COMPOSITION:
In addition to GAGs (gluucosaminoglycans) with chondro-protective activity, it contains microcrystalline hydroxylapatite (MCHC), a substance normally contained in over 90% of bones and teeth. This substance induces the differentiation of osteoblasts and therefore promotes the growth of the bone itself, as well as ensuring resistance and elasticity of the bone tissue. At a dental level it promotes the formation of enamel. Microcrystalline hydroxylapatite, in addition to calcium, contains mineral phosphates consisting of: phosphorus; magnesium; florids; zinc; copper; manganese; silicon; rubidium; platinum; borium. Furthermore, it also consists of organic substances such as: active enzymes; collagen fibers; amino acids. Also contains: VIT B12; VITB6; VIT C. Thanks to these components: • stimulates the formation of bones and cartilage, promoting the stability and elasticity of the bone tissue; • improves collagen production; • increases the resistance of connective structures (joint capsules, tendons, ligaments, muscles), thanks to silicon dioxide, in the form of silicic acid, normally present in connective tissue; • contributes to better health of teeth and gums, thanks to the vitamin C contained in it; • cushions micro traumas (impacts and pressure on the joints), thanks to the GAGs (Glycosaminoglycans) which derive from the Perna Canaliculus extract, since these substances have a great ability to "bind" water which, at joint level, plays a "shock absorber" role; • reduces inflammation, and consequently pain, thanks to the Ω3-Ω6 acids contained in high quantities in the Perna Canaliculus extract, which inhibit the mediators of inflammation, i.e. leukotrienes and prostaglandins.
INDICATIONS:
For these characteristics, its use is essential: • in puppies, especially of large and/or heavy breeds, to promote the development of straight and aligned extremities, during the growth phase, when the longitudinal growth of the bones has not yet finished; • during growth for puppies and young dogs with deformed extremities (valgus and varus legs). • after fractures and surgical interventions on the osteo-articular system because it promotes faster formation of bone callus; • in hyperextension of the elbows, a frequent problem during growth in large and/or heavy breed dogs; • in dogs that carry out intense physical activity (working dogs, sled dogs, hunting dogs, civil protection dogs, competition dogs, dogs engaged in agility,...) because it promotes the stability and elasticity of the bone tissue; • in elderly dogs, for the prevention of osteoporosis, as it stimulates bone growth where bone substance is lacking. • as a protector of the gums and an aid in the formation of optimal teeth.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: None.
