Every culture in the world has a unique set of traditions for promoting good health. From acupuncture in China, to fermented beet drinks in Russia, to the sweat lodge in America, people value special foods and practices for promoting health.
世界各地的不同文化都有一套獨特的傳統來促進健康。從中國的針灸、俄羅斯的發酵甜菜飲料、美國的蒸氣房，人們都重視特殊的食物和做法來促進健康。
A handful of those foods and practices are so valuable, they’ve found their way into the health tradition of nearly every culture. For example…
其中一些食物和做法非常珍貴，它們已經成為幾乎所有文化的健康傳統的一部分。例如...
Humble, tasty – yet powerful – bone broth.
平平無其唔起眼、但好味及功效非凡的骨湯
As much as 2500 years ago, Traditional Chinese practitioners were using bone broth to support digestion and healthy kidney function in humans.
早在2500年前，中國傳統醫學家就使用骨湯來支持人類的消化系統和健康的腎臟功能。In ancient Greece, it was recommended to people for healthy digestion by none other than Hippocrates, the “father of medicine” himself.
在古希臘，"醫學之父"希波克拉底本人就建議人們飲用骨湯以促進健康消化。
The great Jewish philosopher and physician, Maimonides, who lived in Egypt in the 12th Century, recommended soup made with chicken bone broth to support health.
12世紀在埃及生活的偉大猶太哲學家和醫生梅蒙尼德斯也建議人們飲用用雞骨煮成的湯來支持健康。
So, what is it that makes bone broth such a valued resource with health specialists?
那麼，是什麼使得骨湯令健康專家咁重視呢？
It’s the building blocks.
係佢嘅成分
Bone broth is rich in the building blocks of life – amino acids, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, substances like chondroitin, and especially collagen, the most abundant protein in the bodies of mammals.
骨湯富含生命的構建單位 - 氨基酸、礦物質、維他命、必需脂肪酸、像軟骨素的物質，尤其是膠原蛋白，這是哺乳動物體內最豐富的蛋白質。
What’s exciting is that bone broth offers the same potential benefits to pets as it does to humans. And that’s great news for aging pets.
令人驚喜的是，骨湯為寵物提供的潛在益處和對人類一樣。而這對於年老的寵物來說無疑係一個好消息。
As a pet parent, you want to do all you can to help your pet remain healthy, comfortable and active for as long as possible. The time we get to enjoy our pets is far too short.
作為寵物主人，你希望盡一切可能幫助你的寵物保持健康、生活舒適和充滿活力，使你們能夠共度更長的時間，因為我們和寵物相處的時間實在太短暫。
For most dogs and cats, age seven is the equivalent of middle age in humans. And for many breeds of dogs, that age marks the beginning of their senior years. Cats are officially “seniors” once they reach 10 years of age.
對於大多數狗貓來說，7歲相當於人類的中年。對於許多品種的狗來說，這個年齡標誌著他們開始步入老年。貓在達到10歲時就正式成為"老年"。
By the time your pet enters middle age, he or she can begin experiencing some of the same age-related changes humans endure, including:
當你的寵物進入中年時，牠可能會開始經歷與人類相似的因年老相關的變化，包括：
- Stiff, achy joints
關節僵硬疼痛 - Reduced muscle mass
肌肉減少 - Declining bone density
骨質密度下降 - Diminishing immune function
免疫功能下降
Depending on your pet’s breed, certain physiological changes can appear even sooner than middle age.
根據你的寵物品種，某些生理變化甚至可能在中年前已經出現。
So, what can you do to help fight natural age-related changes in your pet to help her stay active and healthy?
那麼，為了幫助你的寵物對抗自然的年齡相關變化以保持活躍和健康，你可以做些什麼呢？
Key Building Blocks for Muscle, Bones, Joints and Immune Function – Is Your Pet Getting Enough?
維持肌肉、骨骼、關節和免疫系統功能健康嘅關鍵建構組元 - 你的寵物攝取量足夠嗎？
Proteins are considered the “building blocks of life,” and form the basis of your pet’s entire body – his muscles, bones, arteries, veins, skin, hair, tissues and organs.
