Supplements pt.2

Glucosamine and Chondroitin : A

First, what is glucosamine? Glucosamine is a combination of an amino acid and sugar. Glucosamine is found in cartilage and connective tissues.

Now, what is chondroitin? Chondroitin is much like glucosamine in that it is a naturally occurring enzyme that decreases the activity of enzymes that break down cartilage in a joint.

You can find these supplements most commonly together, if you prefer to use one or the other they can be found separately.

Glusocamine and Chondroitin are excellent supplements to use if you have a pet that is experiencing arthritis or any other joint/spine related issues.

60 mg per 10 pounds is the proper twice-daily dosage for your pet.

125 mg per 10 pounds is the proper once-daily dosage for your pet.
