GWF Nutrition Joint Aid for Dogs Hip & Joint Supplement for Dogs to Support Active and Ageing Joints and Muscles All Ages and Breeds 500 g Pouch

Product Information

Helps preserve the availability of essential amino acids methionine and choline for use within the body. Amino Acids (x 5) - high levels of 5 particular dietary amino acids, essential for the production of muscle tissue. Oat Derived Beta Glucans -have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption. Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers -a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall. However, there is a biochemical and physiological process to muscle damage. Muscular activity induces protein breakdown and the release of inflammatory markers and immunomodulatory cues which mop up damaged particles. At the same time, oxidative free radicals and enzymes continue the process of protein breakdown.

Protein 22.5%, Crude Fibres 17.5%, Crude Oils and Fats 8%, Crude Ash 10%, Moisture 0%, Omega (3 and/or 6) 4.4%, Calcium 1.6%, Phosphorus 0.5%. kcal , kcal per servingProvides protected selenium, protected manganese and magnesium to help maintain low levels of muscle reaction to work.

By introducing these nutrients to the existing nutracines of Joint Aid, there are complementary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, beneficial omega-6:3 ratios and an amino acid profile suited to voluntary muscle. Natural Tocotrienol Antioxidants -a natural form of vitamin E. They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption. Essential for the manufacture of collagen and a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues.

Vitamin C - essential for the production of collagen and the maintenance of the body’s immune system. Phospholipids (Oatinol) – proven to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption. Analytical Constituents Contains high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids to support optimum health and performance – Omega 3 fatty acids are of great benefit to dogs, just as they are humans. Evidence suggests that Omega 3 fatty acids may help to support the reduction of inflammation from arthritis. Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall. Curcumin -the active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium.

Glutamic Acid -a natural flavour enhancer and an important nutritional support for natural healing and gut health duringtimes of stress. Superb product which has made a huge difference to my 11 year old collie cross. He is much more mobile and enjoys playing again. He seems to have much less arthritic pain now. Since 1971 it's been their privilege to care for Britain's animals through the power of nutrition.Thanks to generations of nutritional knowledge and innovation their range offers the most advanced nutritional supplements for cats, dogs and horses available today. There are two aspects to muscle repair, whilst protein deposition would seem the most obvious, lipid metabolism is essential. Muscle fibres are, in the main, protein strands, but are encased in a protein/lipid complex cell membrane and it is the chemical properties of the both the neutral lipids and the phospholipids that allow the strands to slide over each other; giving rise to contraction.

Joint & Muscle Care

Vitamin C -essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals. It directly affects the level of tissue growth, development or repair after injury so is crucial for healing and the body’s immune system. Trace Minerals (x3) -Provides selenium, manganese and magnesium to help maintain low levels of muscle reaction to work.

Amino Acids, Minerals, Vitamins, Toxin Binder, Mono & Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids and Bio-Available Minerals & Trace Elements Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.I have used this supplement for many years on dogs with arthritis. It has really helped all of them and with the muscle maintenance it seems to slow down the muscle atrophy in the arthritic limbs. Great product.
