GlycoFlex 2 Hip and Joint Supplement for Cats represents stage 2 of our comprehensive joint support program designed to meet the needs of cats starting to slow down due to age, weight issues or the onset of joint health issues. Recommended by veterinarians for over 30 years, GlycoFlex 2 for cats includes quality joint support ingredients like glucosamine and MSM as well as our signature ingredient perna canaliculus sourced from the waters of New Zealand. Combined these ingredients lubricate and support joint structure and activity to help keep cats healthy and happy. FROM THE MANUFACTURER GLYCO-FLEX® II FELINE Vetri-Science® Laboratories’ Glyco-Flex® II Feline combines the multiple benefits of GlycOmega® brand Perna and our DMG with glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and manganese. This comprehensive blend of ingredients helps to optimize support of the structure and function of synovial joints in cats with increased need for joint support. GlycOmega® contains all major classes of GAGs that occur in connective tissue (joint cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and synovial fluids) like chondroitin sulfates and hyaluronic acid. RESEARCH AND UNDERSTANDING: Over 17 years, researchers have conducted several studies to determine the abilities of Glyco-Flex’s® main ingredients and the product as a whole. The GlycOmega® (Perna used in Glyco-Flex) is exclusive to Vetri-Science.® Out of top selling brands, Glyco-Flex® is the only joint support product line registered with the FDA as an animal health product. The GlycOmega® Perna whole mussel (used exclusively in Vetri-Science GlycoFlex® products) is the only New Zealand green lipped mussel clinically researched for its impact on the body’s inflammatory response. PATENTED N,N-DIMETHYLGLYCINE HCL Glyco-Flex® II Feline features our patented DMG, an adaptogen known for its immune support properties. DMG is naturally occurring in small amounts, and assists in methylation processes within the body. This amino acid derivative supports circulation and oxygen utilization, promoting better nutrient delivery to the joint. Vetri-Science® Laboratories has obtained four patents on DMG backed by 20 years of research. Image of a healthy Joint ADDED MSM Because Glyco-Flex® II Feline is designed to represent serious support; we’ve added MSM to our tablet and chewable formulas. MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane, is an organic, sulfur-containing compound. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the fundamental building blocks of joint cartilage, are linked together by disulfide bonds (bonds between two sulfur atoms). Because cartilage is in a sulfur-dependent state of quality, MSM supports joint and connective tissue health. ADDED GLUCOSAMINE Glyco-Flex® II stands out because of added glucosamine. A natural compound found in healthy cartilage, glucosamine sulfate is a constituent of glycosaminoglycans in synovial fluid, meaning it supports joint health through promoting synovial fluid viscosity and strength of the cartilage matrix. EVEN THE TASTE IS OPTIMAL Available in both a tablet formula and a chicken liver-flavored bite size chew, Glyco-Flex® II Feline is known for its high palatability.VetriScience products are manufactured in the U.S.A.
