“First Week” At Bradford’s Tasta Pizza

Bradford Journal Photo Randy Moyer (left) stands with some of his crew at Tasta Pizza, January 4th, during the first week of the year. Left to right are Randy Moyer, Ronda Isadore, Molly Slater, Seth Hough and Eric Mackey. Seth and Eric tell us they’ve resolved to cut back on caffeine and sugar, to stay healthy, by cutting out the soda pop this year. Sorry to say, they admitted to already having fallen off the wagon earlier in the day. Seth claimed he didn’t know the soda he drank contained caffeine until he had finished the bottle. Eric claimed that he thought his drink contained artificial sugar. It’s like it just sort of snuck up on them!

Bradford Journal Photo During “First Week” Bradford, January 5th, we spotted (l-r) Wynona Hauck and Hannah Wolfe, both 18 of Smethport at McDonalds Restaurant. They tell us that they made a resolution to get into shape this year, but that the “Golden Arches” were screaming at them. And admittedly, that this is their second visit of the day (We can understand that. It was already late afternoon and a person has to eat after all). Hannah is a freshman at UPB.

Be Proactive To Help Keep Your Family Lice Free (NAPSI)—The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 12 million children get lice annually. Children can be exposed to head lice during school outbreaks, playdates, sleepovers or camp.

You would be hard pressed to find a school district that doesn’t see at least one case a year.

Siblings and parents are at risk if a child is being treated. If you or your children have potentially been exposed, specialists recommend a lice protection product to eliminate uncertainty and begin killing any stray lice before an infestation can take hold.

Lice symptoms include scalp itching and a visible rash behind ears and on the nape of the neck. Signs of infestation, if they appear at all, manifest two to four weeks after lice have arrived.

During this time, children are sharing lice with others before any infestation is detected.

Here are some tips that can help if you think you might be facing these unwelcome guests: • Examine your child’s head under bright light for tiny tan-gray bugs and their eggs (which appear as white sand grains strongly attached to the hair shaft near the scalp). If seen, use a lice treatment product immediately.

• If you don’t see signs but suspect exposure, give yourself peace of mind by replacing your family’s daily shampoo with a lice protection shampoo for two weeks to kill adult lice and those that hatch.

• Effective lice protection shampoos kill the lice rather than just repel them.

This ensures you quickly eliminate lice you may have missed before they become an infestation or spread.

• Pesticide-based products should not be used as a preventive measure. Look for nontoxic and pesticide-free alternatives as multiple exposures to synthetic pesticides is not recommended.

Seek lice protection products that

are proven to kill lice, such as safe, nontoxic Vamousse Lice Prevention Shampoo. Its innovative, pesticide-free formula helps keep your family licefree by killing lice before an infestation is identified. Made in the U.S., it’s safe for daily use by the entire family

(including those as young as 2) during periods of exposure risk. For an active head lice infestation, there’s Vamousse Lice Treatment.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH

by Grant Nichols

We attended the final season performance of Everything Glorious, presented by The Praise Team & Friends, January 4tb, at the Emanuel Lutheran Church in Bradford. There we photographed members of the group before and during the performance, and took plenty of videos throughout the event. While we’ve heard these singers before, it’s always a pleasure to hear the melody, harmony, and choral gymnastics (dynamic symmetry) allowed for by the many varied, seasoned and practiced voices of this choral group.

While the videos don’t do justice to the performance we’ve captured enough to give the viewers an idea of the complexity of the music, and the versatility of the singers……..Remember that the Nationally acclaimed Madison Rising Patriotic Band and others including localites Lyndsey Niegowski and Rick Griesbaum and his Friend or Faux Band will be performing at the Bradford Vets Club Event Center this Saturday, January 10th. Stop at the VFW, Cavallaro’s, or the Bradford Chamber office for tickets in advance……

While it’s nice to see prices for gasoline dropping, it would be nicer still to see them back where they belong, at about $1.50 per gallon. Since improvements in the local economies across the nation seem to be directly correlated to a drop in the price of oil and the subsequent drop in cost of gasoline, in an effort to keep the prices falling, we would go as far as calling for a moratorium on trading in the oil markets to keep them from being artificially inflated through derivative activity.

