A nutritional supplement for
dogs to support joint and connective tissue functions. Ultra Glucosamine™ provides your dog with three forms of Glucosamine: D-Glucosamine HCI, D-Glucosamine Sulfate, and N-Acetyl Glucosamine. All three forms of Glucosamine can be considered nutritional factors that the body uses to maintain proper functioning of joints and connective tissue. By having more than one form of Glucosamine in the formula, metabolic pathways are stimulated to a higher degree than when only one form is present.
Glucosamines are used by the body for
the biosynthesis of special macromolecules called glycoproteins,
glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and proteoglycans. Glucosamines are part of the
structural elements in cell walls, intercellular spaces and connective
tissues. Glucosamines give shape, elasticity and rigidity to such tissues
as cartilage, tendons, ligaments, intervertebral discs, and mucous
membranes. Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine Hydrochloride help
glycosaminoglycans to hold more water thereby increasing joint flexibility,
cushioning ability and resiliency. N-Acetyl glucosamine is produced from
Glucosamine in the body and supports proper functioning of the digestive
tract lining.
Ultra Glucosamine contains other supporting nutrients, such as silicon, which contributes to
the restorative process of damaged tissues and joints. The antioxidant Vitamin C is included
to help protect the tissues from free radical damage, which can promote swelling.
Each capsule provides: 250 mg D-Glucosamine HCl, 175 mg D-Glucosamine Sulfate,
75 mg N-Acetyl Glucosamine, 25 mg Magnesium Sulfate, 75 mg Potassium Sulfate, 40 mg
Vitamin C (as Calcium Ascorbate), 3 mg Silicon (Equisetum Arvense).
Inactive Ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, sodium chloride (added as a stabilizer).
As a dietary supplement, give orally or break capsule open and mix with
food. For doses of more than one capsule, divide between AM and PM. Up to
25 lbs: one capsule per day for 4-6 weeks. Drop back to one capsule every
