Abstract
Disclosed herein are compositions to meet the needs of aged pets and other animals. Pet foods, pet treats and pet supplements with anti-aging effects are disclosed whose compositions include the R-α-lipoic acid in the amount of 0.10 grams to 1.5 grams and L-carnitine in the amount of 0.10 grams to 3 grams in addition to the usual composition. Optionally, coenzyme Q can be added in an amount of at least 1 mg/day. Optionally, creatine can be added in an amount of at least 0.2 grams/day. These additional components fight age-related declines in mitochondrial function, which result in less energy and other signs of aging.
