Safeguard Your Cat's Kidneys with Dr. Toru's AIM Supplements
KEEPING CATS HAPPY AND HEALTHY
The leading cause of death in cats is kidney disease and complications associated with the disease.
Greycoat Research strives to extend the lives of cats while ensuring they remain happy and healthy through it all. We hope that one day, every cat will be able to celebrate its 30th birthday.
Dr. Toru Protocol
Dr. Toru Protocol is a cat kidney supplement co-developed by Greycoat Research and the Institute of AIM Medicine. The supplement activates a protein known as AIM within a cat’s body to help trigger the cleanup of waste that has accumulated within the body. This cleaning process protects the cat’s kidneys from chronic kidney disease. Dr. Toru Protocol provides your cats with the support they need to ensure their kidneys function properly.

The supplement is made up of an optimal balance of ingredients to boost your cat’s immune system, treat vitamin deficiencies, and provide antioxidant and anti-inflammation capabilities.

AIM (Apoptosis Inhibitor of Macrophage) is a blood protein first discovered by Dr. Toru Miyazaki. Under healthy conditions, AIM exists at approximately 5 μg/mL in the bloodstream and generally remains inactive and bound to a type of antibody known as Immunoglobulin M (IgM). When activated, AIM will bind to various types of waste, such as cellular debris, damaged proteins, or inflammatory molecules released by dead cells, and serve as a marker to signal the waste for cleanup. This cleanup process helps protect the body from developing diseases.
In cats, however, the AIM is unable to properly activate and detach from IgM. This means that the AIM is unable to trigger the disposal of waste in the kidneys, resulting in cats becoming susceptible to kidney disease and chronic inflammation. Dr. Toru Protocol helps trigger the activation of AIM in cats’ bodies, thereby facilitating the cleanup of waste in their bodies to prevent feline kidney disease.
