Chondroitin Sulfate (GAG) - This is a natural polymer of protein and disaccharides composed of glucosamine, galactosamine, and glucuronic acid. Collectively chondroitin sulfates make up a major portion of the GAG's (glycoaminoglycans) in cartilage.
Glucosamine - a precursor of hyaluronic acid and other GAG's - helps with cartilage repair.
Hyaluronic acid is a principle component of cartilage and helps with inflamation and discomfort.
Jubilee GAG wafers are specifically formulated for dogs. These wafers are food products that may function to inhibit cartilage degredation by helping to stimulate the body's ability to produce more GAGs. the cartilage make up of our formulation may help with the hydration of joints, because of their polyanionic characteristics - thus, the lubrication needed in joints for proper function.
So the glucosamine and chondroiting in the FRR wafers
- provides a mechanism for nutrient absorbtion
- helps to lubricate joints
- has an anti-inflammatory effect on joints
- regulates activity on cartilage
- inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage.
The glucosamine and chondroitin that make up the GAG's in the Jubilee Wafers are in the form of a functional food, rather than the traditional oral pill form. Jubille GAG wafers are all-natural, not a drug Feeding then to your dogs, in combination with arthritis medication prescribed by your veterinarian, can be useful and has no side effects. They are not a substitute for treatment, but are a supportive means to assist with your dog's discomfort.
