Flex Canine is a nutritional supplement (100% natural) product, formulated so that it is highly palatable to dogs.  It works by helping to maintain cartilage elasticity and aids in the repair of damaged cartilage.  Flex Canines' active ingredients include Glucosamine Sulphate.  Mixed Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and Manganese Ascorbate.

Glucosamine is the major structural component of Chondroitin Sulphate, the principle Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in cartilage.  It is the GAGs that maintain the high water content of cartilage and hence its ability to resist the compressive forces during weight bearing.  When the joints need more Glucosamine, as always happens in degenerative joint disease, the body is unable to speed up production because it is set at a fixed rate.  Therefore a supplementary form of Glucosamine is beneficial.  The body is able to absorb the Glucosamine and use it directly in the joints to repair and maintain the cartilage.  

The mixed Glycosaminoglycans include Chondroitin Sulphate and Keratin Sulphate. both of these are used in the cartilage repair process.  The Manganese Ascorbate is necessary for the conversion of the Glucosamine to GAGs to occur.

The nutritional supplementation of Glucosamine should be given whenever impaired joint function limits your dogs mobility.
