GlycoFlex 3 is suggested for active and competitive dogs to maintain top form. GlycoFlex 3 also provides maximum support to those showing more serious signs of aging and discomfort as well as limited mobility or dogs in recovery after orthopedic surgery. From the Manufacturer Glyco Flex III Bite-Sized ChewsVetri-Sciences Glyco-Flex III represents the third stage of our Life Stages joint health program, designed to support a dogs comprehensive joint health throughout his life. Weve considered the health of a geriatric dog in need of serious joint support and added extra glucosamine and MSM to be sure Glyco-Flex III can keep up with those needs. Glyco-Flex III offers something most nutritional supplements for canines cannot: thorough and non-biased research.The creaks of ages: a summaryLike humans, as dogs age they tend to feel their years in their joints. With age-related weight gain comes increased pressure on each joint. The only joints that move (allowing pivot-like adjustments) are called synovial joints, so coined because of the fluid that surrounds them. To understand the importance of maintaining the health of this fluid, it is important to understand each component of a synovial joint. Each bone end is essentially padded with a thin layer of cartilage. The fibrous sac surrounding the joint is called the capsule, and is filled with synovial fluid and lined with a synovial membrane, which acts as a filter for undesirable microorganisms. The articular cartilage is made up of a matrix containing collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGS), which suck water in to form a gelatinous material.The synovial fluid is the nourishment for the cartilage. When cartilage has a loose or compromised matrix, bone can rub on bone, creating an uncomfortable friction. To avoid this unpleasant sensation, it is necessary to maintain a desirable viscosity and health of the synovial fluid and membrane.Research and understanding of Glyco-Flex III:Over 17 years, researchers have conducted several studies to determine the abilities of Glyco-Flexs main ingredients and the product as a whole. The GlycOmega (Perna used in Glyco-Flex) is exclusive to Vetri-Science.Backed with this extensive research, Glyco-Flex III offers peace of mind for pet owners concerned with their animals nutrition. Out of top selling brands, Glyco- Flex III is the only joint support product line registered with the FDA as an animal health product and the only Perna product researched in canine-specific studies.The GlycOmega Perna whole mussel (used exclusively in Vetri-Science GlycoFlex products) is the only New Zealand green lipped mussel clinically researched for its impact on the bodys inflammatory process.Patented N,N-Dimethylglycine HClGlyco-Flex III features our patented DMG, an adaptogen known for its immune support properties. DMG is naturally occurring in small amounts, and assists in methylation processes within the body. This amino acid derivative supports circulation and oxygen utilization, promoting better nutrient delivery to the joint. Vetri-Science Laboratories has obtained four patents on DMG backed by 20 years of research. The whole organism differenceGlyco-Flex III (and each product in our Life Stages program) contains GlycOmega, Perna canaliculus from an exclusive New Zealand source. The entire green-lipped mussel is utilized for optimal support. Some Perna extract-based products and mussel powders may lack bioactive components, like specific, important fatty or amino acids that the whole mussel provides. Image of a healthy Joint Higher levels of MSMBecause Glyco-Flex III represents serious support, weve doubled the amount of MSM per serving. MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane, is an organic, sulfur-containing compound. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the fundamental building blocks of joint cartilage, are linked together by disulfide bonds (bonds between two sulfur atoms). Because cartilage is in a sulfur-dependent state of quality, MSM supports joint and connective tissue health.Higher levels of glucosamineWhen compared with our Glyco-Flex stages I and II formulas and other glucosamine formulas on the market, Glyco-Flex III stands out because of higher levels of glucosamine, a natural compound found in healthy cartilage, glucosamine sulfate is a constituent of glycosaminoglycans in synovial fluid, meaning it supports joint health through promoting synovial fluid viscosity and strength of the cartilage matrix.Even the taste is optimalAvailable in chicken liver- flavored mini bite size chews, regular bite size chews or a tablet, Glyco- Flex III is known for its high palatability.
