Joint Support Formula, 120 Soft Chews

Comprehensive musculoskeletal support for dogs and cats.

Supports the health of muscles and joints, assists in healing, and assists mobility in active and aging animals.

Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Support

Joint Support Formula Powder (formerly Arthroplex Powder) helps optimize the normal function of joints and muscles, as well as providing nutrients and botanicals that are necessary for creating collagen, repairing damage, and maintaining a healthy inflammatory response.

Key Nutritional Support Features:

• Provides the proven joint support of chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate, MSM, hyaluronic acid, and ascorbic acid
• CurcurVet (R) curcumin phytosome, Boswellia, and bromelain help maintain a normal inflammatory response.
• DL-Phenylalanine helps dampen the pain response

Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin Sulfate, and Hyaluronic Acid

Glucosamine and chondroitin are both natural components of cartilage. Numerous animal and human studies have examined the effect of giving these nutrients orally on joint health, and have demonstrated significant clinical benefit.

Hyaluronic acid is also a normal component of cartilage and joint structures, and has been shown to be a “chondroprotectant” - a substance that protects cartilage from damage.

MSM

MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane) provides sulfur compounds for the formation of cartilage. A combination product containing MSM, glucosamine sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate was given to rats with experimentally-induced joint inflammation. The combination provided protection against cartilage damage when given acutely, and better protection when given chronically.

Botanical Extracts
Curcumin Phytosome

Curcumin, an orange-pigmented substance derived from turmeric root, has been shown in many animal and human studies to dampen inflammation and improve quality of life. CurcuVet® curcumin phytosome is the best absorbed and most clinically-researched curcumin product on the market.
Bromelain

Bromelain, derived from pineapple stems, dampens inflammation and has been shown to speed healing and resolution of bruising.
Boswellia

Boswellia, also known as Indian Frankincense, has been demonstrated in animal and human clinical studies to benefit joint structures and dampen inflammation. Boswellia reduces the amount of an enzyme regulating inflammation messenger molecules.