蛋白質被認為是"生命的建構組元"，並且是你寵物整個身體的基礎 - 包括牠的肌肉、骨骼、動脈、靜脈、皮膚、毛髮、組織和器官。
For many years, the veterinary community believed pets – especially cats – required less protein as they aged.
多年來，獸醫界認為老年寵物 - 特別是貓 - 需要攝取較少的蛋白質。
However, in the 1990s, Dr. Delmar Finco, a veterinary nutrition researcher, discovered protein requirements actually increase with age. He found that higher protein diets were associated with greater life spans, even in cats with kidney concerns.
然而，在1990年代，獸醫營養學家 Dr. Delmar Finco 發現，蛋白質需求實際上隨著年齡增加而增加。他發現，蛋白質含量較高的飲食與長壽有關，即使是有腎臟問題的貓也是如此。
Many older cats have consumed processed pet food with difficult-to-digest ingredients, including poor-quality rendered protein, their entire lives.
許多老貓一生中都食用了含有難以消化成分的加工寵物食品，包括劣質的加工蛋白質。
This type of poor diet can result in compromised kidney and liver function – and that may explain why so many kitties have reduced kidney function. What most aging cats really need is greater amounts of high-quality protein, not less.
這種劣質飲食可能會導致腎臟和肝臟功能受損 - 這可能解釋了為什麼有這麼多貓的腎功能減退。大多數老貓真正需要的是更多高質的蛋白質，而不是更少。
With age, your pet’s body becomes less efficient at using the amino acids in protein for building and replenishing tissues. Senior cats and dogs need plenty of high-quality protein to help maintain muscle mass, promote joint and bone health as well as support proper organ and immune function.
隨著年齡增長，你寵物的身體越來越難利用蛋白質中的氨基酸來建立和補充組織。老年的貓和狗需要大量高質蛋白質，以幫助維持肌肉質量、促進關節和骨骼健康，以及支持適當的器官和免疫功能。
Sadly, you’d never suspect how important high-quality protein is for cats and dogs by looking at the top-selling senior pet foods. Nearly all of them contain grains – wheat or GMO corn – as the second ingredient by weight.
令人遺憾的是，從最暢銷的老年寵物食品中，你永遠無法想到高質的蛋白質對於貓狗是多麼重要。作為第二主要成份的小麥或基因改造玉米，幾乎所有這些產品都含有這些穀物。
These two ingredients don’t belong in food, especially food intended for senior pets, as they replace the high-quality, meat-based protein sources that cats and dogs need to maintain good health.
這兩種成分不應該出現在食品中，尤其是年老寵物的食品中，因為它們會取代貓狗需要維持良好健康所需的高質量、以肉類為基礎的蛋白質來源。
Plus, they can contain traces of glyphosate and aflatoxins, contaminants linked to cancer and chronic disease.
此外，它們可能含有少量的草甘膦和黃曲霉毒素等污染物，這些污染物與癌症和慢性疾病有關。
I recommend feeding your dog or cat a high-quality, species-appropriate diet whenever you can.
我建議你盡可能餵飼高質量、適合的飲食給你的狗或貓。
But what if you can’t feed this type of diet 100% of the time? How can you help meet your pet’s needs for muscle, joint and immune support if many commercial pet foods contain only limited quantities of the right building blocks?
但如果你未能每一餐都餵飼這種飲食呢？當大部份商業寵物食品只含有有限數量的適當建構組元，你該如何幫助滿足你的寵物對肌肉、關節和免疫系統所需的支持的需求呢？
Collagen: The Most Abundant Protein in Your Pet’s Body
膠原蛋白：你寵物體內最豐富的蛋白質
Collagen is the most plentiful protein in your pet’s body – it makes up as much as 30% of his body’s total proteins, and 70% to 80% of the protein in skin.
膠原蛋白是你寵物體內最豐富的蛋白質 - 它佔據了牠體內總蛋白質的30％，在皮膚中的蛋白質佔70％至80％。
Found in the connective tissue throughout the body, collagen provides the structural scaffolding for tissues to maintain their integrity and flexibility. In other words, it’s the “glue” that supports and holds everything together.
