Formulated by vets, VBS Amino B+K (120ml Liquid) is a liquid-based feed supplement that seeks to replace lost critical molecules and potassium ions to support normal bladder function. It can provide additional nutritional support for convalescing pets and animals with conditions that affect potassium balance.

Key Ingredients

VBS Amino B+K has a carefully selected combination of key ingredients that work together:

Potassium: Coordinates muscle contractions and brain impulses, and controls movement of substances in and out of cells. Helps maintain heart rhythm and normal kidney function.
Amino Acids: The building blocks for all proteins in the body’s cells. They support tissue repair, digestive function, and immune response.
Vitamin B Complex: Vital for energy metabolism, protein synthesis, and transport of nutrients into cells.
Iron: Necessary for the synthesis of haemoglobin, the vital oxygen carrier for cellular metabolism.

Low Potassium

The following conditions can result in low potassium levels (hypokalaemia):

Renal Insufficiency
Chronic Renal Failure (CKD)
Anorexia
Liver Disorders
Lower Urinary Tract Infections
Diabetes
Cardiovascular Disease
Systemic Disease

Hypokalaemia is a very common electrolyte imbalance in cats, particularly those with underlying health conditions. In one study by the Colorado State Vet School, 37% of sick cats had hypokalaemia. The prevalence of potassium deficiency increases sharply with age in cats with renal issues:

Cats over 10 years: 30–50% affected
Cats over 15 years: 50–80% affected

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the leading causes of illness and death in senior cats. A major challenge is that cats typically do not show clinical signs until at least 67% of their kidney function is lost, meaning the disease is often advanced by the time it is diagnosed through physical symptoms alone.

It is always recommended that owners seek veterinary advice if they suspect any of the above or are concerned about their pet’s health before taking supplementary nutritional support.

Directions for Use

VBS Amino B+K is highly palatable and presented in a liver and bacon flavoured liquid, making it easy to administer and highly effective.

Shake bottle well before each use.
Using the provided measured dropper, give 2 ml per 5 kg body weight, 1–3 times daily, or according to veterinary advice.
Can be given directly or mixed with food.
Ensure fresh water is available to the animal at all times.

Active Ingredients (per 2 ml)

Active Ingredient	Amount per 2 ml	Function & Benefit
Potassium (Potassium Gluconate)	468 mg	Maintains electrolyte balance, supports muscle function, nerve impulses, heart rhythm, and kidney health.
Proprietary Amino Acid Blend (lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, taurine, threonine, arginine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, glutamine, histidine)	6.67 mg	Protein building blocks; support tissue repair, digestion, and immune function.
Pantothenic Acid (Calcium Pantothenate)	5 mg	Essential B-vitamin for energy metabolism and nutrient conversion.

Spirulina	3.34 mg	Natural superfood; antioxidant support, immune system support, and cellular protection.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HCl)	1 mg	Supports nervous system and energy metabolism.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin 5-Phosphate)	1 mg	Important for cellular energy production and metabolism.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl)	1 mg	Assists amino acid metabolism and nervous system function.
Elemental Iron (from aqueous liver fractions)	70 mcg	Necessary for haemoglobin synthesis and oxygen transport to cells.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)	2 mg	Supports red blood cell formation, nerve health, and DNA synthesis.

How It Works

VBS Amino B+K delivers a targeted blend of potassium, amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and spirulina to support pets at risk of low potassium or recovering from illness.

Potassium: Helps maintain normal heart rhythm, muscle function, nerve impulses, and kidney function. Essential for CKD cats to prevent hypokalaemia.
Amino acids & B vitamins: Support protein synthesis, energy metabolism, immune health, and recovery from illness.
Iron & Spirulina: Enhance oxygen transport, provide antioxidant protection, and support overall cellular health.

Regular use can help restore electrolyte balance, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, particularly in older or convalescing pets.

Pet Parent Review

“After my senior cat was diagnosed with low potassium and CKD, VBS Amino B+K made a huge difference. She is energetic again, and administering it is easy thanks to the flavour. Highly recommend!” — Liam M.

Perfect For

Dogs and cats with low potassium or at risk of hypokalaemia

Important Notice

Always consult your veterinarian before use, particularly for pets with kidney disease, heart conditions, or electrolyte imbalances.

• Discontinue and contact your vet if your pet’s condition worsens.
• Store in a cool, dry place (10–25°C), away from direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children and other animals.
• For Animal Use Only.
• Please contact your veterinarian in the case of accidental overfeeding.
• Do not use if tamper-evident seal is broken or missing.
• Keep out of reach of children and other animals.

Important

Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to monitor urinary tract health, kidney function, and overall wellbeing — especially for cats prone to struvite stones, FLUTD, or renal issues.
