.
- Anti-fatigue & performance enhancing: Siberian ginseng’s performance enhancing effects can be attributed to its ability to reduce muscle damage, inhibit elevation of blood urea nitrogen levels, and increase utilization of fats as energy source. Its anti-fatigue effects may also be related to its antioxidant actions. 123,124
SCHISANDRA EXTRACT
SCHISANDRA is a well-known tonic which supports general well-being, and enhances resistance against various kinds of physiological challenges. It is classified as an adaptogenic herb, which supports healthy function of the immune-, hormone-, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive-, nervous system, muscles, and organ systems.
Effect of Schisandra on physical performance:
- Increases resistance to acute and chronic stress: Schisandra, an adaptogenic tonic, increases an animal’s resistance to stress by regulating stress hormones, and protecting against the degenerative effect of stress through enhancing antioxidant capacity, reducing inflammation, strengthening immune defences, and supporting healthy function of physiological systems. Schisandra also enhances the animal’s recovery from injury or illness by reducing inflammation, and stimulating cellular regeneration.14
- Enhances performance: Schisandra enhances performance by stimulating central nervous system activity, increasing mental acuity, and enhancing physical work capacity, especially during stressful and exhaustive circumstances. It reduces muscle fatigue by improving muscle perfusion, oxygen and nutrient supply15, and decreases the production of metabolic by-products like lactate and BUN (blood urea nitrogen), indicating enhanced physical capacity.16-19
SPIRULINA
SPIRULINA is a highly nutritious blue-green algae, and is considered a super food. It contains superior concentrations of protein and essential amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, multiple phytoactives, and chlorophyll. These nutrients function in synergy to support multiple physiological systems and promote general health.
- Antioxidant protection: Intensive physical activity promotes the production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage, which contribute to muscle inflammation and fatigue. Spirulina increases the levels of antioxidant enzymes and antioxidants like GSH (reduced glutathione), Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. These antioxidants enhance protection against oxidative muscle damage and fatigue20.
- Enhances muscle performance and endurance capacity: Spirulina benefits physical performance by promoting muscle regeneration and hypertrophy, encouraging fat metabolism as muscle fuel whilst sparing muscle glycogen stores, enhancing power output, improving endurance capacity and hence, reducing time to fatigue20-24.

Product Reviews
Review: for Monty – Untamed Peak Form & Untamed Rejuvenmax
https://untamedanimalhealth.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Monty-hardloop.mp4
“Our Monty was recently run over by a car. Unfortunately he sustained multiple injuries to his legs, and eventually lost his front leg. Except for the Untamed REJUVENMAX, which he has loved and used for many months, Untamed Animal Health, also recommended that we start him on PEAK FORM to enhance the recovery process. Monty recovered remarkably well. Within one week he was back on our 3 ha small holding, running around and digging holes on his three legs, like nothing has ever happened to him! His speedy recovery and lively personality, can truly be attributed to much love, care, his healthy diet, and these two products from Untamed.” Emile
Review: For Finn – Untamed Peak Form
“My dog (Finn) and I compete in agility. I had him on Untamed PEAK FORM before the South African agility championships. He did amazing at the championships. He was so toned, recovered quickly, and thank goodness he had no injuries.
I had so many comments about how well he looked. He was overall in great shape.
He is off PEAK FORM now as we are taking a break. But as soon as we start training again, he’s going straight back on PEAK FORM in preparation for the Agility World Championships happening in October in Sweden.
Thanks so much for a great product. We would love to try some of the others.” Jana
Review: For Gracie – Untamed Hip & Joint and Untamed Peak Form
“Gracie is 14 yo. She had a tragic accident about 5 months ago when she was run over by truck. Her pelvis was broken in two places, her femur head had to be removed and her back was very sore. I have seen such an amazing change in her since starting Peak Form and more recently Hip and Joint” Yvonne Zwiegelaar
Review: for Nina Untamed Peak Form and Hip & Joint
“Nina my canine athlete has been on Untamed Peak Form and Hip & Joint from UNTAMED for 3 weeks and already her back stiffness (normal for agility athletes) has improved. I’m very curious as to what her physio will say. Her muscle tone and strength also improved. I so wish I had access to this product in 2016 when she hurt her hock. Thank you UNTAMED for keeping my athlete strong and healthy. We will definitely recommend this product to anyone that want to improve health overall in their best friend. We also use it as a preventitive measure to injury, stiffness in joints and ageing. Also, if injury might occur it will help Nina with the recovery process, hence why I said earlier I wish I could’ve used it when she had her injury. And the BEST quality of this product everything is natural and all human grade so I know it’s safe if I can use it too. AND another plus is its very affordable too.” Leandre Wilson
Review: for Lilly - Untamed Peak From + Hip & Joint
Lilly is my retired agility Border Collie – but no one believes me when I tell them she is 11 years old. I started Lilly about 2 years ago on Untamed products, Peak Form and Hip & Joint to aid with her increasing stiffness after training. And WOW, what a transformation it was. Right after we started with these products, she could finish a course and show minimal to no signs of joint stiffness. I have retired her since, but I can tell you this grandma still thinks she is 2 years old.
Review: for Beast - Untamed Peak From
“Beast is doing very well on Untamed PEAK FORM. His muscle tone has improved and he is in fantastic condition. We are looking forward to show.” Lusahn Bull Terriers
Review: for Ayla Untamed Peak Form
“Little Ayla and Marizelle Strydom wants to thank Untamed Animal Health for their generous sponsor towards her well-being for the AWC 2018. Ayla and her Team mates will be travelling to Sweden and Norway end of September, to take part in the Agility world Championships. Since using the Untamed PEAK FORM Condition and Performance powder, I can clearly see a difference in her energy levels and concentration. Thanks again! We really appreciate!
Review: For Nerina’s fur babies – Untamed Peak Form
“My Flatcoated Retrievers are all active in many dog disciplines being Field Trials, Breed Shows, Obedience etc. and enjoy the benefits of Untamed Rejuvenmax and Peak Form. As a Distributor of Raw Gold I recommend and sell the Untamed Products having witnessed the wonderful results and benefits of these products.”Nerina Napoli – Raw Gold
Review: for Beau – Untamed Skin+ & Peak Form
“BEAU is thriving on Untamed Animal Health’s PEAK FORM as well as SKIN+ to keep him in top condition. His muscle definition is more visible and the condition of his coat is as soft as silk. I give these products to all my other kids as well, to keep them all in top condition!” Michelle – QUE Bostons
