NSI ArthriPower For Pets Bacon Flavored -- 1500 mg - 200 Chewable Tablets

NSI ArthriPower For Pets Bacon Flavored -- 1500 mg - 200 Chewable Tablets

All-natural support for pet joint health! Contains optimal levels of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM for healthy cartilage production and maintenance.   How Does NSI® ArthriPower for Pets work? Just like humans, pets—who are extremely active by nature—can experience poor joint health over time. Age-related "wear and tear" may lead to a gradual deterioration of joint cartilage. With less of this protective, cushioning material covering the ends of bones at points of intersection, surfaces that should glide over one another instead begin to "scrape" together, causing pain, stiffness and loss of movement. ArthriPower™ for Pets contains a combination of the following four nutrients to protect pet joint health:. Glucosamine is a sugar produced in the body (and found in small amounts in some foods) that plays an important part in joint construction. It stimulates the production of "glycosaminoglycans," which are key structural components of cartilage. Supplementing with glucosamine is believed to provide the "building blocks" needed to build and maintain healthy cartilage. Chondroitin is another naturally-occurring molecule that promotes cartilage health. It keeps cartilage resilient by absorbing fluid (particularly water) into the connective tissue. It may also block the release of enzymes that trigger joint destruction. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic source of sulfur, necessary for the structural integrity of connective tissues. Because sulfur depletion is associated with connective-tissue complications, supplementing with MSM, which is 34% sulfur, is believed to have some benefit for joint health. Manganese is a trace mineral that also plays a part in joint cartilage production. It's also essential for chondroitin sulfate synthesis, which is critical to the organic matrix of bone. In addition, NSI® ArthriPower™ for Pets contains 500 mg of brewer's yeast, which is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and natural proteins that promote healthy skin and coats and help control shedding. ArthriPower™ for Pets is an ideal daily supplement that provides important joint-health nutrients in chewable, bacon-flavored tablets. Start supplementing your pet's diet today, before he or she begins to show signs (including difficulty walking; difficulty rising from a seated or lying position; unwillingness to move; dragging of back legs; and sensitivity to touch) of joint health complication. NSI® ArthriPower for Pets is better because it:. - Is a safe, natural way to help your pet maintain joint health over time. - Has a hearty bacon flavor your pet will love! Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"My mom's black lab, Brandy, started limping on a hind leg last winter. By spring, she couldn't even put weight on it and she wasn't even 2 years old. She soon stopped playing and just laid around and we missed her endless energy and goofiness. I take glucosomine chondroitin for my own arthritis and decided to try it on her. She loves the bacon flavor and within 6 weeks, was back to playing and doesn't even favor it any more - at least not often. We're all very happy with the product!"

"Our dog is old and a couple of years ago she started showing signs of major hip problems. We've bought all kinds of things for her but this seems to be the thing that helps her get the spring in her step and her giddy up and go going the fastest. Some days my kids will take her for very long walks and her recovery time use to be a couple of days. Now she seems to just need the remainder of the day and night and the next morning she is excited to get out and go again. This will be our permanent buy until she passes. It's cheaper than most of the stuff we've purchased for her too. NSI has such great products for humans and animals alike."

"My dog has been taking these now for 8 weeks and there has been a vast improvement in her hip joint's mobility. She no longer limps after running,
playing, and is not as stiff when getting up after a nap. Since I have added 2 twice per day to her meal times she is much better - this brand has the particular combination of ingredients that my vet recommended I put her on to see if it would help since nothing else had and it seems to be working.
At least she is more comfortable than before.
