Glyco-Flex II is a nutritional supplement used for maintaining healthy joints. It comes in different formulations, chewable tablets for dogs (it is stage II of a comprehensive program for dogs - recommended for dogs with a moderate need for joint support, adult and maturing dogs, sporting and working breeds, as well as a follow-up to orthopedic surgery) and either as chewable tablets or soft chews for cats and small dogs (recommended for older cats and small dogs with greater need for joint support). All formulations contain glucosamine as well as Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel - which is a good source of protein, minerals, and chondroitin sulfates) and MSM. The tablets are natural imitation roast chicken flavored and the soft chews are chicken liver flavored. The active ingredients include glucosamine and Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel). Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage in both humans and pets. It helps hydrate healthy joints by increasing the production of molecules that bind and hold water in the cartilage. Healthy cartilage provides cushioning which helps protect a pet's joints while exercising. Many believe that it provides clinical benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Further research on the effectiveness of glucosamine is still needed, but many of our customers find it to be very beneficial to their pets.
