Life stage management program for dogs with joint disorders and associated problems.

Joint problems?

All pet owners want to see their dogs fit, healthy and ready for exercise. Dogs love to exercise; it is at the very core of their lives. And therefore they depend on healthy joints which allow for smooth, pain-free running and jumping. Unfortunately joints are first in the queue for potential damage. No wonder! They act as the skeletal shock absorbers and are constantly under pressure.

But how do you know when it is going wrong and what can you do about it?

Joint deterioration usually occurs with ageing. Damage can also occur earlier in life when the joint is subjected to abnormal forces experienced when training, hunting, during competition or after a traumatic injury. Such cartilage damage can initiate a series of more extensive changes within the joint and a cycle of degeneration?can be set in motion.

Now, SYNOQUIN can help!

For cartilage to grow and maintain its form and function within the joint it requires a steady supply of the key building blocks. Increasing the supply of these building blocks will guarantee their availability and ensure that if or when a problem occurs the dog defence mechanism is prepared.
Synoquin is a unique patented formula containing the five key building blocks, each performing a specific role within the joint. No other product contains these nutrients in this critical ratio and it is this successful formula that vets and dog owners alike have come to rely on.

How SYNOQUIN works... the unique patented formula.

1. Glucosamine HCl, THE REPAIRER.
Glucosamine HCl is the major building block for the synthesis of new and healthy glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Supplementation with Glucosamine has been shown to:

• Stimulate the manufacture of cartilage GAGs
• Improve the quality of GAGs in cartilage
• Provide natural protection against the cartilage damaging  effects of   anti-inflammatory drugs
• Prevent cartilage thinning
• Improve joint mobility

2. Chondroitin Sulphate ?THE BUILDER
Is the main GAG found in cartilage. Its primary function is to give cartilage its shock absorbing properties.

The key benefits are:

• Providing the building blocks for GAG synthesis
• Stimulating chondrocytes GAG synthesis
• Reducing GAG destruction
• Preventing joint space narrowing
• Stimulating joint fluid synthesis
• Reducing drug intake
• Improving joint function

3. N. Acetyl D. Glucosamine ?THE FACILITATOR
A key building block in the GAG chain and its inclusion ensures a higher percentage of active glucosamine sugar reaches the joint.

De-acetylated Glucosamine results in:

• Improved biosynthesis of GAGs
• Increased absorption levels in the blood stream
• Reduced liver metabolism of absorbed glucosamine
• Inhibition of catabolic cytokines action on chondrocytes
• Inhibition of release of leucocyte elastase
• Increased proteoaminoglycan levels within the joint
• Enhanced cartilage repair

4. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) ?THE SCAVENGER
Is the body primary water-soluble antioxidant. Animals are reliant on a daily dietary intake. Vitamin C will prevent further damage due to the effects of free radical production within a joint structure.

5. Zinc Sulphate, THE SYNTHESISER.
Is a dietary trace element essential for enzymatic processes throughout the body. It is especially important in the formation of cartilage and bone.

Why SYNOQUIN, is better Science?
Current anti-inflammatory drugs can temporarily reduce the clinical signs of inflammation and pain within the arthritic joint, but are not thought to help in the regenerative process.

SYNOQUIN is now the number one joint supplement recommended by UK veterinarians. This is because its ingredients work together synergistically, helping the body own maintenance and self repair processes to be optimised by natural supplementation. The results speak for themselves.
