Product Information

I have used this supplement for many years on dogs with arthritis. It has really helped all of them and with the muscle maintenance it seems to slow down the muscle atrophy in the arthritic limbs. Great product. The voluntary, or striated, muscles also suffer from high levels of wear. We are probably all aware of the “ratchet” mechanism of muscle contraction, where muscle fibres slide over each over, but it does have certain limitations. Foremost is the conversion of a biochemical process (energy generation in the form of ATP) into a mechanical result, and it is accompanied by the generation of ultrastructural damage and the release of oxidative free radicals.

Tocotrienol antioxidants are a natural form of vitamin E. They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption.Maintains flexibility of movement in all working and pet dogs regardless of age, size and level of exercise.

Amino Acids, Minerals, Vitamins, Toxin Binder, Mono & Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids and Bio-Available Minerals & Trace Elements

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – helps to maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues and crucial for the production of collagen. Oat Derived Beta Glucans (Oatinol) – with prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) -MSM is a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues. It is also essential for the manufacture of collagen.High levels of arginine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine and valine, essential for the production of muscle tissue. Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption. Phospholipids (Oatinol) – proven to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption. Analytical Constituents

Essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals. Both vascular development and cell membrane lipids benefit from Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Although Omega-6 is sometimes regarded as being pro-inflammatory (it is actually anti-inflammatory but less so than omega-3), it is also a critical component in improving vascular flow. Omega-3 fatty acids are important in maintaining the neutral and phospho-lipids in the cell membrane. Trace Minerals (x3) -Provides selenium, manganese and magnesium to help maintain low levels of muscle reaction to work. An active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium.Curcumin -the active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium. Vitamin C - essential for the production of collagen and the maintenance of the body’s immune system.
