Complementary feed to support joint metabolism in dogs and cats.
Glucosamine sulphate is the essential precursor of glycosaminoglycans in the body. It is actually the sole and unique precursor of hyaluronic acid, chondroitins and numerous proteoglycans and stimulates their synthesis. With an absorption rate of more than 90% via the digestive tract, it concentrates in the joints where it performs an anti-catabolic function. It seems certain that the glucosamine sulphate inhibits the expression of a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines or molecules known for their catabolic action on cartilage (Cox-2, iNOS, MMP-3, TNF, IL-6, IL-1).
