What Do These Ingredients Actually Do?
Glucosamine: Is a natural sugar produced by the body and found in a wide variety of foods. It is the essential and principal ingredient that determines the quantity of proteoglcycan (water-holding) molecules that are formed within the animal. The greater the amount of glucosamine in the body, the greater the amount of proteoglycans. The proteoglycans are large, water-binding molecules made up of (both) proteins and sugars. It is important to understand that they are a major building block of healthy, vital cartilage. Glucosamine also stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) which are important proteins found in cartilage. They serve to "bind" the water within the cartilage matrix.
Shark Cartilage: Provides a source of chondroitin sulfate (20% in Syn-Flex) which works synergistically with glucosamine to assist in rehabilitating the cartilage that is damaged in the body. "Bovine Trachea is also a source of chondroitin, but thankfully the makers of Syn-Flex use shark cartilage because of the public concerns about BSE. (Mad Cow Disease). I never feed my dogs anything that originates from a cow..."
Chondroitin Sulfate: Attracts fluids into proteoglycan molecules which assists in two ways. First, it draws nutrients into cartilage. Second, it increases the flow of fluid into cartilage to add resiliency.
Manganese (Ascorbate): Is a mineral that enhances the effectiveness of both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates to synthesize the production of healthy cartilage.
Yucca: Has a long history in easing joint pain by blocking compounds that prevent the normal formation of cartilage. The root is rich in saponins that elevate an animal's ability to produce "natural" cortisone.
Bromelain: Helps to inhibit pro-inflammatory compounds which reduce pain and swelling. Unlike aspirin, bromelain does not inhibit the production of prostaglandins which can have undesirable side effects.
Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docasahexaenoic Acid): Act as anti-inflammatory agents.This is essential to reducing pain where inflammation is present. Usually, these ingredients are sold as stand alone products in health food stores.
Boswelin Has been used for centuries in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to maintain healthy joints. Boswellic acids improve blood supply to the joints and maintain the integrity of blood vessels. At least one study has indicated that they may open up collateral blood circulation to provide a more adequate blood supply to your pet's joints. Boswellin also serves to reduce swelling and improve mobility where individuals experience stiffness in the joints.
Syn-Flex also provides the essential Vitamins A, C and E to assist in protecting against the harmful effects of free radicals.
Vitamin A (Beta Carotene): Is essential for growth and repair of body tissues and it also aids in bone formation.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Mobilizes your body's self-defense mechanisms that in turn, assist your immune system in overcoming disease.
Vitamin E (Tocopheral): Is an antioxidant that acts to protect red blood cells and unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation damage. It also assists your body in maintaining healthy membrane tissue.
