ARTHRIX for Dogs and Cats' Improved Formula Contains
Five Important and Beneficial Nutrients

CM Complex^® (100 mg/tablet), is our proprietary highly concentrated Cetyl Myristoleate formulation. CM Complex is a potent anti-inflammatory compounds found in nature, and works much like the omega fatty acids found in fish and various plant seed oils (flaxseed, soybeans, etc.) The extract is stabilized to ensure that it doesn't degrade over time.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane, 500 mg/tablet) is an organic form of sulfur commonly found in nature. With increasing age, the amount of sulfur in joints decreases, and supplementation with MSM is highly desirable. For example, the sulfur content of arthritic cartilage contains only one-third of the concentration of sulfur in healthy cartilage. Sulfur is recognized as the third most important nutrient found in the body of all mammals, and MSM is frequently referred to as "nature's miracle healing nutrient". More information about MSM can be found on KALA Health's MSM web site (www.msmpure.com). The amount added is equivalent to a human dosage of 4-5 grams of MSM, the recommended amount for people.

GLUCOSAMINE (150 mg/tablet) is essential for the maintenance and proper functioning of cartilage, and the production of new cartilage. A shortage of cartilage can cause painful joint movement. ARTHRIX contains the human equivalent of approximately 1,500-mg glucosamine, and no further supplementation of glucosamine is necessary. Glucosamine is an important building block of many GAGs  (glycosaminoglycans), which form the matrix of cartilage. Glucosamine is an important regulator of GAG-synthesis.  Glucosamine is derived from chitin, a substance which is responsible for the strength of the exoskeleton of crustaceans, insects and spiders. KALA Health's ARTHRIX formula contains the primary glucosamine HCl salt because it is easily assimilated by the body and yields more glucosamine per unit weight than glucosamine sulfate.

ESTER-C^® (50 mg/tablet) Ester-C^® is patented, non-acidic vitamin C and its metabolites. It does not cause the stomach and digestive problems of ordinary vitamin C.  Ester-C is different from ordinary or buffered vitamin C because:

In comparison with ordinary vitamin C, Ester-C is much better taken up by the body, stays in the body longer, and is used more efficiently by cells and connective tissues. ARTHRIX contains the human equivalent of 500-mg Ester-C, which may be considered the same as 2 grams of ordinary vitamin C.

TRACE MINERALS (10 mg/tablet) are essential for maintaining the correct mineral balance in the body. Most commercial foods contain insufficient essential minerals and trace elements. This shortage of minerals may contribute to joint problems in older animals. ARTHRIX for Dogs and Cats contains all the needed minerals to provide a strong foundation for balanced supplementation for your pet's diet.