Not only should this improve our economy, but we should also consider that as the price of oil drops, income supplied by oil to renegade terrorist groups around the world will decrease. In other words, such a moratorium, beyond its therapeutic effect on our economy, could be considered as a big move toward a stronger national defense……..Dr. Albert Schweitzer not only espoused the philosophy of “reverence for life, ” he actually lived it with a lifetime of service to relieve pain and suffering, testing the conscience of all men. And because of this, in 1952 he received the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s hard to believe that President Barack Obama, the man who continued to support the funding of the U.S. war machine, allowed prison camps to remain open (continuing to deny the rights of a constitutionally established habeas corpus), and was the top military commander responsible for the assassination (rather than capture and trial) of Osama Bin Laden, would also receive a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. What a difference 57 years has made. What has happened to the meaning of the word, “peace”!

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist “Government Accountability ”

-by Bob Perry

As promised, with this and numerous articles to follow, you will be receiving ideas and encouragement on how you can take action that will reduce voter apathy with a way to hold elected officials accountable for any shortcomings. What I am proposing is for ordinary citizens like you and me to hold all elected representatives in a legal way that would stand the scrutiny of our Supreme Court.

The way our government has evolved it is apparent that the vision of our forefathers has not been followed. Their vision was for local and state governments to create laws and govern themselves with a federal government that was limited in their responsibilities.

Things changed. Our federal government has and continues to create laws that steal authority from our states with little or no fight from the states. Notably there is a serious lack of responsibility on the part of the Supreme Court as they are not providing oversight in making sure laws created by Congress are constitutional. The 10th Amendment to the Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, states that ‘the federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the states or the people‘. This was declared a truism by the Supreme Court in 1931. Seemingly we will be unable to hold the Supreme Court accountable but we surely can hold all elected officials accountable.

The government of the United States of America is a democratic republic and as such it is a commonwealth which denotes that all involved have a say. A commonwealth is a political system in which supreme power lies in the body of citizens who can elect people to represent them. ‘We the people’ are the source of all governmental power and ’we the people’ need to create laws that claim powers that are rightfully ours.

We have powers that are ‘unclaimed’ and we can and must ‘claim’ them.

Political action is required and it needs you and any organization desirous of righting the governmental ship that is more and more being steered by special interest groups of all kinds, with those interest groups exerting a greater influence on legislators and laws than we the electorate deserve. Be clear that all political parties are special interest groups and the action that is needed will affect their influence.

It has been my observation including

interaction with elected legislators, that virtually all legislators and executives violate their oath of office and we all know they are not held accountable.

We can do that! Legislators think they know best and we observe for example the ‘campaign finance laws’ they have created and we can, and do,need to fix that.

We can! Elected officials are our employees and as such they have forever been using a ‘license to lie’ but they do not have this unethical right! We can stop the lying by holding them accountable. Lets do it!

Today we can make formal complaints to the Depart of State in each state. This is about ‘state’s rights’ as well as ‘voters’ rights’. In order to accomplish all I have noted and more, we need to create laws which the complaints will force the state to file suit at the state level to resolve the complaint, and to hold the offending official accountable.

With legislatures at both the state and federal level seemingly incapable of ’minding itself’, we must do it! The key lies in the ability and the willingness of ’we the people’ to create law by creating initiatives (propositions), getting the required number of signatures, and getting the initiatives on the ballot of a general election.

The work needs to start NOW in order to get the initiatives on the ballot for the 2016 election. Note that numerous initiatives have succeeded in various states and it is time for ’we the people’ create targeted initiatives to ’right the ship’.

States vary in the creation of initiatives by placing some restrictions but I assert initiatives would find protection as a first amendment issue. I encourage all who read this article to have others follow the proposals that will follow in subsequent Journal issues. Look at the following article from 2012 in the Pennsylvania INDEPENDENT: http://paindependent.com/2012/11/ commentary-whats-missing-frompennsylvanias-ballot/ The time has come!

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Resetting Your Life For Retirement -by Jason Alderman The phrase “downsizing for retirement” is popular with Baby Boomers, the youngest of whom turned 50 last year.

It sparks a conversation about transition, which may include buying fewer new things, selling, gifting or donating possessions that are no longer needed and relocating to smaller quarters to create a more comfortable and affordable retirement.

