GLYCOFLEX 1 is the first stage of a comprehensive stage of life program for joint support. It's recommended by veterinarians to support proper joint function and connective tissue health for dogs with mild joint dysfunction.
Perna canaliculus (New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel) is a good source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), protein, minerals, and chondroitin sulfates.
Along with Glucosamine and Perna canaliculus, GLYCOFLEX I contains N,NDimethylglycine (DMG). Vetri-Science holds 3 U.S. patents on DMG in the area of immune response and joint support, which demonstrates the multiple benefits that this ingredient can provide for the health and well-being of the dog.
The Perna canaliculus used in GLYCOFLEX I is produced by freeze - drying the entire mussel (excluding the shell).
Available in a smoke flavored chewable tablet or an artificial beef flavored soft chew.
