Perna, Glucosamine & DMG For Basic Joint Support
VetriScience GLYCOFLEX 1 represents the first stage of a comprehensive stage of life program for joint support. GLYCOFLEX I is recommended by veterinarians for puppies and dogs with an early need for joint support. Consider offering a joint support supplement to large breed puppies, to breeds predisposed to hip dysplasia or other canine developmental orthopedic problems, to dogs in post-op orthopedic recovery and those affected by joint injury [sprains, strains, luxations] and to puppies with a limb abnormality, deformity or joint dysfunction.
Perna canaliculus (New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel) is a good source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), protein, minerals, and chondroitin sulfates.
Along with Glucosamine and Perna canaliculus, GLYCO-FLEX I contains N,NDimethylglycine (DMG). Vetri-Science holds 3 U.S. patents on DMG in the area of immune response and joint support, which demonstrates the multiple benefits that this ingredient can provide for the health and well-being of the dog.
The Perna canaliculus used in GLYCOFLEX 1 is produced by freeze - drying the entire mussel (excluding the shell).
