Nov 19, 2017 | Dog Health, Dog Tips

Arthritis in dogs is the #1 most common health problems that Vets encounter. Use Supplements to safely improve joint mobility and support better joint function.

Glucosamine Sulfate

Safe and effective to help repair damaged cartilage by stimulating the production of natural glucosamine in the body. Lubricates joints, help cartilage retain water and prevent its breakdown. Works best in conjunction with Chondroitin Sulfate.

Chondroitin Sulfate

Believed to enhance the shock-absorbing properties of collagen and block enzymes that break down cartilage. Helps cartilage retain water and may reverse cartilage loss when used with glucosamine.

MSM

Organic sulfur compound. Sulfur is needed to form connective tissue. MSM also seems to act as an analgesic by lessening nerve impulses that transmit pain.

Turmeric (Curcumin)

Traditionally used in Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic medicine to treat arthritis turmeric/curcumin blocks inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Since part of the pain from arthritis in dogs is caused by inflammation, Turmeric (Curcumin) can help to relieve discomfort.

Boswellia (Indian Frankincense)

Another natural ingredient used for centuries as a natural anti-inflammatory and pain reducer. It speeds up the healing from infections and increases blood flow. Boswellia prevents autoimmune disease by controlling the production of antibodies. Studies suggest that the combination of Boswellia and Turmeric have a beneficial effect due to the interactions of their co-occurring phytochemicals which help prevent toxicity.

Final Thoughts

Remember to keep a low-stress environment, and plenty of affection and patience to give your dog a longer, healthier life!
