Feeding nutritional supplements in an appropriate amount
Dogs in After a fracture, or if you are gifted with skeletal dysplasia, you can use some nutritional supplements to improve your health. However, even if it is a nutritional supplement, we should still be careful when choosing it. We need to consider the ingredients, purity and efficacy of the nutritional supplement.
1. The purity and structure of nutrients
Many People ask why the prices are so different even though the factors are close together. This is determined by the craftsmanship of the factors involved. First of all, the best key products will show purity. If the purity is not shown, then even if the content is high, the active ingredients may be many. Furthermore, whether capsule-packed powder or tablets, capsule-packed powder is the easiest to absorb and has the best effect, but it is more troublesome to feed. Tablets are difficult to absorb, but easy to feed.
So the key products you buy must have an indication of whether the purity is 95% or 99%. If there is proof of impurity, it must be certified. Some key nutritional products produced in the United States that show impurity must have the certification mark of NASC (National Animal Supplement Council). With NASC certification, the quality is absolutely guaranteed. At present, some imported or domestic joint nutrition products have added pharmaceutical analgesic ingredients. This is very unfair. On the surface, it has a very obvious effect on joint pain relief. However, long-term use may cause damage to the liver and kidneys of dogs. Great harm, but also drug dependence. If key nutritional products produced in the United States have NASC certification, the quality of the product is very reliable.
Joint protection products, the most commonly used by veterinarians internationally are: Cosequin DS and Vetplus Synoquin, Cosequin DS is produced in the United States. Therefore, all veterinarians in North America use Cosequin DS, and Synoquin is produced in the United Kingdom, so European veterinarians basically use Synoquin. France’s Virbac bone-building music has been well promoted in China, so ChinaXia's veterinarians all recommend French Virbac.
Both the brand and the ingredients need to be paid attention to
2. How do glucosamine and chondroitin work?
Glucosamine is a very complex process in joint protection. Cartilage is divided into several different types of cells, one of which It is cartilage cells. Chondrocytes control the synthesis of new cartilage. Cartilage connections are damaged and replaced under normal wear and tear. When a dog has hip dysplasia or aging and cartilage cells cannot normally synthesize new cartilage to replace the old damaged cartilage, glucose Amine provides structural raw materials for the synthesis of new cartilage, and glucosamine is an essential substance for the production of new tissue cells, called glycosaminoglycans. The mucopolysaccharide combined with hyaluronic acid produces new collagen, which is an important structural material for the synthesis of cartilage.
Chondroitin is also one of the synthetic mucopolysaccharides required to produce cartilage, but its most important function is to inhibit and eliminate damaging enzymes. This damaging enzyme accelerates the breakdown of cartilage, and chondroitin helps reduce the damage these damaging enzymes do to cartilage.
So glucosamine and chondroitin not only have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, they also repair damaged cartilage cells and prevent cartilage cell damage. . For the prevention of joint diseases, it is possible to take joint supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin in an appropriate amount.
Even if it is a nutritional supplement, the amount of feeding should not be too much, otherwise it will not only be useless, but also cause the dog to develop symptoms. Certain and nutritious. Therefore, attention should be paid to both the selection and the amount of feeding.
