Tip: Diabetic dogs should have their blood glucose monitored when taking glucosamine supplements.

How it Works:

One of the active ingredients in ProMotion is glucosamine, which is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage in both humans and pets. It helps hydrate healthy joints by increasing the production of molecules that bind and hold water in the cartilage. Healthy cartilage provides cushioning which helps protect a pets joints while exercising. Many believe that it provides clinical benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Further research on the effectiveness of glucosamine is still needed, but many of our customers find it to be very beneficial to their pets. ProMotion also contains manganese, which helps maintain adequate levels of nutrients required to build and repair connective tissue. Another ingredient, cysteine, helps the body detoxify and protects cells from free radical damage.

Cautions:

This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Diabetic dogs should have their blood glucose monitored when taking glucosamine supplements.

What are the side effects:

There are no reported side effects.

What special precautions are there:

This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Significant response may not be noticeable for up to 3 or 4 weeks. Diabetic dogs should have their blood glucose monitored when taking glucosamine supplements. Response depends on each pet.

In the event of an overdose:

Contact your veterinarian or veterinary emergency room.

How should I store this product:

Active Ingredients:

Microcrystalline Cellulose, Glucosamine HCl, Gelatin By-products (source of Hydrolyzed Collagen), Vegetarian Beef Flavor, Pork Liver Meal, Vegetarian Bacon Flavor, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate, Dried Whey, Ascorbic Acid, Grape Seed Extract (source of Bioflavanol), Cysteine, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate.

Ingredient Rationale: ProMotion

Glucosamine HCl - Supports the body's ability to generate new joint tissue, thereby supporting mobility. Supplementation of this bioavailable ingredient directly increases the production of hyaluronic acid, which is essential to the rehydration of the joint matrix. Glucosamine is also a rate-limiting nutrient for the production of the proteoglycan component of the cartilage matrix.

Hydrolyzed Collagen - Supports cartilage and joint matrix synthesis by supplying the amino acids necessary for collagen synthesis. Hydrolyzed collagen supplies both essential and nonessential amino acids in a highly purified, digestible form. One important amino acid it contains is hydroxyproline. Hydroxyproline makes up a major portion of collagen (approximately 10%) and is not readily available from the diet, so supplementation is important.

Bioflavanol - A potent free radical scavenger with vitamin C sparing properties. May also help support the replacement of broken collagen bundles, helping to restore flexibility to connective tissue.

Cysteine - Antioxidant that increases the body's endogenous supply of glutathione. Cysteine is a sulfur-containing molecule, which can donate its sulfur groups to collagen for proper cross-linking and to proteoglycans to help them maintain their proper structure and function.

Vitamin C - Another important antioxidant necessary for collagen synthesis, it helps maintain normal connective tissue. Vitamin C will also stimulate the production of hydroxyproline, another necessary component of collagen.

Manganese - A significant trace mineral that can act alone as an antioxidant in the blood stream and is also a cofactor of the endogenous superoxide dismutase antioxidant system. Superoxide dismutase is important within the joint matrix to prevent oxidative damage in the joint. Manganese is also required by the body to maintain the strength of tendons, ligaments and bones.

Zinc - An important trace mineral that is an antioxidant on its ownand is important as a coenzyme for metabolism. Zinc promotes healthy skin and supports the immune system. Supplementation is important, as zinc has been greatly depleted in the agricultural soils over the years.
