Arthri-aid Tablets
Arthri-Aid, a nutritional supplement to aid in the management of degenerative joint disease in cats and dogs. Arthri Aid uniquely combines high strength Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM, plus essential co-factors that help stimulate the manufacture of new cartlidge and synovial fluid leading to better joint mobility.
As pets get older the 'wear & tear' on their joints may cause stiffness and lameness problems. Certain breeds of dogs are particularly prone to joint problems (e.g. Labradors, Dalmatians). These dogs need extra 'joint nutrients' to help rebuild and help their joints. Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is the starting point for the production of new cartilage and is fundamental to maintaining joint function. Chondroitin is a major component of cartilage, maintaining the spongy texture. This is essential to absorb shock and nourish and lubricate the joints. MSM is a naturally occurring sulphur compound which helps soothe knocks and bumps, returning normal joint mobility. Manganese acts as a co-factor in the synthesis of collagen and Glucosaminoglycans. Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant that acts as a free radical scavenger therefore protecting cartilage breakdown.
