Animal Necessity Joint Guard (45 capsules)

Animal Necessity Joint Guard Vet is a dietary supplement formulated specifically for pets to support joint health and mobility. It is designed to provide nutritional support for dogs and cats with joint issues or those at risk of developing joint problems, such as aging pets or those with a history of joint injuries.

The supplement contains a combination of ingredients that are commonly used in joint support formulas, including glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), and antioxidants. These ingredients work together to promote joint function, reduce inflammation, support cartilage health, and improve overall joint comfort.

Glucosamine and chondroitin are essential components of healthy cartilage and are commonly used in joint supplements for both humans and animals. They help to maintain the structural integrity of joints, promote the production of joint fluids, and support joint cushioning.

MSM is a natural compound that contains sulfur, which is important for the formation of connective tissues, including cartilage. It has anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce joint pain and stiffness.

Antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, are included in Joint Guard Vet to help protect the joints from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals.

Animal Necessity Joint Guard Vet is typically administered orally in the form of chewable tablets or soft chews, making it convenient for pet owners to provide the supplement to their pets. However, it's important to consult with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement regimen for your pet, as they can provide guidance based on your pet's specific needs and health condition.

Remember that while supplements can be beneficial for some pets, they are not a substitute for proper veterinary care. If your pet is experiencing joint issues or mobility problems, it's important to have them evaluated by a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

For Veterinarians

Joint Guard Vet™ is formulated with several natural ingredients that promote joint health, flexibility, strength, and comfort through all life stages. These active ingredients include:

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino monosaccharide. It can be made by the body and provided as a dietary supplement, and is a necessary precursor for the formation of hyaluronan and keratin sulfate, both of which promote the health of joint fluid. This Animal Necessity supplement incorporates two out of three possible forms of glucosamine - glucosamine sulfate and hydrochloride (HCl). These glucosamine formulations are water-soluble and more readily absorbed by the intestine and rapidly distributed to the body's tissues and joints than the third type of glucosamine available, N-acetylglucosamine.¹

Chondroitin (bovine)

Chondroitin is a natural glycosaminoglycan produced by the body as a normal constituent of cartilage. Supplemented chondroitin sulfate has been proven to help support normal joint function, mobility and comfort.¹

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)

MSM occurs naturally in plants like horsetail, algae, fruits and vegetables, and is a sulfur-based, odorless organic metabolite of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The sulfur provided by MSM plays an important role in maintaining the health and mobility of joints, tendons, and ligaments through all life stages.² Sulfur is also necessary for the production of glutathione, the body's most important universal antioxidant, which helps to promote a healthy immune system. OptiMSM®, the form used in this supplement, is an ultra-pure, high quality source of MSM with effects that have been well-supported by scientific research.³

Turmeric root extract

Turmeric is a perennial herb and member of the ginger plant family. The active ingredient in turmeric root extract is curcumin. Curcumin supports healthy inflammatory response in joints and promotes healthy lipid metabolism. Please consult the Animal Necessity veterinary support team if use is desired in diabetic patients or those patients with gall bladder disease.

Boswellia serrata gum extract

Boswellia serrata is a branching tree native to India, Africa, and Arabia, in which the gum (or resin extract) is most commonly used for its ability to promote a healthy immune response which helps to keep joints comfortable.⁴

Bromelain

Bromelain is a proteolytic digestive enzyme obtained from fruit and stem of pineapple. This natural enzyme promotes a healthy immune response by modulating fibrin production and prostaglandin release, which help to optimize joint health.⁵

Hydrolyzed collagen (chicken)

Collagen is the most abundant protein in animal tissue, including cartilage, skin, ligaments, tendons, and bones. When combined with the other ingredients in Joint Guard Vet, it supports the comfort of joints throughout all life stages.

White willow bark powder

Bark from the white willow tree (Salix alba) contains the active ingredient salicin, which is the natural plant-based precursor needed to produce Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid. Salicin supports a healthy immune response by modulating the action of prostaglandins COX-1 and COX-2 in order to promote joint comfort throughout all life stages. Please consult the Animal Necessity veterinary support team if use is desired in lactating patients.⁶

PureWay-C (Vitamin C)

Pure-Way-C is a vitamin C supplement that is more rapidly absorbed, leading to greater plasma and cellular levels, and allowing for more rapid action and more beneficial effects than other forms of vitamin C.⁷ Vitamin C has anti-oxidant properties that support a healthy immune response which, particularly when combined with the other ingredients in Joint Guard Vet, promotes normal joint health.

Manganese gluconate

Manganese is a trace nutrient that is stored in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and bones. When used with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates, manganese can promote the health of joints for all life stages.
