The Best Supplements and Ingredients for Dog Joint Health
Joint supplements have become big business for pets. And, it seems that every company is producing 3 – 4 different types of joint supplements with slightly different ingredients. It is often hard to tell fact from fiction. So, here are a list of some of the more proven supplements that have shown to help dogs with spine, hip, or joint issues:
Glucosamine – This is typically the number one recommended ingredient for a joint supplement in dogs and humans. Glucosamine is naturally produced in your dog's body from glucose and the Amino Acid, Glutamine (hence the name, "glucosamine"). It acts creates a cushion-like effect on the cartilage between the joints, allowing them to retain water so that they can absorb shock and withstand compression. Glucosamine comes in two forms: HCL and Sulfate. Both seem to work the same, but Sufate has more sodium content.
Chondroitin Sulfate - Chondroitin sulfate has been proven to assist by drawing nutrients into the cartilage. It also protects existing cartilage from premature degeneration by blocking "bad" enzymes that destroy cartilage.
Hyaluronic Acid - Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Hyaluronic Acid are all related molecules in the body. While glucosamine and chondroitin are used in the repair and rebuilding of the tissue in the cartilage, hyaluronic Acid works on the joint fluid itself.
Manganese - Manganese is a mineral that enhances the effectiveness of both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates and synthesizes the production of healthy cartilage. It also aids in the production of mucopolysaccharides, which are sugar molecules found often in fluid around the joints and are critical for maintaining healthy joints.
Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel) - contains natural anti-inflammatory agents and many essential building blocks needed to rebuild the necessary components in joints. It also is reported to reduce pain, and inflammation and improve joint mobility.
Methyl-sulfonylmethane (MSM) - MSM has been promoted as having powerful anti-inflammatory and pain reducing properties, blocking the pain perception in certain nerve fibers before the pain impulse reaches the brain.
Vitamin C - Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) mobilizes the body's self-defense mechanisms to assist in overcoming disease. It is also a powerful antioxidant required to produce collagen, which is the main supportive protein in cartilage, tendon, and connective tissue.
Fatty Acids, such as Omega 3 & Omega 6 - Fatty Acids may reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, as well as provide therapeutic effects in your dog for arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer therapy, kidney disorders
Yucca schidegera - this is a natural root reported to help elevate your pet's ability to produce "natural" cortisone. Yucca is reported to help block the release of toxins from the intestines that inhibit the normal function of cartilage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Boswellin - Studies indicate that Boswellic acids may open up collateral blood circulation to provide a more adequate blood supply to the joints. Boswellin also serves to reduce swelling and improve mobility where individuals experience stiffness in the joints.
Bromelain - Bromelain helps to inhibit pro-inflammatory compounds, which reduces pain and swelling.
