Marketing - Other / nutritional supplements
Italian term or phrase: un arma in più
Know what it means but need to find a suitable term to fit the following sentance from a catalogue of dietary supplements with herb extracts for cats and dogs:

Solo il meglio degli elementi naturali, il loro benessere ha un arma in più

Any bright ideas? I'm flagging! Thanks in advance.

extra defence / fighting goodness
Explanation:
I suggest this in the context of health and vitamin content being described as a defence in various marketing and commercial campaigns. Could be phrased as:

"...provides an extra defence"
"...equipped with a fighting goodness"

My sample sentences do not come from info on dog/cat supplements, but do show how my suggestions are commonly used.
