Superior HMR Lignans and Melatonin stand as defenders against the ravages of Cushing’s disease in our cherished canine companions. Their efficacy in mitigating inflammation and combating oxidative stress is also well-documented, offering a beacon of hope in the pursuit of enhanced quality of life for affected dogs. This combination is often recommended by experts and veterinarians as a first line treatment to lessen the effects of Cushing’s disease by blunting the production of excess cortisol and cortisone, the corticosteroids at the root of the disease.
Phosphatidylserine is a type of phospholipid and as a lipid type molecule it is very absorbable. PS can form circular chains which can capture the melatonin molecules within it and whisk the melatonin into the bloodstream along with it, overcoming the lignan’s barrier to absorption and enhancing the absorption efficiency of the formula. This is what makes CushAway the best natural supplement available to help your precious pooch in the fight against Cushing’s.
Melatonin, a natural hormone that can blunt the production of corticosteroids is also known for its role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and exerting antioxidant effects. It unfortunately has its absorption muted by combining it with lignans, especially the inferior SDG lignans from flaxseed. Enter CushAway’s unique formulation which combines the traditional lignan/melatonin combination with a new ally, phosphatidylserine and makes it the most effective supplement available.
PS (phosphatidylserine), a fatty substance protecting nerve cells in the brain and enabling them to communicate among each other, is sometimes used for Alzheimer disease and normal age-related decline in memory. Importantly it has also been shown in studies to blunt the production of excess corticosteroids. It also helps the melatonin overcome the lignans tendency to hinder its absorption.
Veterinarians often face a dilemma when treating Cushing’s disease — what to do with mild to moderate cases when symptoms aren’t severe enough to justify the risks associated with using Vetoryl. Now, CushAway gives you another safe and natural option in the fight against canine Cushing’s disease.
Unlike many folk or traditional remedies, CushAway contains three scientifically backed active ingredients — HMR lignans, melatonin, and phosphatidylserine — that have been shown to help reduce the production of corticosteroids, the root cause of Cushing’s disease.
CushAway also includes probiotic gut bacteria that support digestion and absorption, allowing these active ingredients to work together for maximum effectiveness.
A 1999 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association study of internists and dermatologists revealed that more than 50% of board-certified specialists would not treat a dog that has no signs or only minimal clinical signs consistent with Cushing’s disease even if testing indicated they had the disease. The overriding reason for this was concern over an Addisonian crisis reaction or other negative side effects, especially in older dogs.
Research indicates that the active ingredients in CushAway — phosphatidylserine, melatonin, and HMR lignans — reduce the production of corticosteroids or help rapidly deplete them. Using just CushAway alone may be enough to achieve the desired effect in borderline and mild cases of Cushing’s disease, and in more severe cases may be able to reduce your dependence on, or dosage of, stronger prescription medications that carry the risk of more serious side effects than the all-natural active ingredients in CushAway.
Always consult with your veterinarian before use.
Trilostane (Vetoryl) works in a similar fashion to CushAway in that it disrupts the chemical process through which cortisol is made. Research indicates that the active ingredients in CushAway — phosphatidylserine, melatonin, and HMR lignans — reduce the production of corticosteroids or help rapidly deplete them. Using just CushAway alone may be enough to achieve the desired effect in borderline and mild cases of Cushing’s disease, and in more severe cases may reduce your dependence on, or dosage of, Trilostane (Vetoryl).
A 1999 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association study revealed that more than 50% of specialists would not treat a dog with minimal clinical signs, largely due to concern over side effects such as an Addisonian crisis. CushAway’s all-natural ingredients carry a lower risk of serious side effects than either Trilostane or Mitotane.
Always consult with your veterinarian before use.
CushAway is a nutritional supplement designed to aid in the treatment of Cushing’s disease. It is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent any disease or illness. Only your veterinarian can diagnose whether or not your dog has Cushing’s disease, and you should consult your veterinarian before starting your animal on this or any nutritional supplement.
There was concern regarding phosphatidylserine made from bovine byproducts, but CushAway uses a vegetable-based form that contains no meat or animal byproducts, so there is no risk of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease).
The fact that your vet can find no sign of Cushing’s disease in your dog indicates that the product is working exactly as intended. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Cushing’s disease — CushAway helps regulate the overproduction of cortisone and cortisol. If you stop giving it, your dog’s body will likely return to overproducing these hormones.
Continued use is recommended for ongoing results.

The recommended dosage of the CushAway nutritional supplement is one tablet per 30 pounds of the dog’s body weight. The tablets are conveniently scored and can be broken by hand in order to better adjust the dosage for your dog’s weight. Because the product contains melatonin, it is recommended that it be administered in the evening before meals.

No definitive research or science has been able to prove exactly how the active ingredients in CushAway work, but studies have shown that phosphatidylserine, melatonin, and HMR lignans help reduce the production of cortisone and cortisol or help rapidly deplete them once introduced into the body.
The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine recommends melatonin and HMR lignans as a first-line treatment for mild cases of Cushing’s disease and as an adjunct treatment in more severe cases. Phosphatidylserine increases the efficacy of melatonin by improving absorption. The probiotics in CushAway are added to increase digestive efficiency and enhance the absorption of active ingredients.
CushAway is manufactured by a nationally recognized nutritional supplement company that specializes in human nutritional supplements. It is produced to exacting standards for BestFriends Biotechnics in an FDA-approved and inspected facility that meets or exceeds all standards for human consumption.
CushAway is made from the highest quality all-natural active ingredients and presents very little risk of negative side effects. The side effects caused by the active ingredients are generally beneficial — probiotics improve digestion, and melatonin can promote calmness, relaxation, and better-quality sleep while helping to regulate hormonal rhythms.
HMR lignans have occasionally been shown to cause temporary loosening of stool in dogs, but no other significant negative side effects have been reported. This product does contain soy. You should consult your veterinarian before starting your animal on any drug or supplement.
CushAway was developed by the founder of BestFriends Biotechnics to treat his own dog, who was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease at age 12 and was successfully treated for seven years. The formula evolved over time based on research and real-world results. Since no comparable product existed with this unique combination of ingredients, CushAway was born.
It is made from the highest quality all-natural ingredients by a nationally recognized manufacturer in an FDA-approved and inspected facility that meets or exceeds standards for human consumption.