If you’ve diligently saved and planned for retirement, most experts say you should do this “final approach” three to five years before your planned retirement date. If your retirement finances aren’t as stable, it’s smarter to start the transition as early as possible while time is on your side.

The Demand Institute, a nonprofit think tank founded by business research giants Nielsen and The Conference Board, reported last October (http://www.demandinstitute.org) that if the 2008 crash and its effect on employment, investments and housing prices had not happened, the typical Boomer household would have a net worth roughly 2.5 times what it is today.

This all the more reason for many Americans to review and possibly “reset” their retirement clocks. Here are some suggestions to help you figure out where you are on the pre-retirement spectrum and some changes you might consider: Get a retirement checkup. Spend some time with a financial, tax and/or estate advisor to evaluate your current strategies and set – or reset – a reasonable retirement savings goal and date. Consult friends and family for reliable experts first and for other qualified professionals and check online with your state CPA society, the Association for Financial Counseling Planning and Education or the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.

See if moving makes sense. Great retirement destinations offer more than great weather, inexpensive housing and an affordable tax environment. Consider whether you want to be near family, a thriving arts community or superior health facilities. Where do you start? You’ve probably seen popular lists of retirement communities in leading magazines, and they supply good food for thought. National agencies like the Council for Community and Economic Research (https:// www.c2er.org) produces an annual cost of living index for over 300 U.S. urban areas.

Get realistic property valuations. Even in a rising economy and recovering housing market, many homeowners need a reality check about real estate prices. The same likely goes for other valuables like antiques, jewelry and art. For real estate, get a broker valuation and do online backup checks with property transfer listings over the last year or two in your area. As for valuables, check appropriate markets

(from professional dealers to eBay) to sell, gift or donate those items and get tax and/ or estate advice before all transactions.

Clarify your tax picture. If you make a huge profit on your home, you may owe taxes on the sale. Current IRS rules allow most couples to exclude up to $500,000 in home sale gains from their taxable income and singles to exclude up to $250,000.

Check with your tax advisor and consult IRS Publication 523 (http://www.irs. gov/uac/Publication-523,-Selling-YourHome-1), “Selling Your Home.” Also, keep local property taxes and city and state taxes in mind if you’re considering

an out-of-state move.

Decide what you plan to do post-retirement. Retirees may have at least 20 to 30 years of lifespan to fill post-retirement.

If you’re hoping to keep working, start a business or transition permanently into travel or leisure activities, these future goals have to align with your current retirement plan.

Bottom line: Everyone should set a “final approach” for retirement. That means reviewing your investments, lifestyle goals and the possibility of a post-retirement career so you can adjust your money behavior to match.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE New Palliative Care AICR HealthTalk -by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN Resource Center American Institute for Cancer Research

(NAPSI)—Palliative care helps prevent, manage and relieve the symptoms of cancer and the side effects of cancer treatment, but too few patients with cancer receive this essential extra level of care.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the world’s leading professional organization of doctors who provide cancer care, aims to change this and has launched an online Palliative Care Resource Center that provides a wide range of information and tools for physicians and patients.

In addition to treating physical issues that may accompany cancer and cancer treatment, such as pain, fatigue and nausea, palliative care also focuses on supporting a patient’s emotional, spiritual and practical needs—and those of a patient’s family and caregivers.

Anyone, regardless of age or type and stage of cancer, may receive palliative care before, after and during treatment. Talking about palliative care soon after a cancer diagnosis helps patients better understand their prognosis and goals of treatment, clarifies their expectations, and maintains their quality of life.

ASCO is committed to facilitating the integration of palliative care into standard cancer care and will continue to offer support and leadership for various initiatives that will help ensure that every patient with cancer has access to this important part of a cancer treatment plan.

ASCO’s new webpage offers a comprehensive library of palliative care resources for physicians and features videos, podcasts and other materials for patients provided by ASCO’s patient website, Cancer.Net. To learn more about palliative care in cancer treatment, visit the ASCO Palliative Care Resource Center at www. asco.org/pallonc

Q: How do pumpkin, winter squash and sweet potatoes compare nutritionally? What are healthy ways to prepare them?