膠原蛋白分布於身體的結締組織中，為組織提供結構支架，以維持其完整性和靈活性。換句話說，它是支持和維持一切的"膠水"。
Collagen supports the integrity of your pet’s muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, digestive tract and skin. It plays an essential role in many biological functions:
膠原蛋白支持你寵物的肌肉、骨骼、肌腱、韌帶、血管、消化道和皮膚的完整性。它在生物功能中發揮著關鍵作用：
- Supports digestion by increasing stomach acid and attracting and holding liquids, including digestive juices in your pet’s gut.
通過增加胃酸和吸納及保持液體，包括你寵物腸道中的消化液達致支持消化。 - Helps restore and maintain gut health, which in turn plays a major role in healthy immune function.
幫助恢復和維持腸道健康，進而對健康的免疫功能起著重要作用。 - Supports normal detoxification processes by providing glycine, a precursor amino acid for glutathione.
通過提供甘氨酸，膠原蛋白成為谷胱甘肽的前體氨基酸，支持正常的解毒過程。 - Supports healthy muscles and energy production during exercise by forming creatine, along with two other amino acids.
支持健康的肌肉和生產能量，於運動期間與另外兩種氨基酸一起形成肌酸。 - Supports DNA and RNA, the genetic building blocks for healthy cells.
支持DNA和RNA，有助於對健康細胞的基因構建。 - Supports your pet’s normal healthy inflammatory response.
支持你的寵物對炎症的正常健康反應。
While collagen provides a variety of vital nutrients for your pet’s well-being, her body’s capacity to produce it declines as she ages.
儘管膠原蛋白為你的寵物健康提供了各種重要營養素，但隨著年齡增長，牠體內生產膠原蛋白的能力會下降。
The good news is, lost collagen can be replaced.
好消息是，流失的膠原蛋白可以被補充。
The sooner you begin supplying your pet with the building blocks her body needs, the more likely you can help support healthy, comfortable movement. And the sooner she can enjoy all of collagen’s other potential benefits.
越早開始為你的寵物提供牠需要的建構組元，越有可能幫助支持牠的健康、令牠舒適地活動。並且能越早享受到膠原蛋白的其他潛在益處。
A Closer Look at Collagen
深入了解膠原蛋白
So, where can your cat or dog get the collagen he needs to support all these important functions?
那麼，你的貓狗從哪裡獲得所需的膠原蛋白以支持這些重要功能呢？
Animal protein is an excellent source of collagen. It’s concentrated mostly in the bones, skin and tougher cuts of meat that have a lot of connective tissue, including tendons and ligaments.
動物蛋白是膠原蛋白的最佳來源。它主要集中在骨頭、皮膚和有許多結締組織（包括肌腱和韌帶）的硬肉部位中。
As much as 90% of the collagen in your pet’s body falls into these three categories:
你寵物體內高達90％的膠原蛋白屬於以下三個類別：
- Type I - The most abundant type, found in skin, tendon, bone, ligaments and connective tissue
Type I - 最豐富的類型，存在於皮膚、肌腱、骨、韌帶和結締組織中。 - Type II - A primary component of cartilage
Type II - 軟骨主要的組成部分 - Type III - Fibrous protein found in skin, muscle, blood vessels, bone, tendon, cartilage and connective tissues
於皮膚、肌肉、血管、骨、肌腱、軟骨和結締組織中發現的纖維蛋白
Bone concentrate is an excellent source of collagen and beef bone concentrate in particular. Its collagen is similar to the collagen in your pet’s body.
骨濃縮物是膠原蛋白的最佳來源，特別是牛骨精華。它的膠原蛋白類似於你寵物體內的膠原蛋白。
Prepared beef bone concentrate contains abundant amounts of collagen Types I, II and III as well as other types of collagen that are key components for tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones, joints, gut and blood vessels.
