Joint Force Curcumin + HA for Dogs

CdG Joint Force Curcumin + HA – plant-based glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronic acid & curcumin for dogs Chia de Gracia's Joint Force Curcumin + HA is a versatile combination of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronic acid and high-concentration curcumin (95%), bringing compounds related to joint tissue composition into the diet – plus a pinch of love 🧡 Joint Force Curcumin + HA is built on the same foundation as CdG Joint Force Gluco, but brings a broader combination of compounds related to the composition and nutrition of connective tissue into the diet. When the diet takes structure and the whole picture into account It's not about individual ingredients – it's about the whole picture. Joint Force Curcumin + HA combines several compounds related to the composition and nutrition of cartilage, connective tissue and synovial fluid – as part of the daily diet across different levels of activity and life stages. When the diet needs to address multiple factors related to joint tissue composition, a broader combination is often chosen. Why these particular ingredients? Glucosamine & chondroitin sulphate 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. Hyaluronic acid Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in, among other things, synovial fluid and connective tissue, where it is associated with the viscoelastic properties of the fluid. Curcumin (95%) Curcumin is a bioactive compound derived from turmeric that contains compounds naturally found in plants, such as polyphenols. The levels of these compounds in the body can change with age, and the level of activity also affects how the overall diet is assessed in different situations. Studied as part of the diet Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronic acid and curcumin have been studied both individually and in various combinations in dogs. Studies examine, among other things, their absorption, metabolism and use as part of the diet during different levels of activity and life stages. 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 include glucosamine as part of the diet – without crustacean-derived raw materials. Use Suitable for use as part of a varied and balanced diet: for actively exercising dogs during varying levels of activity for different life stages Dosage 15 g / day 1 tbsp ≈ 12 g 1 tsp ≈ 4 g Dogs: < 3 kg: 1/4 tsp / day 3–5 kg: 1/3 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.