A: Pumpkin and winter squash (including acorn, butternut and hubbard) are in the same plant family, and their nutrient content is similar. As with sweet potatoes, the deep orange color of pumpkin and winter squash signals that they are very high in compounds called carotenoids. In laboratory studies, carotenoids function as antioxidants and aid in controlling cell growth, which could mean they help reduce cancer risk. Human studies link higher consumption of foods containing carotenoids with lower risk of some cancers. All three vegetables are also packed with potassium, which seems to promote good blood pressure control. All are good sources of vitamin C, too, with sweet potatoes containing the highest amounts. Sweet potatoes are richer in natural sugars and starches than most vegetables, making them higher in calories. One-half cup of sweet potatoes has about 90 calories compared to 30 to 40 calories in one-half cup of pumpkin or winter squash.

Many recipes with these vegetables include so much butter, margarine, sugar or syrup, they become quite high in calories. However, those additions are not necessary to enjoy their wonderful flavor. For a quick-and-easy way to boost nutrients and color to your meal, add puréed frozen or canned winter squash or pumpkin to soup, stew or even smoothies. (Just be sure the canned pumpkin is pure, unsalted pumpkin and not sweetened pumpkin pie mix.) Cubes of fresh squash, pumpkin or sweet potatoes are delicious in stir-fries and stews, and mix well with many different flavor combinations. All three choices are also terrific roasted in the oven, either alone or with other vegetables, drizzled with just a bit of olive oil; and you can cook them by steaming as well.

Q: How important is it to warm up and stretch before exercise?

A: Warming up before exercise is very important for people of all ages to reduce the chance of soreness or injury and to prepare your cardiovascular system for exercise. Older adults and those who have been inactive should be especially sure to make time for this vital element of physical activity. You can do a slow and easy version of whatever type of exercise you’ll be doing as your warmup, whether that means walking, swimming, dancing, tennis or working with weights. Pay special attention to warming up when exercising outdoors in cold weather. Even if your body as a whole feels warm, make sure the muscles in your arms and legs, which may be exposed to the wind and cold, have moved enough to feel warm. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, muscles are more elastic and ready to be stretched when they are warm, so warm up first and then stretch. As one option to stretch the muscles you’ll be using, simply move them through the full range of motion you’ll be using during your exercise.

Another option is called a static stretch; you gently stretch each muscle you’ll be using to the point of feeling slight tightness, and then hold that position for 10 to 30 seconds without bouncing.

In addition to the pre-exercise warm-up and stretch, the cool-down and afterexercise stretch are important. Take five to ten minutes of low-intensity movement to help your body settle back down to its normal state. Then while your muscles are loose, general stretching with focus on the muscles you just used will decrease chances of muscle soreness, and help improve and maintain the flexibility that makes all life activities easier. Try these flexibility exercise from the National Institutes of Health SeniorHealth website that show twelve major muscle areas which all benefit from stretching regularly, from neck and shoulders, through back, arms and each area of the legs.

Boomers Pursue Business Ownership Over Retirement (NAPSI)—Small businesses create jobs, help sustain communities and are a driving force behind the U.S. economy. What you may not know is that many take the leap to business ownership as an alternative to traditional retirement.

In fact, 62.2 percent of almost 1,000 small-business clients surveyed by Guidant Financial are 50 or older, with the highest percentage of new entrepreneurs between the ages of 51 and 58.

Why are many baby boomers leaving corporate America—or postponing retirement—and turning to business startups? According to the survey, approximately 10 percent of respondents cited not being ready to retire or coming out of retirement as their primary reason. For others, dissatisfaction with the corporate lifestyle or position, or fulfilling a lifelong entrepreneurial dream, drove the change.

Many of these entrepreneurs started their “encore” career with the help of a financing option called ROBS, or Rollovers as Business Startups. ROBS let prospective business owners leverage existing retirement assets to finance a business or purchase a franchise free of tax penalties. ROBS can also be used with traditional funding options, such as SBA loans, for supplemental financing.

For many who have trouble securing necessary business financing, ROBS

A Little Knowledge Can Make A Big Difference (NAPSI)—When it comes to pinpointing potentially serious issues with your vehicle, your nose may know more than you realize. For example, the smell of burnt toast might be a sign of an electrical short. The smell of rotten eggs may signal trouble with the emissions system, which includes the catalytic converter.