製成的牛骨精華分別含有豐富的第一型、第二型和第三型膠原蛋白，以及其他在肌腱、韌帶、肌肉、骨骼、關節、腸道和血管中是關鍵成分的膠原蛋白類型。
To produce its own collagen, your pet’s body requires certain amino acids. Beef bone concentrate provides them all: glycine, proline, lysine, glutamine, arginine and hydroxyproline. These amino acids are behind collagen’s many benefits in supporting skin health, gut health, joints and bones, muscles and more.
寵物的身體需要特定的氨基酸來產生自己的膠原蛋白。牛骨精華提供了所有這些特定的氨基酸：甘氨酸、脯氨酸、賴氨酸、谷氨酰胺、精氨酸和羥脯氨酸。這些氨基酸是膠原蛋白在支持皮膚健康、腸道健康、關節和骨骼、肌肉等方面帶來許多好處的關鍵。
Glycine makes up about a third of collagen’s amino acids. Not only is glycine a major structural component of collagen, but it’s also involved in important metabolic processes such as detoxification, muscle growth and the regulation of neurotransmitters.
甘氨酸佔膠原蛋白氨基酸的約三分之一。甘氨酸不僅是膠原蛋白的主要結構成分，而且還參與重要的代謝過程，例如解毒、肌肉生長和神經遞質的調節。
When your pet consumes prepared beef bone concentrate, the collagen is absorbed by the digestive tract and travels to other parts of the body to make new collagen for up to 96 hours.
當你的寵物攝入製成的牛骨精華時，膠原蛋白會被消化道吸收，並在96小時內傳送到身體的其他部位，以製造新的膠原蛋白。
Why You Should Insist on “Organic” When Buying Collagen and Bone Broth
點解購買膠原蛋白或骨湯時要堅持選擇"有機"的產品
The vast majority of bone broth and collagen products on the market are not from organically raised animals, especially chicken bone broths. They typically come from animals raised in factory farms or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs).
市場上絕大部分的骨湯和膠原蛋白產品都唔係從有機飼養的動物中提取的，尤其係雞骨湯。它們通常都係來自在工廠農場或密集式動物飼養嘅農場（CAFO）中飼養的動物。
CAFO animals are usually fed a GMO diet and given antibiotics and growth hormones. The last thing you want are traces of these potentially harmful additives in the broth you feed to your cat or dog.
CAFO動物通常被餵飼基因改造(GMO)食品，並會使用抗生素和生長激素。你最唔希望就係於你餵飼給貓狗的骨湯中含有這些潛在有害添加劑的痕跡。
The Consumer Wellness Center (CWC) recently tested eight of the most popular nonorganic poultry-based collagen products sold online.
消費者健康中心（CWC）最近測試了八種於網上銷售最受歡迎的非有機以家禽製造的膠原蛋白產品。
Sure enough, they found potentially hazardous contaminants associated with CAFOs, suggesting CAFO animal byproducts are routinely used to make nonorganic collagen products.
果然，他們發現了與CAFO有關的潛在危險污染物，這表明CAFO動物副產品通常用於製造非有機膠原蛋白產品。
Besides the trace amounts of antibiotics and insecticides widely used throughout the animal-based food supply, they also found these alarming contaminants in some of the products:
除了動物食品供應中廣泛使用的微量抗生素和殺蟲劑，他們還在一些產品中發現了以下令人震驚的污染物：
- Butylparaben – An endocrine-disrupting chemical associated with reduced testosterone levels and abnormal shape, size and motility of sperm
Butylparaben – 一種與降低睪丸激素水平和令精子形狀、大小和運動能力異常有關的干擾內分泌的化學物質 - Cyclandelate – A vasodilator drug
Cyclandelate – 一種血管擴張劑藥物 - Netilmicin – An antibiotic
Netilmicin – 一種抗生素
Factory-farmed animal products are undesirable for many health reasons, and there are valid concerns about antibiotic resistance, animal welfare and environmental pollution.
工廠飼養的動物產品因眾多健康原因而不受歡迎，不論對抗生素的耐藥性、動物福利或環境污染都令人有合理的擔憂。
Nonorganic poultry sources for bone broth products are especially concerning because bones tend to collect toxins, which are then extracted into the broth.
