What is Hilyses®, and when to use it?

It is a source of nucleotides, glutamic acid, peptides and functional carbohydrates (MOS and β-glucans) from enzymatic hydrolysis processes, which may be used in periods of high growth rate, stress conditions or disease incidence, being an option for a balanced and supplemented diet, since free nucleotides may optimize functions of the immune system, gastrointestinal system, and energy use.

• Nucleotides are needed to multiply the ordinary functions of epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa, as well as of the innate lymphoid cells (ILC) associated with it, acting to increase defense against pathogens.
• The presence of nucleotides in the mother’s milk influences the gastrointestinal development and the organism defenses since purines and pyrimidines are key to proliferate lymphocytes.

Nucleotides Input

Nucleotides are not considered essential nutrients because they are synthesized by the de novo pathway from amino acids, glucose, and other components.

However, the de novo pathway synthesis occurs through high energy expenditure and is limited in some tissues with a high rate of cell renewal, such as bone marrow, intestinal mucosa, hematopoietic cells, and lymphocytes. These tissues preferably use the salvage pathway, where they are produced from nucleotides, nucleosides and nitrogenous bases recycled from dead cells or exogenous sources.

Hilyses® is an excellent exogenous source of nucleotides and nucleosides, which are used through the salvage pathway with low energy expenditure, assisting in the full development of pups and the recovery of convalescent animals.

Hilyses® – Palatability

The improved palatability provided by Hilyses® is due to the presence of greater soluble material, especially free peptides and amino acids such as alanine, lysine, and glutamic acid, which stimulate amino acid receiving units.

Umami flavor

UMAMI flavor activator

UMAMI is recognized for taste in the intake of foods with amino acids, mainly represented by glutamic acid (glutamate) and nucleotides (inosine monophosphate or inosinate and guanosine monophosphate or guanylate).

In the Food Preference Test, palatability promoted by Hilyses® proved superior to brewer’s yeast.

For diets of sensitive animals

Intestinal enterocytes may absorb low molecular weight peptides and amino acids.

These nutrients are especially important for younger animals, which do not produce enough enzymes to digest proteins completely. Also, in cases of hypersensitive animals, high molecular weight proteins or peptides may be recognized as antigens and trigger an allergic process characterized mainly by the appearance of skin irritation and itching.

Ingredients like Hilyses® may be considered protein sources, suitable for hypoallergenic diets of dogs and cats.

Solution 1 – IDEAL GROWTH

Free nucleotides and nucleosides are important in times of limited nutrient intake, stress, or rapid growth in dogs and cats. They assist in the ideal development by supporting metabolic functions, such as the renewal of bone marrow cells, intestinal mucosa cells, hematopoietic cells, and lymphocytes.

Solution 2 – STRENGTHENING THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND BALANCING THE MICROBIOTA

By providing MOS and β-glucans, Hilyses® protects and strengthens digestive system actions, making your pet better prepared to cope with adversity arising from stress periods and balancing microbiota through pathogen binding: Salmonella binding: 96% E. coli binding: 95%

Solution 3 – HIGH PALATABILITY

The intracellular content of yeast is fully available, conferring the UMAMI flavor to the product due to the presence of amino acids, mainly glutamic acid (glutamate) and free nucleotides and nucleosides (guanosine monophosphate – GMP and inosine monophosphate – IMP). These nutrients are readily available to be absorbed into the intestine, presenting excellent palatability and consequently, higher feed intake for your pet.

Solution 4 – PROTECTIVE SOURCE FOR ALLERGIC ANIMALS

Hilyses® contains high levels of short-chain peptides that are not recognized as allergens by the body of sensitive or allergic animals.
