Joint Care 3 is our powerhouse product for maximum support of healthy joints and cartilage. It contains glucosamine HCL (hydrochloride), a naturally occurring ingredient in the bodies of both humans and domestic animals, that is one of the essential building blocks of cartilage. Glucosamine is also a necessary ingredient within the body for the maintenance of joint fluid (synovial fluid). Joint fluid is necessary to provide lubrication and nutrients to the joint tissues. Chondroitin sulfate, similar to glucosamine hydrochloride, is essential in the production and repair of cartilage and other tissues. Joint Care 3 is also formulated with manganese, used by the body in the synthesis of cartilage and joint fluid. Joint Care 3 also contains MSM, an organic source of sulfur found in all living organisms. Green-lipped perna mussel also contains building blocks of cartilage. Hyaluronic acid is an important component of joint fluid. Soybean and avocado oil extracts also help in the building of cartilage. Vitamin C, Vitamin E and citrus bioflavonoids are included as antioxidants.

Joint Care Level 3 should be fed for a minimum of eight weeks to develop peak effect and then continuously thereafter, though the amount used can sometimes be decreased. Most patients will begin responding within this time frame. For dogs and cats.

How the key ingredients work:

• Research has demonstrated that Avocado & Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASUs) support joint function and healthy cartilage in multiple ways. ASUs increase the effectiveness of glucosamine, and work at the biochemical level in the cartilage-producing cells and enzyme systems in the healthy joint.
• Both glucosamine and chondroitin are building blocks of cartilage. Chondroitin also is necessary for the production of joint fluid which lubricates and protects the joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin work synergistically - increasing the effectiveness of each other.
• Perna mussel contains glucosamine and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the main components of cartilage and synovial fluid found in joints.
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organic form of sulfur used for normal cartilage production.
• Quercetin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and zinc are powerful antioxidants that aid in the support the body's normal immune defenses. Manganese is also an antioxidant and helps normal bone development and production of cartilage.
• Zinc is necessary for the body's regulatory functions and works with enzymes necessary for cell health and metabolism.
• Bromelain and boswellia support the normal regulation of the immune system, which affects joint health.
