In healthy conditions, cartilage, a resilient tissue, forms a smooth surface between bone ends to reduce the friction and act as a shock absorber. This friction is further reduced by synovial fluid, which bathes the cartilage. To maintain a functioning joint, synovial fluid and the two components of cartilage are constantly produced. Unfortunately repeated stress, injury, excess weight, poor diet and the aging process all contribute to the shortage of the natural building blocks, Glucosamine HCl and Mucopolysaccharides, that activate cartilage production.When your pet's body is unable to keep up with the demands, bone ends lose their cushioning and the animal experiences pain, inflammation and irritation in the joints and connective tissues. Lack of a constant supply of building blocks and their ability to reach the joint leads to defect in structure and function. Impaired function of the skeletal joints will dramatically reduce an animal's mobility.
In Vet-controlled, independent clinical studies, 89% of participants showed significant improvement in range of motion and the ability to put weight on the affected limbs, within two weeks, with no side effects
