PetSpec Joint Mobility for Dogs
A nutritional support system to promote the comfort zone in and around synovial joints

PetSpec Joint Mobility contains an excellent specification of nutrients to help the development and maintenance of healthy joints. Synovial joints are stabilised by a complex network of tendons, ligaments and muscle in and around the joint, and by the joint capsule itself. In ideal circumstances this enables joints to function smoothly and comfortably.

However, if any part of this network fails because of injury or disease, repair may be necessary. In these circumstances additional, specialised nutritional support to promote elasticity and shock-absorption within the body may be beneficial for certain dogs.

The types of dogs most likely to benefit are the elderly and those used for working or competing in agility.

PetSpec Joint Mobility contains a generous combination of natural sources of Glucosamine (100mg/g), MSM (50mg/g) and Chondroitin (12.5mg/g)

Glucosamine is a component of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are essential constituents of cartilage and synovial fluid. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a well-know GAG that plays an important role in maintaining the viscosity of joint fluid. This think fluid acts as a lubricant for joint surfaces and together with cartilage provides most of the shock-absorption to minimise the concussive forces travelling up the limbs. Glucosamine is also an important precursor of Chondroitin, a constituent cartilage. Ample Glucosamine is produced in healthy joints but damaged joints produce less.

MSM is a bio-available source of sulphur and helps to maintain optimum function in connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments and muscles. It promotes fluid dispersion at injury sites via its role in the permeability of cell walls. Sulphur is needed for the production of collagen, which is an important component of cartilage. It is common for insufficient healthy cartilage to be made when joint function is compromised.

PetSpec Joint Mobility also contains a blend of Anti-oxidants.

Vitamins E and C are included to combat excess free radicals around the joint and to boost the immune system.
