At KosmoPet, we’re known for doing things differently — not just following trends, but leading with purpose. And today, we’re pulling back the curtain on something that’s been quietly powering some of our most trusted supplements.
It’s listed on our labels as simply: Bioflavonoid.
But make no mistake — this is not your average antioxidant.
It’s a powerful extract from a South African Acacia species. And it brings something truly extraordinary to the table:
ORAC 560,000+ μmol TE per 100 g
Let’s unpack that.
What does ORAC mean?
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity — a scientific way of measuring how effectively a substance neutralizes free radicals (the unstable molecules that cause oxidative damage in cells).
These values are measured using a benchmark called Trolox equivalents (μmol TE), with Trolox being a vitamin E analog used as the reference standard in labs.
In simple terms:
An ORAC score of 560,000+ μmol TE per 100 g means this ingredient has extremely high antioxidant power — far beyond most common foods and herbal extracts.
For perspective:
-
Rooibos tea: ~600 μmol TE
-
Grape seed extract: ~108,000 μmol TE
-
Turmeric: ~127,000 μmol TE
The Acacia-derived bioflavonoid we use in KosmoPet products is up to 5× stronger than those well-known antioxidants.
What does this mean for your pet?
Every day, your pet’s body produces free radicals — through metabolism, stress, aging, and exposure to toxins. If left unchecked, these unstable molecules can damage cells and tissues, contributing to:
-
Joint wear and stiffness
-
Skin and coat issues
-
Slower recovery after exertion
-
Weakened immune responses
-
General decline in vitality with age
Antioxidants help by neutralizing those free radicals — and our bioflavonoid does it exceptionally well.
Bonus benefit: Vitamin-sparing and vitamin-regenerating
Another remarkable feature of this bioflavonoid is its vitamin-sparing effect.
That means it helps protect crucial vitamins like C and E from being used up too quickly in the fight against oxidative stress. Even more impressive, it supports the body’s natural ability to regenerate depleted vitamin levels.
This makes it a perfect partner in any supplement formula — helping other nutrients go further and boosting their long-term effectiveness.
Found in Arthridin and Optiflight
This antioxidant powerhouse is a key part of:
-
Arthridin: Our flagship joint & mobility supplement
-
Optiflight: Designed to support high-performance recovery in racing and show pigeons
In both formulas, the bioflavonoid works silently but powerfully — supporting circulation, protecting cells, and helping your animals stay active, healthy, and full of life.
Why we kept it a “secret” — until now
We listed it plainly as Bioflavonoid on our packaging because we didn’t want to rely on hype.
We wanted results.
But now, we’re proud to share the story behind it.
Because when it comes to your pet’s health, we believe in educating and empowering.
This isn’t just another trendy superfood.
It’s a quiet, reliable force inside every scoop of KosmoPet — and one of the most scientifically respected antioxidants in the natural world.
The KosmoPet promise
We formulate every product with intention, transparency, and South African strength.
And sometimes, our greatest ingredients aren’t the loudest…
They’re just the most effective.
Now you know the secret.
And your pet is already reaping the benefits.
