In dog health matters, we tend to focus on the symptom – itchy skin, diarrhea, poor appetite. And the world of commerce will answer that need with 1,000’s of remedies. Some of them work, at least for awhile. But too often, the problem returns or is never fully resolved.
WHY? What is preventing our loved furry family member from getting well? Let’s examine some of the volumes of research done in regard to this concern.
“The gut microbiome contributes to host metabolism, protects against pathogens, educates the immune system, and, through these basic functions, affects directly or indirectly most physiologic functions of its host.” The Role of the Canine Gut Microbiome and Metabolome in Health and Gastrointestinal Disease Rachel Pilla* Jan S.

It really is the gut! The microbiome. The digestive tract. Think of the microbiome as the powerhouse of the entire body, something like the huge power supply complexes in a large city. If those power centers go out, or get low, the whole city will suffer.
Why does the gut get imbalanced? So many things; Food, stress, travel, medication, pathogens (bacteria and viruses). Dogs, like humans, SHOULD be able to overcome most of this but the truth is our modern life throws some curves. And there are just some bad pathogens out there that are trouble.
Why was MyoBio developed? Our scientist formulator was onto some of the earliest research on finding healthier ways to replace antibiotics. The known negative factors of antibiotic use led researchers to seek healthier ways to combat disease. PREbiotics were a very promising solution. They had significant advantages to PRObiotics.