These and other tips are included in “Knowledge Is Power,” a booklet that’s part of a car-care and maintenance clinic developed by ACDelco. It gives vehicle owners easy-to-understand information about their vehicles so they can be informed and make the right choices when they visit an independent auto service center.

Here are some things you may not know about your vehicle: • Reddish stains on the driveway can be a sign of a transmission oil leak.

• If your technician asks if your vehicle’s brakes are “grabbing,” he wants to know if the brakes engage suddenly when you apply steady pressure to the brake pedal.

• You should pull over immediately if your temperature light reads in the hot zone. That probably means your vehicle’s coolant is too hot to cool your engine.

• Many brake pads have wear indicators. If your vehicle has them, they will

emit loud squeals when they detect wear.

• It’s a good idea to write down your vehicle’s symptoms before visiting a repair shop, including noises—and whether these occur when the engine is hot or cold.

• Air bags work with your safety belts, not as a replacement for them.

• Children under 13 should ride prop-

erly secured in the rear seat.

• Always keep at least a half tank of gas in your vehicle to avoid potential damage to your fuel filter or fuel line.

• Check your tire pressure frequently for safety and fuel economy. Hot and cold outside temperatures affect the pressure in your tires.

• Avoid oil and fuel additives unless recommended by your ser-vice consultant.

• Don’t use dish detergent to wash your car; it can hurt clearcoat finishes.

The “Knowledge Is Power” booklet is part of a presentation kit available to shops at no charge. Consumers can download the free booklet at www.acdelco.com/pdf/ Car-Maintenance-Car-Care-KnowledgeIs-Power-ACDelco.pdf.

For more than 100 years, ACDelco has been supplying parts, technical training and business expertise to independent auto ser-vice centers. To find out if a service center in your neighborhood is sponsoring a Knowledge Is Power clinic, visit ACDelco.com and click on “Find a Service Center.”

Expert Advice on Enticing Kids to Eat Their Fruits and Vegetables (NAPSI)—As many parents know, kids can be picky eaters. And according to a recent study, moms are concerned that their kids aren’t eating enough fruits and vegetables.

“We found that moms understand the health benefits of fruits and vegetables but struggle to get their family to eat them,” said Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., RD, president and CEO, Produce for Better Health Foundation. “Today, Americans are currently eating less than half of the recommended cups of fruits and vegetables each day.”

To better understand the situation, the Produce for Better Health Foundation conducted its annual research on “Moms’ Attitudes and Beliefs Related to Fruit & Vegetable Consumption.”

The study found: • Ninety percent agree that a diet that includes fruits and vegetables may help their child avoid obesity.

• Ninety percent agree that a diet with more fruits and vegetables promotes their family’s overall health and may prevent disease, now and in the future.

• Ninety percent agree that a diet that includes fruits and vegetables may help promote well-being of mind and body.

• Eighty-nine percent agree that more fruits and vegetables plus more physical activity means the family can be at its best.

There’s been a steady improvement over time in the level of ease moms reported regarding their ability to access fruits and vegetables for their families at restaurants and quick-service restaurants.

Setting out a fruit bowl, having vegetables cut up and ready to eat in the refrigerator, and finding ways to hide produce in other foods are some of the ways to get more fruits and vegetables into a family’s diet. The research also found that kids tend to eat more produce when they are involved in the growing, selecting and preparing of food. To get kids more involved, Pivonka provided these tips: 1. Let kids get involved in planning meals for the week and challenge them to find ways to make sure a fruit and vegetable are included in each meal. Remember, canned, frozen and dried fruits or vegetables, in addition to fresh, are all great options!

2. Get kids involved in using produce to make juices or smoothies. It can be a fun activity for kids to use a blender or juicer to show them there are other ways to eat your fruits and vegetables.

3. Teach kids about produce that’s in season and how to select the best produce.

Take them to a farmer’s market to talk with growers. This also provides a great opportunity to try new produce they didn’t know they enjoyed.

4. Starting a backyard garden can be a great way to get kids interested and in-

New Pets For Today’s Kids Are Digital (NAPSI)—It started with the Boomers.