非有機以禽類製造的骨湯產品的來源尤其令人擔憂，因為骨頭往往會含有毒素，這些毒素隨後會被提取到湯中。
What about beef collagen? Is that any better?
那麼牛膠原蛋白呢？有什麼不同嗎？
The Truth About Some Beef Collagen Products
有關牛膠原蛋白產品的真相
There are two ways to get collagen from animals. One is from the hides and the other from the bones.
從動物中獲取膠原蛋白有兩種方法。一是從皮革中提取，另一種是從骨頭中提取。
Collagen happens to be one of the most abundant by-products of the leather industry.
膠原蛋白恰巧是皮革工業最豐富的副產品之一。
Most collagen peptides, or hydrolyzed collagen, on the market come from the hides of cows.
市場上大多數的膠原蛋白肽或水解膠原蛋白來自牛皮革。
What’s most concerning with this type of product is how the collagen is removed from the hides. To produce this type of highly-processed collagen, many tanneries use sulfuric acid and chromium salts during processing.
這種產品最令人擔憂的是膠原蛋白是如何從皮革中提取。為了生產這種高度加工的膠原蛋白，許多制革廠在加工過程中使用硫酸和鉻鹽。
Animal hide-sourced collagen has a history of problems with heavy metal contamination (one of the reasons I never recommend raw hide chews for pets).
以動物皮革做來源的膠原蛋白在重金屬污染方面長久以來存在問題（這也是我從不建議寵物食用生皮骨的原因之一）。
Rather than obtaining collagen from hides or skin, I recommend collagen sourced from real bone broth made from organically raised, grass-fed animals. This is the most natural way to obtain collagen and is, in my view, the best way to reap the full range of benefits while avoiding the potential drawbacks.
我建議不要從皮革或皮膚中獲取膠原蛋白，而是從有機飼養、草飼動物製成的真正骨湯中獲取膠原蛋白。呢個係獲取膠原蛋白最天然的方法，並且係獲取所有好處同時避免潛在缺點的最佳方法。
The slow simmering of bones and surrounding joint and connective tissues releases collagen, minerals and other nutrients, without the contaminants typically found in CAFO animals or hide-sourced collagen.
慢慢燉煮骨頭和周圍的關節和結締組織可以釋放膠原蛋白、礦物質和其他營養素，而不會像工廠農場動物或來自皮革的膠原蛋白一樣含有污染物。
Properly prepared beef bone broth isn’t the same as canned or regular store-bought broth and bouillon cubes. It’s richer in nutrients, without potentially toxic additives.
正確準備的牛骨湯不同於罐裝或超級市場裡買的罐頭湯或濃縮湯粒。它更富營養及不含潛在有害添加劑。
Products made for humans often includes other ingredients, such as onions, which are delicious for people but not suitable for dogs and cats.
供人類食用的產品通常包含其他成分，例如洋蔥，這對人類來說很美味，但對貓狗來說就唔適合。
Regular bone broth is sometimes diluted and has sugar and flavors added to enhance the taste.
一般骨湯有時會稀釋並添加糖和調味料以增強味道。
Many companies use lab-concocted meat flavors for bouillon cubes and soup mixes. Manufactured gelatin may contain monosodium glutamate, or MSG, a flavor enhancer and known neurotoxin – something definitely not appropriate for your pet.
許多公司使用實驗室調製的肉類味道來製作湯塊和湯料包。製造的明膠通常含有味精（MSG），這是一種味道增強劑和已知的神經毒素，這對你的寵物絕對不適合。
Support Your Pet’s Bone Health and Joint Cartilage with Supplemental Collagen for Easy, Comfortable Movement
通過補充膠原蛋白來支持寵物的骨骼健康和關節軟骨，令寵物可以輕鬆自如的活動
As your dog or cat ages, her joints experience normal wear and tear. The cartilage, or natural cushioning in your pet’s joints, also declines with age.
隨著你的狗或貓年齡漸長，牠們的關節會經歷正常的磨損。軟骨或寵物關節的天然緩衝也會隨著年齡而下降。
Collagen makes up as much as 90% of your pet’s cartilage, bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons. So, it’s no wonder joints can lose their stability and connective tissue can become more fragile as collagen production diminishes in the body.
