How does Phycox work?
Phycox helps to support joint mobility and bone structure. The highly concentrated source of phycocyanin works by blocking the COX-2 enzyme to reduce inflammation. Phycocyanin also fights against free radicals to help strengthen your dog's immune system and protect against cellular damage which can also play a role in degenerative conditions. Phycox and Phycox HA HypoAllergenic work the exact same way, with Phycox HA HypoAllergenic being suitable for dogs with allergies. Additional beneficial ingredients in Phycox include: Glucosamine, which helps support joint health by stimulating glycosaminoglycan production to help prevent cartilage deterioration; Boron, which increases bone strength; Creatine Monohydrate, an amino acid that may improve muscle strength and help with mobility; MSM to provide dietary sulfur to maintain healthy cellular membranes, muscles, and joints; and Omega-3 Fatty Acids to reduce inflammation by inhibiting enzymes that can break down cartilage.
