By the time you notice the dip across your dog's spine or the hollowing over your cat's hindquarters, significant muscle mass has already been lost. Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), cachexia (illness-related wasting), and post-surgical muscle loss share one cause: the body breaks down its own muscle protein faster than it can rebuild it. And once that muscle is gone, rebuilding it through diet alone is extremely difficult — because the body needs specific amino acids in specific ratios to trigger muscle protein synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVFCore AA is built around that science. Each 12g lickable sachet delivers 320mg of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) — Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine — the three amino acids that directly signal muscle cells to start building protein and stop breaking it down. The dose aligns with the clinical recommendation of 100–150 mg\/kg of BCAA for muscle preservation in companion animals, making VFCore AA effective for everyday support and therapeutic recovery alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut muscle care isn't only about BCAAs. VFCore AA layers in 120mg of L-Glutamine — the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and a critical fuel for gut lining cells and immune cells under stress. During illness, surgery, and intensive exercise, glutamine demand outstrips supply, and supplementation helps preserve muscle while supporting gut integrity and immunity. The formula also delivers 50mg of L-Arginine, which drives nitric oxide production for better blood flow to recovering tissues, supports protein synthesis, and accelerates wound healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecovery isn't just about protein. The formula adds 360mg of Marine Oil for natural Omega-3 (EPA \u0026amp; DHA), Sunflower Oil for Omega-6, and Melofeed SOD — a freeze-dried French melon concentrate that scavenges free radicals up to 1,000,000 times more effectively than standard antioxidants. Combined with a full B-complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, and key minerals, every sachet delivers the complete metabolic toolkit recovering muscle needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lickable paste format matters more than most pet parents realise. Sick, senior, and post-surgical pets often refuse pills, capsules, and powders. They've usually lost their appetite. Forcing a tablet creates stress, missed doses, and inconsistent results. VFCore AA's tuna-with-salmon paste base is highly palatable — most pets lick it directly from the sachet or off a finger — which means consistent daily dosing during the exact period when consistency matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVFCore AA is suitable for a wide range of clinical and lifestyle indications: visible muscle wasting in pets with chronic illness, kidney disease, cancer, or heart failure; post-surgical muscle restoration after orthopaedic, soft-tissue, or dental procedures; rescued or chronically underweight pets being rehabilitated to healthy body condition; daily support for sporting dogs, working dogs, and police K9s where peak performance and rapid recovery matter; and ongoing maintenance in senior pets where age-related muscle loss begins as early as middle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formulation is co-developed under the Lyra Division — a therapeutic supplement line built specifically for veterinary recommendation. Every ingredient has a clinical purpose, every dose is matched to evidence-based recommendations, and the format is engineered for compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pet parents managing recovery, ageing, or athletic demand, VFCore AA replaces the guesswork of mixing protein powders, kibble toppers, and generic multivitamins with one clinically focused, vet-formulated solution. One sachet daily — lickable, palatable, complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether your pet is healing from a TPLO surgery, fighting cachexia from chronic kidney disease, training for canicross, or simply showing the early signs of age-related muscle loss, VFCore AA delivers the exact amino acids muscle needs to be preserved, repaired, and rebuilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with VFCore RB (Blood Care) for surgical recovery support, or with VFCore JC (Joint Care) in senior pets where muscle loss and joint disease often progress together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNutritional Positioning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTherapeutic Amino Acid Complementary Feed | Vet-Formulated for Muscle Preservation, Recovery \u0026amp; Athletic Support | BCAA-Forward Formulation at Clinical Dose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVFCore AA sits in the therapeutic supplement category, not the general wellness category.