膠原蛋白佔寵物軟骨、骨骼、肌肉、韌帶和肌腱的比例高達90％。因此，當體內膠原蛋白含量下降時，關節可能會失去穩定性，結締組織也會變得更加脆弱，這一點也不奇怪。
All these normal age-related changes, including the decline in collagen production, can take a toll on your pet’s comfort and flexibility, leading to a greater susceptibility for injury and bone and joint conditions.
所有這些與年齡相關的正常變化，包括膠原蛋白產生的下降，都可能對你的寵物的舒適度和靈活性造成影響，從而增加受傷和骨骼關節疾病的風險。
Collagen from beef bone concentrate supports your pet’s healthy joints and bones in several ways:
牛骨精華中的膠原蛋白以多方面支持你寵物關節和骨骼的健康：
- Helps provide cushioning between bones to help them glide more effortlessly
幫助提供骨骼之間的緩衝，使它們更容易滑動 - Helps maintain strong bones and healthy bone density
幫助維持強健的骨骼和健康的骨質密度 - Contributes the amino acids used to support structure and function
提供支持結構和功能的氨基酸 - Is readily absorbable to support cartilage and bone health
易於吸收，以支持軟骨和骨骼健康
Certain breeds have a predisposition for joint concerns. With these pets, I recommend taking a proactive approach and starting with a collagen supplement at an early age to help maintain healthy collagen levels.
某些品種傾向容易有關節問題。對於這些寵物，Dr. Karen建議採取積極的方法，從早開始補充膠原蛋白，以幫助維持健康的膠原蛋白水平。
The Effects of Collagen and Beef Bone Concentrate on Your Pet’s Gut and Immune Health
膠原蛋白和牛骨精華對你寵物的腸道和免疫系統健康的影響
Prepared bone concentrate is easily digested and soothes your pet’s gastrointestinal tract, providing comfort for both healthy pets and pets with digestive issues.
經製作的牛骨精華易於消化，能舒緩寵物的腸道，適合健康的寵物或有消化問題的寵物。
Collagen’s amino acids help support healthy tissue that lines your pet’s colon and gastrointestinal tract.
膠原蛋白的氨基酸有助於支持結腸和腸道的組織健康。
The naturally occurring glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in bone broth also support his digestive and gut health. Beef bone concentrate and collagen support gut and immune health by helping to:
存在於骨湯中的糖胺聚糖（GAG）也有助於支持寵物的消化和腸道健康。牛骨精華和膠原蛋白通過以下方式支持腸道和免疫系統健康：
- Support a healthy gut lining and normal intestinal permeability.
支持健康的腸道內膜和正常的腸道滲透力。 - Help maintain a healthy microbiome.
幫助維持健康的微生物基因體。 - Support your pet’s normal healthy inflammatory response.
支持寵物對炎症正常健康的反應。
Because about 80% of your pet’s immune system is in his gut, supporting gastrointestinal health also supports healthy immune function.
因為你寵物約80％的免疫系統位於腸道內，支持腸道健康等同支持免疫功能健康。
Bone broth is a great first product for animals recovering from any type of acute gastrointestinal upset. If your pet’s appetite is waning, offering bone broth may help entice your pet to eat and promote the health of her GI tract.
骨湯是寵物從任何急性腸胃不適中復原的一個很好的產品。如果你的寵物食慾減退，提供骨湯可能有助於激牠物的食慾，並促進其腸道健康。
Our Organic Collagen Comes from Real Grass-Fed Beef Bone Concentrate – Not Leather Industry By-Products
我們的有機膠原蛋白來自真正的草飼牛骨精華，而非皮革工業的副產品
Our Organic Collagen Powder for Cats & Dogs is made from the real thing – the bones and surrounding connective tissue from USDA Certified Organic grass-fed beef bones.
我們的 Organic Collagen Powder for Cats & Dogs 是由USDA認證的有機草飼牛骨和周圍的結締組織製成的。
Cats and dogs love its taste, thanks in part to a touch of Himalayan pink salt that helps bring out the full flavor of the meaty broth.
