Hip & Joint Soft Chews are a synergistic blend of proven nutraceuticals and antioxidants that provide superior joint support and comfort for healthy hips and joints.
Joints are constantly undergoing normal remodeling through a process of “wear and repair.” It is the damage to the cartilage matrix that allows elbows, hips, and other joints to become weak and to lose elasticity.
Glucosamine is a natural building block of cartilage that can help to prevent cartilage degeneration. Glucosamine also influences the production of hyaluronic acid, the main constituent of synovial fluid, the lubricating liquid between joints that allows bones to move smoothly past each other.
Chondroitin Sulfate helps protect joints by inhibiting the degradative enzymes that destroy articular (joint) cartilage. Without inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels in the joints, calcification occurs, and the body becomes unable to heal damaged joint tissues. Chondroitin decreases the degradation of cartilage as glucosamine rebuilds it.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) a natural source of dietary sulfur is critical to maintaining the connective tissue’s elasticity and flexibility in joints.
Unlike other animal supplement manufacturers, our soft chews are made without the use of heat, water, or gumming agents. Heat can deteriorate a product’s effectiveness while using water requires high levels of preservatives to extend shelf life and eliminate the chance of mold. The addition of gumming agents helps control moisture however can cause digestive upset. Our process preserves the texture, flavor, and benefits of all ingredients without any of these downsides.
