What are Glyco-Flex Soft Chews?

For:

Dogs and Cats

Benefits:

• All natural ingredients
• Two soft chews of Glyco-Flex II for Cats have 250 mg of glucosamine and 300 mg of Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel), and two soft chews of Glyco-Flex III for Dogs have 1000 mg of glucosamine and 600 mg of Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel)
• Comes in easy-to-administer soft chews

How it works:

The active ingredients include glucosamine, Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel), and MSM. Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage in both humans and pets. It helps hydrate healthy joints by increasing the production of molecules that bind and hold water in the cartilage. Healthy cartilage provides cushioning which helps protect a pet's joints while exercising. Many believe that it provides clinical benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Further research on the effectiveness of glucosamine is still needed, but many of our customers find it to be very beneficial to their pets.
