Prosamine For Dogs & CatsJoint Health SupplementProsamine is an affordable glucosamine-based supplement designed to provide the nutrients needed to build and restore joint tissues. It also contains vitamins, minerals, and hydroxyproline, which is a scarce amino acid essential for cartilage maintenance. There are many sources and choices for glucosamine products. However, it's important for you to know that quality ingredients, which are safe for animals, are present in the amount shown on the label. Some human and pet joint supplements have been tested and found to be missing a portion or all of the claimed amounts of key ingredients. In addition, human products sometimes contain ingredients that are completely safe for people, but not for animals. Prosamine is a better value than most store brands with guaranteed safety and quality.
Nutritional support for managing joint conditions and for maximizing orthopedic post-surgical healing. It provides many of the basic building blocks used in the natural regeneration of connective tissues, such as cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Many factors such as age, trauma, surgery or arthritis influence how rapidly injured connective tissue heals. Glucosamine, through its increased availability, stimulates the chondrocytes in the cartilage to make more hyaluronic acid that goes into the ground substance of the tissue, building a wetter, plumper cartilage and providing lubrication. Studies also show that glucosamine will lead to the production of more glycosaminoglycans, which are then incorporated into proteoglycans. These proteoglycans in the cartilage hold water and give it its shock-absorbing properties. The results are improved joint flexibility, function and comfort accompanied by greater mobility. In addition to the high concentration of glucosamine, Prosamine also incorporates hydroxyproline, which is a scarce amino acid not often found in other joint products. Hydroxyproline is crucial for joint tissue synthesis and repair. For dogs and cats 1-20 lbs give 1 tablet per day. For dogs 21-50 lbs give 2 tablets per day.
