Perna canaliculus (New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel) is a good source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), protein, minerals, and chondroitin sulfates for joint support.
Along with Glucosamine, MSM and Perna canaliculus, GLYCO-FLEX® III contains N,NDimethylglycine (DMG), Vitamins C and E, Selenium, Manganese, Grape Seed Extract and L Glutathione for additional antioxidant support. Vetri-Science holds 3 U.S. patents on DMG in the area of immune response, which demonstrates the multiple benefits that this ingredient can provide for the health and well-being of the dog.
The Perna canaliculus used in GLYCO-FLEX® III is produced by freeze-drying the entire mussel (excluding the shell).
Available in a smoke flavored chewable tablet or an artificial beef flavored soft chew.