貓狗都會喜歡它的味道，這部分歸功於一點喜馬拉雅粉紅鹽，它有助於激發肉湯的完整風味。
Why add salt, you might be wondering? Palatability is important when it comes to bone broth, and a small amount of salt enhances flavor.
你可能會問為什麼要添加鹽？對於骨湯來說，口感很重要，少量的鹽可以增強風味。
Pets actually require a small amount of salt each day. This requirement mimics the sodium from the blood of prey in the wild.
寵物實際上每天需要少量的鹽。這種需求正是模仿野外獵物的血液中的鈉。
Sodium is important for:
鈉的重要性包括：
- Supporting healthy muscle contraction and relaxation.
支持健康的肌肉收縮和放鬆。 - Maintaining proper fluid and electrolyte balance.
維持適當的體液和電解質平衡。 - Supporting healthy nerve transmission.
支持健康的神經訊息傳遞。 - Maintaining healthy blood pressure already in the normal range.
維持健康的血壓於正常範圍內。
Rather than adding processed table salt, we add a dash of Himalayan salt to our Organic Collagen Powder. It contains 84 health-supporting trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and vanadium.
我們在 Organic Collagen Powder 中加入了一點喜馬拉雅鹽，而不是添加加工過的食鹽。喜馬拉雅鹽含有84種支持健康的微量元素，例如鉀、鎂、鈣、磷和釩。
Conventional table salt isn’t ideal for pets as it is heavily refined and mixed with anti-caking agents. On the other hand, lightly processed Himalayan salt offers many potential benefits, including support for bone strength, respiratory and vascular health, and digestion.
一般的食鹽對於寵物來說並不適合，因為它經過大量精煉並混合了防結塊劑。另一方面，輕度加工的喜馬拉雅鹽反而提供了許多潛在的好處，包括支持骨骼強度、呼吸和血管健康以及消化健康。
How Our Organic Collagen Powder Stands Apart
我們的 Organic Collagen Powder 點樣脫穎而出
There’s nothing like slowly-simmered bone broth made from the bones and the surrounding connective tissue from grass-fed cows. Maybe that’s why it has found its way into the health tradition of nearly every culture in the world.
沒有什麼比草飼牛骨製成的慢燉骨湯更好了。也許這就是為什麼它已經成為世界上幾乎每一個文化的健康傳統的原因。
Our Organic Collagen Powder is unique for several reasons. It’s…
我們的 Organic Collagen Powder 有幾個獨特之處，包括：
- Sourced from Organic Grass-Fed Beef Bone Concentrate and not a by-product of the leather industry.
源自有機草飼牛骨精華，而不是皮革工業的副產品。 - USDA Certified Organic so you know exactly what you’re getting.
獲得USDA有機認證，所以你知道你買咗乜嘢。 - Third-party testing for heavy metals so you can serve it to your pet without concerns about contamination.
經由第三方檢測重金屬含量，因此在可以放心提供予寵物。 - Not processed with metal salts, as it’s a minimally processed “complete” source of collagen.
不使用金屬鹽進行加工，因為它是一種輕度加工的“完整”膠原蛋白來源。 - Created especially for cats and dogs so it’s free of additives, artificial flavorings, added sugar, onion, spices and MSG.
專為貓狗而設，因此不含添加劑、人造調味料、添加糖、洋蔥、香料和味精。 - Very palatable, thanks to a dash of Himalayan salt, making it a great option for increasing your pet’s fluid intake while supporting electrolyte levels.
由於加入了少量的喜馬拉雅鹽所以非常好味，同時係增加寵物水份攝入量並支持電解質水平的絕佳選擇。
Simply boiled and dried, our Organic Collagen Powder for Cats & Dogs is the closest thing possible to slowly-simmered beef bone broth – only without the hard work and long wait. Just mix with water and it’s ready to offer to your pet.
我們的 Organic Collagen Powder for Cats & Dogs 只經簡單地煮沸和風乾，是最接近慢燉牛骨湯的產品 - 只是不需要辛苦烹調和長時間等待。只需加入水中攪拌，即可供寵物食用。
