At Greycoat Research, we’re always asking how to go beyond food, hydration, and supplements to support cats with CKD.
And one simple practice continues to show promise:
🕗 An 8-Hour Fast – Activate AMPK Naturally
When a cat fasts for 8 hours or more, it activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase)—a key metabolic switch that:
✔ Restores cellular energy
✔ Clears out waste
✔ Reduces inflammation
AMPK plays a critical role in kidney cell repair and stress reduction.
That’s why even a short, gentle fast can support kidney health at the cellular level.
⚠️ Important: Fasting too long may be harmful. We recommend starting with 8 hours—ideally overnight while your cat sleeps.
📌 How to Start
If your cat is used to free-feeding, start small.
Try removing the food bowl before bed—so your cat naturally experiences a gentle overnight fast.
No drastic diet changes are needed.
What matters is creating time for AMPK to activate.
💊 Support Through Supplementation
While fasting initiates AMPK activation, certain nutrients can further enhance this effect.
That’s why we formulated Intensive Protocol—a kidney-safe blend including:
-
Resveratrol
-
Quercetin
-
Fucoidan
Together, these ingredients support your cat’s cellular metabolism—laying the foundation for long-term kidney wellness.
Supporting feline kidney health isn’t just about numbers on a lab report.
It’s about helping the body heal from within.
