Brief Description:
Glucosamine for joint repair & support.
Available in 30, 90 & 180 Capsules
Indications:
Arthritis, tendon/ligament damage, any connective tissue damage.
Full Description:
An amino sugar formed from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Normally made by the digestive process, Glucosamine Sulphate is fundamental in all connective tissue manufacture. Connective tissue or collagen is rich in protoglycans, which are made up of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and protein. Glucosamine Sulphate is the main precursor in GAG production.
It appears that as some animals age, like humans, they do not manufacture enough GAG, one of the major causes of osteoarthritis. Supplementation with orally administered Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown to be very beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
High doses of non acidic vitamin C (500-3000mg per day in split doses). Vitamin C is essential to cartilage repair and manufacture.
B vitamins, especially Pantothenic Acid (B5) and Niacinamide (B3)
S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is formed in the body by the amino acid methionine and adenosyl-triphosphate (ATP). SAM has been shown to be, like Glucosamine, essential to cartilage formation and joint integrity.
Herbs: Boswellia, Cats Claw, Turmeric etc. have been shown to exert a notable anti-inflammatory effect upon athritic joints, easing pain while Glucosamin starts to repair the joint.
Fish Oil, shown to be useful in treating arthritis. Exerts a mild anti-inflammatory effect.
Typically, massage area with olive oil or any rubbing liniment which you find useful.
Gentle exercise is a must to keep joints mobile, but do not overdo it as too much can cause more pain

Directions & Dosage:
The suggested dose on the bottle gives a drop amount.
Small dogs and cats should be given a dose around the lower figure, large dogs should be given a dose around the higher figure. Pigeons and aviary birds, use one drop per bird in drinking water.
Because the combinations are in tincture, it is advisable to put drops into a little hot (not boiling) water and allow to cool before administrating. This allows the alcohol to evaporate off.
