CURRENT JOINT THERAPIES MAY MASK THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ACTUALLY ADDRESSING THE CAUSE

The ingredients in VETRIFLEX® reduce pain and inflammation while repairing and restoring joint health.1-3 It's a joint effort. 

placeholder

VETRIFLEX® contains extensively researched ingredients including:  

  • CurcuVET® (Curcumin Phytosome®), which mimics the anti-inflammatory activity of an NSAID and is a potent COX-2 inhibitor2,4
  • Perna canaliculus (GlycOmega™ green-lipped mussel), with 57 nutritional factors needed for improved viscosity, flexibility, and tensile strength of the articular cartilage3
  • Phytosome® technology (powering curcumin, boswellia, and grape seed extract), which provides superior bioavailability5

Intervene early with clinically proven, all-natural, Health Canada–approved (NN. N9C8) VETRIFLEX® joint formula for cats and dogs.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANALGESIC ACTION OF AN NSAID:

  • Extensive studies have proven CurcuVET® to be a potent  COX-2 inhibitor.4
  • A recent study compared the bioactivity of CurcuVET® to NSAIDs, finding that CurcuVET® was effective in helping to maintain the markers associated with a normal inflammatory response in canines.1
  • Boswellia has been used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for reducing pain and inflammation. In several studies, boswellic acids have been found to have anti-inflammatory activity similar to that of the NSAIDs used in conventional medicine.6
  • Unlike NSAIDs, the botanicals curcumin and boswellia are well-tolerated and are unlikely to  cause adverse effects on kidney function, or cause stomach irritation or ulceration.1,6,7

THE POWER OF PERNA:

Perna canaliculus is a green-lipped mussel obtained from a sustainable New Zealand source. It contains:

  • Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9): Natural anti-inflammatory components that are not produced by the body
  • Chondroitin Sulfates: The principal component of cartilage – the shock absorbers for joints
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Necessary for maintaining the proper viscosity of synovial fluid surrounding the joint
  • Natural Glucosamine: A key building block for healthy cartilage
  • Amino Acids: Contains all 21 essential and non-essential amino acids – the building blocks of all bodily tissue
  • Minerals: Important cofactors for bone and cartilage health3

Perna canaliculus (GlycOmega™) provides

NUTRITIONAL FACTORS needed for improved viscosity, flexibility, and tensile strength of the articular cartilage.3

INCREASING THE BIOAVAILABILITY OF BOTANICALS:

Poor bioavailability of polyphenolics can be improved using the Phytosome® technology delivery system, a strategy that enhances the rate and the extent of solubilization into aqueous intestinal fluids and the capacity to cross biomembranes. In the Phytosome® process, an ingredient becomes an integral part of the lipid membrane, thus improving its systemic bioavailability when administered orally.5

  • Pharmacokinetic studies with CurcuVet® (Curcumin Phytosome®) demonstrate a nearly 30-fold increase in bioavailability when compared to standard curcumin extracts.8
  • The bioavailability of boswellic acids from Casperome® is greatly optimized both at the plasma and tissue levels.9 Studies show that serum levels of KBA (11-keto-ß-Boswellic acid) are increased sevenfold, and serum levels of ß-Boswellic acid can be increased threefold when compared to non-formulated extracts.9
  • Research has demonstrated LeucoSelect®'s ability to reduce oxidative stress and support plasma antioxidant defenses, both in physiological and clinical conditions.10

Phytosomes bind an herbal extract to a phospholipid. This unique Phytosome® Complex easily crosses the gut barrier resulting in significantly higher blood levels of the ingredients they are attached to.

VETRIFLEX® IS CLINICALLY PROVEN:

VETRIFLEX® features the clinically proven GlycoFlex® 3 formula, which showed a 41% increase in hind leg strength in four weeks, plus additional herbal extracts.11
