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

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. Tocotrienol antioxidants are 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. High levels of arginine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine and valine, essential for the production of muscle tissue.

Trace Minerals (x3) -Provides selenium, manganese and magnesium to help maintain low levels of muscle reaction to work. Amino Acids (x 5) - high levels of 5 particular dietary amino acids, essential for the production of muscle tissue. 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.

The Most Advanced Range of Pet Feeds & Supplements Available Today

Amino Acids -High levels of 5 particular dietary amino acids, essential for the production of muscle tissue. As you may already be aware, two of our Field & Trial diets are enhanced with Joint Aid for Dogs; these diets include Maintenance Plus and Turkey & Rice. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) -MSM is a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues. It is also essential for the manufacture of collagen. Amino Acids, Minerals, Vitamins, Toxin Binder, Mono & Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids and Bio-Available Minerals & Trace Elements 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 Elements (/kg): Manganese (3b507 Dimanganous Chloride Trihydroxide): 240mg, Selenium (3b815 L-Selenomethionine): 1mg. Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers (Oatinol) – to support the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall. Vitamin E - a biological antioxidant and essential for the health of reproductive, muscular, circulatory, nervous systems and immune functions in the metabolism. 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.Hemp Oil Derived Omega 3 Fatty Acids – crucial for maintaining the natural anti-inflammatory action of the body. 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. Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall. Helps preserve the availability of essential amino acids methionine and choline for use within the body. In line with all metabolic processes there is a balance between anabolism (building) and catabolism (breakdown). Normal levels of activity are within the natural constraints and muscle wear is matched by regeneration.

Digestion & Internal Health

Trace elements are also associated with reduced muscle damage, especially selenium, manganese and magnesium. Contains 20Active Nutraceuticals -nutritional substances that provide additional health benefits. Through the addition of the following nutraceuticals, Joint Aid provides a complementary support for all dogs. Both vascular development and cell membrane lipids benefit from Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Although Omega-6 is sometimes regarded as being pro-inflammatory (it is actually anti-inflammatory but less so than omega-3), it is also a critical component in improving vascular flow. Omega-3 fatty acids are important in maintaining the neutral and phospho-lipids in the cell membrane. GWF Nutrition Joint Aid for Dogs is a high specification joint and muscle supplement with glucosamine for dogs, designed to aid freedom of movement. Joint Aid for Dogs can be fed to all dogs from any age at the ‘General Support’ level to maintain freedom of movement and muscle condition throughout their lives. For elderly and working dogs or those showing reduced muscle mass, Joint Aid for Dogs is recommended to be fed at the ‘Full Support’ level. Following on from the inflammatory phase of muscle degradation – when activity slows or stops – there is a phase of proliferation; proteolysis is reversed and the inflammatory cytokines promote collagen synthesis. This is initiated in the presence of the amino acid leucine, one of the branched amino acids that also include isoleucine and valine, and arginine also aids muscle development and vascular development.

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. Essential for the utilisation of amino acids; involved in the production of red blood cells and the integrity of the nervous system. Maintains flexibility of movement in all working and pet dogs regardless of age, size and level of exercise Glutamic Acid - a natural flavour enhancer and important for natural gut health during times of stress. Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption.

Joint & Muscle Care

However, positive metabolites will enable a dynamic turnover of muscle metabolism, helping ameliorate the inflammatory phase and regulate proliferation. Specific antioxidants and trace elements have been added and the new product has been formulated to increase its levels of leucine, arginine and the branched chain amino acids. 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.
