It is a new generation supplement for dogs and cats, developed to provide nutritional support and strengthen joint health. Composition:GLUCOSAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE HYDROCHLORATE It is indispensable for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, a component of cartilage and synovial fluid. Allows increased mobility, elasticity and load-bearing capacity of joint structures. The hydrochloride form ensures increased bioavailability. CHONDROITINE SULPHATE Stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in chondrocytes, which gives cartilage the ability to absorb shock. It also maintains the balance and water content of the cartilage and, together with collagen, ensures tensile strength. Its role is to keep the synovial fluid fluid and healthy. METHYLSUPHONYLMETHANE (MSM) It is able to reduce and control the pain that results in the processes of joint degeneration. It allows an increased mobility of the joints and offers a clear improvement of the quality of life. HARPAGOPHYTUM PROCUMBENS(Purified Standardized Extract) It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, especially in painful joint manifestations. Studies indicate that they can inhibit both the metabolism of arachidonic acid, the cyclooxygenase (COX) and the lipoxygenase (LOX), reducing the production of eicosanoids, such as prostaglandins. Regarding COX-mode inhibition, Harpago appears to specifically inhibit COX-2, but not COX-1, which explains its high tolerance and reduced side effects, unlike some NSAIDs that inhibit both isoforms of the enzyme. KRILL OIL The most bioactive and pure source of Omega 3 fatty acids - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) - with anti-inflammatory action demonstrated in the control and expression of mediatorsproinamatory and anti-inflammatory drugs (cytokines and leukotrienes) and COX-2 gene expression. Rich in astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant in the carotenoid family, with proven anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. The incorporation of astaxanthin into the mycelium formed by the omega 3 phospholipids, allows an adequate absorption, determining a high bioavailability of krill oil. HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN TYPE II Collagen has a structural role in the joints, being the major constituent of cartilage. Type II collagen has a specific action in the joints, reducing inflammation and degradation of collagen, already present in the joint. The presence of type II collagen leads to a decrease in the immune response and collagenase expression, responsible for the destructive cycle of cartilage. ZINC SULPHATE It is a key element of the diet, essential for enzymatic processes throughout the body. It is especially important in cartilage formation. MANGANESE This trace element is the most common cofactor for glycosyltransferases, enzymes essential in the synthesis of proteoglycans, necessary for the formation of cartilage and bone. C VITAMIN It is the main antioxidant of the body. Ascorbic acid neutralizes the effects of free radicals produced in the joint structure. It also plays an important role as a metabolic in joint function.