A science experiment in schools to teach students responsibility, (or a simple scare tactic), known as The Pet Egg. Many actually enjoyed caring for their eggs, and the Pet Rock was also born. For thousands of years in fact, kids of all ages have loved to nurture and play parent with baby dolls and the like.

And moving on to Generation X, the eggs mentioned above were often replaced by bags of flour and more life-like crying/ peeing baby dolls. Now a full-fledged tradition across the country, kids, as part of their health ed class, often have to take care of an egg, (or something) for a few days or weeks, caring for it like a child or pet. If the egg is broken, failure is imminent.

This commitment to teach children the value of nurturing continued to evolve both in and outside the classroom, and in the 90’s Bandai introduced the Tamagotchi “virtual pet,” a hand-held electronic pet egg for Generation Y (Millennials) to feed, grow, and nurture. Tamagotchi became a massive phenomenon and more than 80 million units have been sold worldwide since then.

So where does that leave us today in the world of the virtual pets and nurturing playthings? As you may have guessed, all roads lead to digital. It turns out that Generation Z (Digital Natives) are just as interested in this play pattern as generations before; but now are caring for their pets via smart phones and tablets.

Enter Talking Tom and Friends. With more than 230 million active users each month, the app franchise introduced in

2010 has skyrocketed to success with 14 apps (soon to be 15). These apps for any smartphone or tablet by developer Outfit7 Limited, have been downloaded a whopping 2 billion+ times worldwide and, the characters from which, have gone on to enjoy success on YouTube, have licensed merchandise available around the world, and now have an animated series and movie in the making.

My Talking Tom was launched in 2013, letting fans adopt their very own baby kitten, name him and make him part of their daily lives. The app allows pet parents to interact with Tom like never before. Feed him, play with him and nurture him as he grows from a cute kitten to a fully-grown cat. Like the Tamagotchi before it, Tom teaches responsibility as he requires constant love and attention from his digital parent. The fun that every tween/teen is looking for!

What is especially great about today’s virtual pet is that, unlike before, each is personalized to their player. This year, My Talking Angela is the newest kitty up for virtual adoption when the app launches on the heels of Tom’s virtual pet success, just in time for the holidays for new tablet/ smart phone owners. Like Tom, you can adopt My Talking Angela as a cute kitten, (nurture her, feed her, brush her teeth), and help her grow into a stylish city kitty.

Not really a pet anymore, but more like a fashion-savvy superstar-a new BFF! Dress up My Talking Angela in the latest fashions and the cutest costumes, and give her the most amazing hairstyles. Make her home beautiful and feed her delicious

treats. Play games together, collect cool stickers to trade with friends, and much more. The My Talking Angela app is free and available on all platforms including Android, iPad, iPhone, and more.

Kinda makes that egg look rotten.

Supporting Your Pet’s Liver Health (NAPSI)—Many may be surprised to learn that a disease commonly associated with humans can also put your dog or cat at risk. Fortunately, there are management options.

Experts say that liver disease can affect pets of any age. The liver is the body’s largest internal organ and has many essential functions. It makes bile—which is used in the digestion of food—and produces enzymes, hormones, proteins and other substances. It also filters waste products in the bloodstream.

Signs of liver disease can be nonspecific and may include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, jaundice, poor attitude and increased thirst/urination, among others. If your pet is showing any of these signs, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. Diagnosing liver disease involves an examination and labwork plus, potentially, X-rays and an ultrasound.

Management Options Management depends on the specific issue, but no matter what the issue is,

S-adenosylmethionine may be recommended to support brain health, too, especially in senior dogs. Both Denosyl for Dogs and Marin for Cats and Dogs are now available at Petsmart.

Denosyl liver health supplement for dogs and cats and Marin liver health supplement for dogs and cats are from Nutramax Laboratories Veterinary Sciences, Inc., the maker of Cosequin® joint health supplement.

To learn more, visit: www.PetLiverHealth.com your veterinarian may recommend a supor call 888-886-6442 plement to help support your pet’s liver health.

For instance, the s-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) supplement Denosyl® can help by increasing levels of glutathione, an antioxidant and the liver’s main detoxifier.

It’s also thought another option, Marin® liver health supplement, can help provide support and protection. It contains silybin A+B (actives from milk thistle extract) and vitamin E; Marin for Dogs also contains zinc.
