The 28 Active Neutraceuticals in Joint Aid for Dogs

Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.

Amino Acids (x5): High levels of arginine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine and valine, essential for the production of muscle tissue.

Beta Carotene (Vitamin A Precursor): A safe and effective way to provide the building blocks for vitamin A, which is vital for vision, appetite and growth.

Betaine: Helps preserve the availability of essential amino acids methionine and choline for use within the body.

Biotin: Essential for the integrity of claws and coat, as well as the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and condition.

Calcium: Essential as a major constituent of bones and required for muscle contractions (all movement), cell membrane function and enzyme regulation.

Collagen Matrix: Possesses great tensile strength and provides the framework that gives tissues their firmness and resilience. It is essential for connecting and supporting the bones, tendons, muscles and cartilage.

Curcumin: An active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium.

Folic Acid (Vit B9): Helps produce healthy blood cells and used by the body to manufacture DNA.

Glucosamine (Vegetable Source): Gives cartilage its structure and shock absorbing qualities. It is involved in the formation of cartilage, tendons, skin, bone and ligaments.

Glutamic Acid: A natural flavour enhancer and an important nutritional support for natural gut health during times of stress.

Oligosaccharides (Mannan) (Prebiotic): Support the immune system by maintaining naturally high levels of macrophage activity to block harmful organisms, being absorbed into the bloodstream.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Crucial for maintaining the natural anti-inflammatory action of the body. 

Hyaluronic Acid (Vegetable Source): Involved in the structural formation of cartilage and helps to cushion and lubricate the joints.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): Essential for the manufacture of collagen and a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues.

Piperine Black Pepper Extract: Supports the retention in the metabolism of some active nutraceuticals e.g. curcumin.

Salt: Sodium Chloride: An important electrolyte which regulates bodily fluids across cells and essential for movement of nerve impulses across the body.

Trace Minerals (x3): Provides protected selenium, protected manganese and magnesium to help maintain low levels of muscle reaction to work.

Vitamin B6: Supports protein metabolism, growth and cognitive function.

Vitamin B12: Essential for the utilisation of amino acids; involved in the production of red blood cells and the integrity of the nervous system.

Vitamin C: Essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals.

Vitamin D3: Crucial for bone development. Also important for the immune system, fertility and the release of insulin.

Vitamin E: A natural antioxidant and essential for the health of reproductive, muscular, circulatory and nervous systems and immune functions in the metabolism.

The 4 Active Neutraceuticals in the Oatinol Delivery System

Oatinol is a natural high quality oil based concept developed by and unique to GWF Nutrition. When incorporated into the feed it supplies the following four active nutraceuticals to:

• Maintain gut cell integrity.
• Maintain the lining of the gut.
• Support the immune system.
• Aid the absorption of active ingredients, vitamins and trace elements.

Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers: ​Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.

Natural Tocotrienol Antioxidants: ​Tocotrienol antioxidants are a natural form of vitamin E. They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption.

Oat Derived Beta Glucans: ​Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption.

Phospholipids: ​Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and have been shown to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption.
