Vigor and Sage
Astragalus Well-Being Senior
Summary
Vigor and Sage Astragalus Well-Being Senior is a grain-free dry cat food formulated specifically for senior cats, combining high-quality animal proteins with functional botanicals to support aging-related health needs.
The first ingredient, fresh boneless turkey meat, provides a lean, highly digestible source of animal protein that supports muscle maintenance in older cats.
With a crude protein level of 30% and fat at 12%, the formula offers a balanced macronutrient profile suitable for maintaining energy and lean body mass in less active, aging felines.
Carbohydrates make up 38% of the formula, primarily from peas, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, offering digestible energy but also contributing to the overall glycemic load.
Salmon oil and linseed supply natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and support joint, skin, and coat health—key concerns in senior cats.
Functional herbs such as astragalus, hawthorn, and licorice are included for their traditional roles in supporting immune function, cardiovascular health, and stress resilience, although their efficacy in cats is not clinically established.
Added glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate provide joint support, helping to maintain mobility and comfort in aging cats.
Natural antioxidants from green tea and vitamin E (450 IU/kg) help combat oxidative stress, which increases with age and contributes to cellular aging.
The inclusion of taurine (0.12%) supports heart and eye health, while L-carnitine (250 mg/kg) aids in fat metabolism and weight control.
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) act as prebiotics, promoting healthy gut flora and digestive function in senior cats.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
