Ingredients:

Active Ingredients per 5 gram tablet:

Glucosamine HCL 99% (Shellfish Source)....500 mg
Glucosamine stimulates the secretion of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), one of the building blocks of cartilage and the synovial fluid found in joints. GAGs increase the lubrication of the joints and provide flexibility and elasticity to the cartilage.

Methylsulfonylmethane.......................................500 mg
The sulfur in MSM can be utilized by the body in the formation of compounds such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, as well as the amino acids methionine and cysteine. Arthritic joints often have low levels of both sulfur and cysteine. Animal studies have found MSM helps to strengthen the tissues that make up the joints.

Chondroitin Sulfate (Bovine Source)................200 mg
Condroitin is produced in the body and it works to prevent enzymes from degrading the building blocks of joint cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is often used in combination with glucosamine, however, when used alone, glucosamine sulfate helps the body to manufacture its own chondroitin.

Green Lipped Mussel (Perna Canaliculus)....200 mg
Perna canaliculus, or green-lipped mussel, is an edible shellfish containing protein, minerals, glucosamine and Eicosatetraenoic acids (ETAs). ETAs are a type of Omega-3 fatty acids and provide an anti-inflammatory effect which helps reduce joint pain. Research in both humans and animals have shown that perna mussels have been effective in managing degenerative joint disease and arthritis. Human patients receiving perna mussels reported less pain, joint stiffness and improved mobility

Boswellia Serrata...................................................90 mg
Animal studies have demonstrated Boswellia provides a dampening effect on inflammatory processes by inhibiting formation of proinflammatory leukotrienes.

Yucca Schidigera....................................................90 mg
May help to alleviate pain associated with daily exercise.

Calcium Ascorbate (from Ester-C ).....................60 mg
Calcium helps to maintain healthy bones, teeth and muscle. Ester-C is a non-acidic, well absorbed form of Vitamin C.

Zinc..............................................................................7 mg
An essential trace mineral that is essential for growth, appetite, wound healing and skin integrity.

Hyaluronic Acid (from BioCell Collagen II )..........5 mg
Effectively maintains connective tissue health in crucial areas such as joints, skin andcardiovascular system.

d-Alpha Tocopheryl (Vitamin E)..............................60 IU
Vitamin E supplies oxygen to the blood and helps to maintain healthy membrane tissue. Vitamin E also inhibits the prostaglandins that play a role in pain, thereby reducing joint pain.

Inactive Ingredients:
Dicalcium Phosphate, Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Maltodextrins, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Natural Flavoring (from chicken liver), Non-Fat Dry Milk, Rice Powder, Silica Aerogel, Stearic Acid and Whey.

Dr. Colleen Smith has this to say about arthritis supplements for dogs: MSM is an excellent supplement for joint health, you can give your dogs from 500mg – 1000mg for medium to large dogs respectively. Dogs unlike people do manufacture ascorbic acid (Vit C). It has been found that using glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and Vit C together have a synergistic effect on joints by supporting the healing process, activating immune cells to damaged joints and increasing the anti-inflammatory process. Side effects are minimal to none with the only signs being gastrointestinal upset. If that occurs decrease the dose for 2 weeks and then adjust back to the recommended dose.
