Summary

Nutram Ideal Solution Support I12 Weight Control is a dry cat food formulated to help manage weight while providing balanced nutrition.
The primary protein sources are chicken meal and deboned chicken, supplying essential amino acids for maintaining lean muscle mass.
Pearled barley, oatmeal, peas, and brown rice are included as carbohydrate sources, providing sustained energy while helping to control calorie intake.
A fiber blend from dried beet pulp, pea fiber, and pumpkin aids digestion and promotes satiety, making it suitable for weight management.
Salmon meal and salmon oil contribute omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin, coat, and joint health.
Nutram’s Optimum Combinations include cranberries and celery seeds, which help support urinary tract health by maintaining proper pH balance and fluid regulation.
The formula is fortified with L-carnitine (500 mg/kg), which is involved in fat metabolism and weight control.
Chicory root extract promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting digestive health.
This formula is designed to be a complete and balanced diet for adult cats and is free from artificial additives.

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.
