Turmeric

Turmeric containing 95% Curcuminoids with Piperine for Increased Absorption

Turmeric is a well-known spice from India that has a long history of use as a medicinal herb.
Natural turmeric powder has low bioavailability, thus making it dicult for intestines to absorb.
To overcome this, the formula includes piperine (organic black pepper) to help with the
absorption.

There are many incredible benefits to including Turmeric to your Dog’s diet which include the
following:

• Turmeric’s Natural Anti-inflammatory Properties
  Turmeric can stop inflammation by reducing blood vessel dilation, decrease
  swelling, decrease redness, and reduce cytokine release which is an inflammatory marker. This can help relieve pain and other unfavorable symptoms so your dog can live a healthier lifestyle. Turmeric does not also cause gastrointestinal erosions that medications like NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen would cause making it a safe and natural alternative.
• Turmeric Antioxidant Properties
  Free radicals can destroy the cells in a pet’s body, resulting in aging and degeneration. Free radicals can come from unhealthy dog foods, chemicals, pesticides, radiation, toxins, and pollution. Luckily, turmeric has antioxidant
  properties to fight off those nasty free radicals and therefore prevents irreversible cell damage. In addition, Turmeric contains both anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties.
• Turmeric Can Fight Arthritis
  When your dog ages, their joints are vulnerable to inflammation, weakness, and stiffness. Fortunately, turmeric can reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and mitigate stiffness. This will help improve your dog’s range of motion so they can
  be symptom-free throughout their life.
• Turmeric Can Alleviate Pain
  The anti-inflammatory component of turmeric can provide significant pain relief. It can reduce swelling and redness so your four-legged friend can sleep comfortably.
• Turmeric Improves Heart Health
  Turmeric can help lower LDL cholesterol to decrease blood clots in the heart. It is thought to be as effective as anticoagulant medication without all the side effects associated with these medications.
• Turmeric Alleviates Gastrointestinal Issues and is a Natural Treatment for Diarrhea.
  Chronic inflammation can lead to IBD, which stands for inflammatory bowel disease. This can cause horrible symptoms like bloody diarrhea, bloating, fever, nausea, vomiting, and much more. Fortunately, the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric can help fight off IBD to help promote a healthy G.I. system for your dog.
• Turmeric provides an alternative to Steroid Medications
  One of the most common medications that veterinarians prescribed to dogs with joint pain are steroids. Steroids have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, but they come with unfavorable side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, high blood
  sugar level, weakening of the bone, and suppressed immune system.Fortunately, turmeric has all the benefits without the nasty side effects. Studies
  have found that turmeric works as well as steroid medication in alleviating joint
  pain.
• Turmeric Supports Liver Health
  The liver plays a vital role in removing toxins, absorbing nutrients, and regulating blood content. Turmeric can help break down fats and remove waste to help promote a healthy liver.

Glucosamine HCL

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance produced by your dog’s body. It helps create the molecules that form the cartilage of your dog’s joints. As your dog gets older, their body starts producing less glucosamine. As a result, their joints can become stiffer, while the cushioning and lubrication between their bones begins to wear down.
Giving your dog a glucosamine supplement can help keep joints lubricated and may even slow down the progression of arthritis. In dog supplements offering joint support, glucosamine is often combined with ingredients like chondroitin, MSM and hyaluronic acid. Together, these ingredients can help maintain your dog’s cartilage.

Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and plays a role in giving the cartilage elasticity.  Cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones in a joint. When Chondroitin is combined with glucosamine, they have a synergistic effect, meaning that they have more effect when given together than when each is given separately.

MSM

MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane, is a vital building block for healthy bones and joints, but also is a dynamic booster for the dog’s immune system. Studies have shown that MSM has an important effect on improving your dog’s joint pain, especially to help as a supplement for arthritis in dogs. MSM is rarely taken alone. Most immune system and joint supplements combine it with other ingredients for joint health such as glucosamine and chondroitin. When combined with glucosamine, trials have shown that MSM becomes even more potent and effective in fighting joint pain caused by hip dysplasia and arthritis.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MSM FOR DOGS?
Preventive — MSM can be given preventively in order to help your dog strengthen its joints and bone structure. It will help your bone stay strong for longer and slow progress of the progress of osteoarthritis.

Synergist — as a potentiator, MSM improves the cellular uptake of vitamins and nutrients, such as all B-vitamins, vitamins A, C, D and E, Coenzyme Q10, selenium, amino acids, calcium, magnesium, and many others, and prolongs their lives and potency.

Allergies MSM alleviates many discomforting symptoms from food and contact allergies, inhalation allergies, and other common allergic reactions.

Chronic Pain — MSM stimulates the activity of cortisol (natural-anti-inflammatory hormone dogs produce) and blocks the transfer of electrical pain impulses through the nerve fibers. It is known as a natural and extremely efficient analgesic.

Immune System Booster — The sulfur that is present within the Methylsulfonylmethane is what helps your dog’s body with enhanced production of immunoglobulins, the molecule that boosts your dog’s immune system.

Joint Pain —MSM is usually given in combination with Glucosamine and provides quality joint health management. It is known to have efficient anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is naturally produced by the body as a part of the synovial fluid that lubricates the cartilage between the joints. As your pet ages, their body produce less Hyaluronic acid. It then becomes more and more difficult to replenish it and the cartilage and other structures of the joint begin to need support. This leads to Joints becoming less flexible and limited movement and supplementation is often needed.

Omega 3 and Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acids

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are two types of fatty acids that are essential for normal
physiologic function, cell membrane structure and the cell function of humans, as well as dogs.
Experts consider Omega-3 fatty acids essential during gestation and early development, while
the Omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid is essential for normal reproduction, growth, immune
function, and skin and coat health.
Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

• Since Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of fat, they serve as a source of calories for your
  dog.
• Growing puppies require a dietary source of the Omega-3 fatty acid DHA to help support
  proper development and function of the brain, the central nervous tissue and vision.
• For pregnant and lactating dogs, Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for proper
  development of the brains and retinas of their puppies.
• Omega-3 fatty acids help manage inflammation, especially in the skin and joints.

Benefits of Omega-6 Fatty Acids

• Omega-6 fatty acids are involved in cell membrane structure and cell function.
• They are required for normal reproduction, growth, immune function, and skin and coat health.
• Just like Omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-6 fatty acids are a type of fat and, thus contribute calories to your dog’s diet.
