Ipakitine - Renal Support Power

Ipakitine is a food supplement used to manage both dogs and cats with chronic kidney failure by reducing the absorption of phosphates. Ipakitine contains Chitosan and Calcium Carbonate, which act as phosphate binding agents and lower the absorption of phosphates restricted food. There is also a reduction in the absorption of some waste products that can affect normal kidney function. 

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of phosphates reduction in dogs and cats suffering from kidney failure and it is now widely accepted that there is a direct link between the length and quality of life of a cat or dog with kidney failure and the amount of phosphates they get through their food.

Ava L. ★★★★★

My cat’s bloodwork numbers have noticeably improved since I started mixing this powder into his breakfast. It blends easily into his food without him turning his nose up at it.

Joseph ★★★★★

Sprinkling this over my cat's wet food twice a day has been easy since the powder basically disappears once mixed. Her last bloodwork showed her phosphate levels finally holding steady, which is a huge relief at her age.

Joshua U. ★★★★★

My vet suggested a phosphate binder for my senior cat's early kidney failure, and this one has been easy to stick with. The scoop makes measuring simple, and with chitosan in the mix I've noticed her drinking less and eating more over the last month.
