A supplement for cats and dogs with articular cartilage and joint dysfunctions. Suitable for young and old animals alike. Particularly recommended in orthopedic trauma, before orthopedic procedures and during convalescence. The product contains avocado extract, soy extract, as well as Harpagophytum procumbens, all of them known for their two-pronged, antiinflammatory and pain-relief action.
GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDROITINE – necessary for the synthesis of extracellular matrix which form the structural basis for articular cartilages. Ensure the proper hydration of articular cartilages, guaranteeing their resilience and elasticity.
HARPAGOPHYTUM PROCUMBENS – shows anti-inflammatory properties, probably due to the inhibition of the activity of enzymes such as cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase.
DRY AVOCADO, SOY EXTRACT – show anabolic, anticatabolic, and anti-in-flammatory effects on chondrocytes; in-crease collagen synthesis; inhibit the 1-beta interleukin induced collagenase; boost the synthesis of aggrecan; inhibit the IL1β-de-pendent activation of extracellular matrix metalloproteineases (MMP)-3, IL-6, IL-8 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).
MANGANESE – serves as a building block of enzyme molecules known as glycosyltransferases, necessary for the synthesis of proteoglycans that ensure healthy bones and cartilages
