Take on Ulcerative Dermatitis with DietGel® Derm
DietGel® Derm is a nutritionally fortified dietary supplement, combining key prebiotic and nutritional ingredients identified as supporting gut health and the conditions associated with addressing ulcerative dermatitis (UD) in rodents. Researchers studying both the cause and treatment of UD have linked dietary fat content, fatty acid balance, and fiber as instrumental in the incidence of UD.
