GLYCOFLEX 1 For Dogs
GLYCOFLEX 1 is the first stage of a comprehensive stage of life program for joint
support. It's recommended by veterinarians to support proper joint function and
connective tissue health for dogs with mild 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,
GLYCOFLEX 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 I is
produced by freeze - drying the entire mussel (excluding the shell).
Available in a smoke flavored chewable tablet
or an artificial beef flavored soft chew.
