| Vet Review | One of the more reliable economic alternatives to some of the more expensive joint supplements such as Cosequin and Glyco-Flex is the supplement joint enhancer from 1800petmeds. The excellent quantity of glucosamine and chondroitin helps maintain healthy joints, as well as improve flexibility and ease of motion and jumping. I have found that most dogs do love the pork flavor, making the product quite easy to administer. I also like the fact that joint enhancer also includes vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium, and bioflavonoid that can have antioxidant effects and protective benefits on the joints. I have only seen rare side effects with this product with occasional diarrhea. This is an excellent preventative product for joint health, as well as therapeutic for dogs with existing joint disease. I give this product an overall rating of 4 out of 5. | One of the most impressive aspects of the 1800petmeds pharmacy services is their ability of providing to the clients many wonderful products labelled with the name 1800petmeds, that often offer equal if not superior clinical results to some of the more expensive brand name products often sold by veterinarians. . There is no better product in my experience that demonstates this more than the 1800petmeds super joint enhancer. This terrific blend of glucosamine, chondroitan and MSM makes up a vital component of any preventative or therapeutic joint health program. Readily acceptable by most pets in a pleasant pork/beef flavoring, I have found this product so effective in practice in helping with enhancing post operative healing, as well as when used over a long period of time, extremely helpful in easing joint pain and helping manage ongoing joint inflammation of degenerative joint disease. I do find even superior results when I combine the super joint enhancer with other healing agents like proanthozone, which decreases free radical inflammation, and helps strengthen the collagen that also makes up the so called glue of the joints. Along with omega 3 fatty acids like super joint omega or Be Well from 1800petmeds, I often find this triad of supplements highly successful in enhancing the quality of life of painful or arthritic pets, often sparing the need for stronger prescription drugs that may cause side effects in sensitive patients when used long term. The only disadvantages I can see is the rare case of diarrhea from such glucosamine products, or if the pet is allergic to beef or pork. And while in the human literature, glucosamine derivatives have been suggested at causing insulin resistance in humans, I have not found this to be a significant issue in our companion animals. However because of the presence of glucose in this product, any diabetic patients who stay on this product long term, should have their sugar regulation monitored by their local veterinarians to make sure there is no significant impact on blood sugar levels. Other than these minor concerns, I highly endorse this product, especially when combined with the other wonderful joint supplements available from 1800petmeds.I rate this product 5 out of 5. | One of my favorite long term and reliable joint supplements that has been out for years is the product Glyco-Flex classic by Vetri-Science. The main ingredient in this wonderful product, known as perna canaliculus(the green lipped mussel) has many years of clinical research behind its use in the human field for helping treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This product was the very first offered by one of the most trustworthy and reliable companies in Vetri-Science, and was the basis for many of their other wonderful Glyco-Flex products. This product helps to maintain healthy joints and connective tissue health, and so it is an excellent product to use as a preventative in those pets predisposed to hip or joint problems. The only cautions I can bring up is to check with your veterinarian if a pet is diabetic, as well as if there is a history of urinary tract stones. I find that any digestive side effects are prevented by giving the chewable supplement with food. It should also be avoided in pregnant and breeding animals. I give this product an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5. |
