Joint Force Gluco for Dogs

CdG Joint Force Gluco – plant-based glucosamine & chondroitin sulphate for dogs Developed for dogs, Chia de Gracia's Joint Force Gluco is a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate, containing glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, and a pinch of love 🧡 When the right nutrients are considered in the diet Joint Force Gluco stands out with its 100 % plant-based glucosamine, produced through fermentation technology without crustacean-derived raw materials. The product brings structural components related to the composition of joint tissue into the daily diet. Plant-based glucosamine offers a modern and ecological alternative to traditional crustacean-derived glucosamine and is suitable for situations where the origin of raw materials is an important consideration. Glucosamine & chondroitin sulphate – what is it about? Glucosamine occurs naturally in cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, where it is part of the normal structure of connective tissue. Chondroitin sulphate is one of the key structural components of cartilage and is found in the connective tissue of all vertebrates. The amount of these compounds in the body can change with age, which is one reason why the overall diet is often reviewed at different life stages and under varying levels of exertion. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate have been studied in both dogs in several contexts, examining aspects such as their absorption and use as part of the diet. A plant-based choice The glucosamine used by CdG is 100 % plant-based and produced by fermentation. The plant-based alternative offers a modern and ecological way to incorporate glucosamine into the diet – without crustacean-derived raw materials. Everyday use Joint Force Gluco is suitable for use as part of a balanced diet: for actively exercising dogs in connection with varying levels of exertion for different life stages, when the overall diet is being reviewed Dosage 10–20 g / day 1 tbsp ≈ 12 g 1 tsp ≈ 4 g Dogs: < 3 kg: 1/4 tsp / day 3–5 kg: 1/2 tsp / day 5–15 kg: 2/3 tsp / day 15–30 kg: 1 tsp / day 30–45 kg: 1,5 tsp / day 45–60 kg: 1,5–2 tsp / day Mix into the regular feed. Composition Glucosamine hydrochloride – of which glucosamine 83 % (830 000 mg/kg) Chondroitin sulphate – of which chondroitin 90 % (900 000 mg/kg) Studies Glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate have been studied in dogs in several contexts, and they are an established part of many feeding solutions that take into account joint tissue structure and loading.

Additional information The 100 % plant-based and vegan glucosamine used by CdG is an environmentally friendly and sustainable glucosamine product whose environmental impact is significantly lower than that of a corresponding crustacean-derived product. The traditional method of producing glucosamine from crustaceans requires a large amount of chemicals, which in turn generates vast quantities of toxic wastewater. The production of plant-based glucosamine generates only 2 % of the wastewater compared to the amount caused by the crustacean-derived product. Note! Not suitable for those with corn allergies – the glucosamine is corn-derived.
