Question About Mellit For Diabetic Cats

[Angela & Blackie & 3 Others]

I was doing an online search for something totally different, and came across this website:

Has anyone ever heard of this product, and/or used it on their own diabetic babies before? It seems to have a lot of positive reviews on it.

Just curious, and thank you either way. Hope everyone is staying safe, and didn't receive any damage where they live.

I have no problems with holistic approaches that make sense, however just because an herb, a naturally found substance, is good for humans, does not mean it is good for cats. Some of the things on the list of ingredients I know are probably ok, like the Blueberry, but some of those things..no clue. Unless someone has done official studies on each one of those ingredients affects on cats, I would steer clear.

Jambolin: The volatile oils contain eugenol and metil salicylate; the fresh seeds have been found helpful in managing symptoms of feline diabetes; very beneficial in glycosuria, with no harmful effect reported.
Devil’s Club: Helps to balance the glandular system and metabolism.
Fenugreek: A bitter herb that helps support digestion, soothes irritated tissues, and manages blood sugar levels.
Gymnema: The gymnemic acid binds to sugar-receptors, blocking temporarily the absorption of sugar molecules.
Goat’s Rue: A bitter, mucilaginous, tonic herb; stimulates and guards the liver and while helping manage blood sugar levels.
Oregon grape: Berberine leads to healthier pancreatic tissue.
Blueberry: Acts as a urinary antiseptic (arbutin action) and helps with blood sugar levels (glucoquinones action).
Dandelion: Nutritive, supports the kidneys, promotes liver function, and helps with swelling and inflammation.
