GlycOmega™ Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) is the foundation of our formula and nature’s perfect blend for joint support. This New Zealand mussel is a whole-food organism and a natural source of chondroitin and glucosamine as well as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCl) is a critical nutrient for building healthy connective tissue and is one of the foundational compounds in cartilage. GlycoFlex® Plus uses only the highest quality forms of glucosamine from sources like shrimp & crab, which are some of the only natural sources of this nutrient. Some other joint supplements use synthetically produced glucosamine, which may not be as well-absorbed by the body.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a sulfur compound found naturally in your dog's body that supports the structure of joints and connective tissue, as well as many bodily processes including collagen synthesis. Manganese also supports the formation of collagen, which is required for optimal cartilage structure and integrity.
Chondroitin Sulfate is a natural component of your dog's connective tissue. It's added to our clinically proven GlycoFlex® formula to help support the structure and integrity of those tissues by absorbing fluids into existing cartilage and providing the building blocks for new cartilage. This helps to promote joint flexibility and overall mobility & comfort.
DMG (N-N-Dimethylglycine) supports your dog's overall comfort and performance by supporting blood circulation, efficient oxygen utilization, and energy.
Vitamins E & C, Selenium, and L-Glutathione provide antioxidant support to promote free-radical-scavenging activities. Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera) is another powerful antioxidant that can support blood flow and healthy joints.
