VETflex® is a breakthrough product in the world of osteoarthritis, joint pain, and cartilage degeneration. While most Glucosamine products available today are in capsule or pill form, the liquid Glucosamine found in VETflex® provides maximum absorption and is beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis and eases articular joint pain. The high quality liquid Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine HCL combine with ten other ingredients in a formula designed to

• Ease articular joint pain
• Assists in rebuilding and rehabilitating damaged cartilage
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve mobility

Liquid Glucosamine found in VETflex® is one the most effective osteoarthritis formulas on the market today. VETflex® is formulated with the highest quality Glucosamine and ten other synergistic arthritis fighting ingredients like chondroitin, boswellin, bromelain, yucca, and omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids to name a few.

It usually takes between six to ten weeks before you begin to notice any results when you take capsule Glucosamine products. However, with VETflex®, most animals experience significant pain relief within ten to fourteen days.

The Ingredients in VETflex®
Many joint care products on the market today do not contain either high quality Glucosamine or the ingredient amounts that their sellers claim they have. VETflex® contains pharmaceutical quality Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine HCL plus ten other ingredients formulated for maximum pain relief, cartilage protection, inflammation reduction, and overall joint care.
Here is a breakdown of one 1/4 oz. of VETflex®
1500 mg Glucosamine HCL and Glucosamine Sulfate
25 mg Shark Cartilage (20% Chondroitin Sulfate)
8 mg Boswellin
3 mg Yucca Powder
5 mg Manganese (Ascorbate)
1 mg Bromelain
5 mg Omega 3 Fatty Acid
1.67 mg Omega 6 Fatty Acid
80 IU Vitamin A
2 IU Vitamin E

So how do these ingredients work together to provide maximum relief?

Glucosamine - is a charged sugar molecule that is a key component of the extra cellular matrix of cartilage. It absorbs and releases water with each step, thereby acting as a shock absorber for the joints. With more Glucosamine, there is more joint protection. It is the essential and principal ingredient that determines the quantity of proteoglycan (water-holding) molecules that are formed in the body. The proteoglycans are large, water-binding molecules made up of (both) proteins and sugars. These are a major building block of healthy, vital cartilage. Glucosamine also stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) which are important proteins found in cartilage. They serve to "bind" the water within the cartilage matrix, slowing the deterioration of your joints, and easing your pain.

Shark Cartilage - provides a source of chondroitin Sulfate (20%) which works synergistically with Glucosamine to assist in rehabilitating the cartilage that is damaged. Our studies indicate that the use of shark cartilage improves the absorption of the Glucosamine.

Chondroitin Sulfate - serves to attract fluids into proteoglycan molecules which assists you in two ways. First, it draws nutrients into your cartilage. Secondly, it increases the flow of fluid into your cartilage to add resiliency. It also serves to protect existing cartilage from premature degeneration by blocking "bad" enzymes that destroy cartilage and as well, prevent nutrient replenishment. Chondroitin Sulfate is a naturally occurring component of cartilage that aids in the lubrication and cushioning of joints. Chondroitin also provides structure and flexibility to your joints.

Manganese Ascorbate - is a mineral that enhances the effectiveness of both Glucosamine and chondroitin Sulfates and synthesizes the production of healthy cartilage. It is essential for a healthy immune system and aids in the production of mucopolysaccharides, which are critical for maintaining healthy joints.

Yucca - has a lengthy history in easing stiff joints by blocking compounds that prevent the normal formation of cartilage. The root is rich in saponins that elevate your pet's ability to produce "natural" cortisone. Yucca also helps to block the release of toxins from the intestines that inhibit the normal function of cartilage. Yucca also has anti-inflammatory properties.

Bromelain - helps to inhibit pro-inflammatory compounds which reduce pain and swelling. Unlike aspirin, bromelain does not inhibit the production of prostaglandins, essential to healthy joints.

Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids - Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids act as anti-inflammatory agents. Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA, and ALA) are found in fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna, halibut, anchovies, and rainbow trout and soybean oil, flaxseed oil, and walnut oil. Omega-6 fatty acids (lineolic acid) comes from various common vegetable oils. The body converts lineolic acid into GLA which can help reduce joint inflammation.

Boswellin - has been used for centuries in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to maintain healthy joints. Boswellic acids improve blood supply to the joints and maintain the integrity of blood vessels. At least one study has indicated that they may open up collateral blood circulation to provide a more adequate blood
supply to your joints. Boswellin also serves to reduce swelling and improve mobility where individuals experience stiffness in the joints.

Vitamin A (Beta Carotene) - is essential for growth and repair of body tissues and it also aids in bone formation, and at the same time protecting against deterioration.

Vitamin E (Tocopheral) - is an antioxidant that acts to protect red blood cells and unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation damage. It also assists your body in maintaining healthy membrane tissue.
