Active health
ingredients:
CoQ10
A
compound found naturally in the energy-producing center of the cell known as
the mitochondria, CoQ10 is involved in the making of an important molecule
known as ATP. CoQ10 is said to boost energy, enhance the immune system, and act
as an antioxidant.
Glucosamine
Glucosamine
provides the joints with the building blocks needed to repair the damage caused
by osteoarthritis. Acting as a catalyst, glucosamine helps animals synthesize
new cartilage needed to replace damaged cartilage caused by wear and tear. Hip
dysplasia occurs when normal wear and tear break down cartilage.
Chondroitin
Attracts
and holds fluid within cartilage tissue helping to lubricate joints, increase
mobility and reduce discomfort caused by hip dysplasia. Chondroitin neutralizes
the destructive enzymes that are known to damage and destroy cartilage, while
aiding the entry of glucosamine into inflamed joints.
MSM
Supplies
biologically active sulfer to animals joints. Use of MSM has been shown to
reduce the rigidity of cells in the soft tissues of the body. By reducing this
rigidity, fluids are able to pass more freely from the cell and this helps to
reduce cell pressure, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.
Vitamin C
Promotes
cartilage growth and tissue repair. Vitamin C is a key factor in the immune
system, helping white blood cells function. Prolonged deficiency will cause
existing tissues to deteriorate.
Inactive health
ingredients:
Brewers Yeast
Brewers
yeast is known as an excellent source of thiamin, choline, biotin and other B
vitamins; zinc and other minerals; and highly-digestible protein. As a health
supplement for pets, it is used to control shedding, promote healthy skin and
hair, stimulate the metabolism, and enhance nervous system health. Brewers
yeast is also thought to help repel fleas and stimulate the immune system. As
an added benefit, brewers yeast has a taste that dogs love.
Citrus Bioflavonoids 40%
Bioflavonoids
(also known as simply flavonoids) enhance resistance to allergies, microbes,
inflammation, and cancer.
Garlic Powder
One of
the oldest "health foods" known to us, garlic is renowned for its
antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
Hesperidin Complex
The
predominant flavonoid in oranges and lemons, hesperidin has antioxidant,
anti-allergen, and anti-inflammatory properties, and can aid in controlling
cholesterol and blood pressure.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
A common
ingredient in tablet formations, controlling release of other ingredients into
the digestive system. Also known as hypromellose.
Pork Liver Powder
A highly
nutritious ingredient with a taste dogs love.
Rutin Powder
Once
called Vitamin P, rutin acts as an antioxidant and strengthens capillaries.
Whey
A natural
milk product, whey is an excellent source of protein containing all essential
amino acids. Whey includes exceptionally high concentrations of
branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are a component of muscle protein and
limit protein breakdown during exercise. Whey is also said to boost the body's
oxidant-fighting capabilities and improve immune response.
