Breakdown of Ingredients


Active Ingredients

Glucosamine HCl
Glucosamine is naturally produced in the body to maintain the health of the cartilage within joints. Joint issues can lead to decreased production of glucosamine, causing degeneration of the cartilage over time. Supplementation using glucosamine helps build lost cartilage by stimulating chondrocytes in the joint. Glucosamine also helps maintain the integrity of the synovial fluid, improving mobility and reducing occasional discomfort. 

Great for - mobility, joint integrity

MSM
Methylsulfonylmethane is a compound that is naturally produced by the body but is also found in a lot of fresh foods. MSM helps to improve blood flow to the affected areas and it’s also able to reduce discomfort and promote healthy inflammatory pathways. 

Great for - blood flow, joint integrity

Yucca Schidigera

Yucca Schidigera is a plant that is native to Mexico. Yucca helps to relieve occasional discomfort and stiffness caused by joint issues and aging.

Great for - discomfort, mobility

Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin is a compound that is naturally produced in the body. Chondroitin supplementation can help to enhance the functions of joint and connective tissue, as well as stimulate the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Great for - joint structure support, mobility

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in the joint cavity in order to help lubricate the joints, making it easier to move. Using a supplement with Hyaluronic Acid can help replace lubrication in the joints that is typically lost with age.

Great for - joint lubrication, mobility

Calcium Ascorbate (Vitamin C)

Vitamin C has been shown to help with the absorption of glucosamine and therefore help it act more effectively.

Great for - compound absorption

Omega 3 EPA/DHA
Omega 3 fatty acids are important for maintaining many different aspects of health, including joint health. They help relieve occasional stiffness by promoting a healthy immune response in the joints.

Great for - immune support, joint flexibility
Green-Lipped Mussels
Green-lipped mussels provide many health benefits as they contain high levels of omega 3s, glucosamine, chondroitin, zinc, and magnesium which help to maintain healthy joints and connective tissue

Great for - structural integrity, stiffness

Signs & Symptoms of Discomfort 

With 1 in 5 dogs developing joint issues in their lifetime (reference), it’s  very important for pet parents to look out for and recognise signs of joint discomfort. Some signs to look out for include:

  • Limping

  • Difficulty stand up and/or lying down

  • Shaking legs

  • Uneven weight bearing and/or favoring one side 

These are also very common signs of other issues. If your pet exhibits one or more of these, please consult your veterinarian.
