Cushing's Disease

WHAT IS CUSHING'S DISEASE?

Cushing’s disease means there are excessive levels of glucocorticosteroids (cortisone and cortisol) in the dog’s bloodstream. It can lead to long-term suppression of the immune system, possible liver damage, pancreatitis, and dramatic reductions in quality of life due to loss and weakening of skeletal muscles.

What makes CushAway?

CushAway is a unique nutritional supplement intended to assist the treatment of Cushing’s disease in dogs. It combines three active ingredients — phosphatidylserine, melatonin, and HMR lignans — that research has shown reduce the production of corticosteroids or rapidly deplete them.

Melatonin, a natural hormone that can blunt the production of corticosteroids is also known for its role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and exerting antioxidant effects. It unfortunately has its absorption muted by combining it with lignans, especially the inferior SDG lignans from flaxseed. Enter CushAway’s unique formulation which combines the traditional lignan/melatonin combination with a new ally, phosphatidylserine and makes it the most effective supplement available.

Superior HMR Lignans and Melatonin stand as defenders against the ravages of Cushing’s disease in our cherished canine companions. Their efficacy in mitigating inflammation and combating oxidative stress is also well-documented, offering a beacon of hope in the pursuit of enhanced quality of life for affected dogs. This combination is often recommended by experts and veterinarians as a first line treatment to lessen the effects of Cushing’s disease by blunting the production of excess cortisol and cortisone, the corticosteroids at the root of the disease.

PS (phosphatidylserine), a fatty substance protecting nerve cells in the brain and enabling them to communicate among each other, is sometimes used for Alzheimer disease and normal age-related decline in memory. Importantly it has also been shown in studies to blunt the production of excess corticosteroids. It also helps the melatonin overcome the lignans tendency to hinder its absorption.

More on PS

Phosphatidylserine is a type of phospholipid and as a lipid type molecule it is very absorbable. PS can form circular chains which can capture the melatonin molecules within it and whisk the melatonin into the bloodstream along with it, overcoming the lignan’s barrier to absorption and enhancing the absorption efficiency of the formula. This is what makes CushAway the best natural supplement available to help your precious pooch in the fight against Cushing’s.

The Story of CushAway

“I wasn’t feeling so good one morning—my legs were weak, and I could barely walk—but Dad scooped me up and rushed me to the vet, where they found out I had Cushing’s disease. At first, things looked bad, and we tried different treatments, but Dad never gave up on me. He researched, tested, and found a way to help me feel better, and because of his love and CushAway, I didn’t just survive—I thrived. I went on to live a full and happy 19 years, which is something really special for a pup like me. “ – Scrappy
