Mode of Function:

 

• The main advantages of  Frond Elite - Ultra are rapid rehydration, correction of metabolic acidosis, prevention of hypoglycemia, and gut health support. Frond Elite - Ultra is research and field proven to result in high recovery rates from incidences of  moderate and severe diarrhea. Blood acidemia and low blood glucose are proven killers of diarrheic calves and MUST be corrected. FRONDI LITE MAX addresses both concerns while also dramatically improving voluntary fluid intake thus minimizing the necessity for difficult to administer IV fluids.

• Sugars: adequate concentrations to raise blood glucose and thus helping keep the calf alert and     consuming fluids and nutrition. Glucose is also an important transport mechanism for replacing the     tremendous losses of essential electrolytes that occur during a bout of diarrhea.

• Glycine: Provides a second, independent pathway for sodium absorption. Using both sugar and glycine      together increases the speed of water uptake.

• Optimum electrolyte balance:  Electrolyte sources are balanced for strong ion difference (SID) – proven    to result in improved recovery from diarrhea

• Sodium Acetate & Sodium Citrate: Diarrheic calves die from blood acidemia, and these "alkalinizing     agents” are essential to correct this metabolic killer. Unlike sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate does not neutralize stomach acid thus keeping the natural bactericidal acid-environment barrier that prevents pathogen proliferation in the gut. Instead, they are metabolized in the liver, releasing buffers into theb lood stream from there.

• Palatants proven to improve voluntary intake: The entire formula is proven to dramatically improvedouble!) voluntary fluid intake compared to offering plain water to diarrheic calves.

• Dried Bacillus Subtilis: A beneficial probiotic. It helps crowd out "bad" bacteria like E. coli or Salmonella and restores the natural microbial balance in the gut.

 

​​Stability & Palatability:

 

Shelf-stable formula – sodium acetate is the research and field proven best blood buffer to include in a calf  diarrhea treatment-type electrolyte. However, it is very reactive with common ingredients used in an electrolyte typically resulting in degraded unusable product with minimal or no shelf-life. Frond Elite-Ultra is formulated and manufactured with laboratory and field proven shelf stability, so your diarrheic calves are treated with the best live-saving blood buffer without typically associated powder degradation problems.

Highly palatable formula: Calves are sensitive to taste. The entire formula is research proven to optimize voluntary intake frequently resulting in consumption of the full dose reducing the need for stressful tube feeding.

Glycyrrhizin Ammoniated: may have mild anti-inflammatory properties for the gut lining.

Summary of Main Advantages:

 

•Dual-Action Absorption: Uses both sugar and glycine for maximum hydration efficiency.

•Balanced for strong ion difference -  formula optimized to correct acidemia and restore lost electrolytes

•Safe Buffering: Corrects acidosis without raising gut pH for sustained periods, allowing for pathogen proliferation

•Energy Boost: The sugar provides immediate calories for a weak, lethargic calf.

•Formulated to optimize voluntary intake – no one likes to tube a calf and replacing lost fluids is goal number one

•Active Recovery: Probiotics actively fight the cause of the diarrhea rather than just treating the symptom.
