VetriFlex for Cats

Description

VetriFlex® is an advanced joint formula that contains extensively researched ingredients and promotes superior bioavailability using low molecular weight and Phytosome More Bioavailable® technology. In a patented process an herbal extract is bound to a phospholipid. This innovative process encloses the extract in a phospholipid envelope thus creating the Phytosome More Bioavailable® ingredients. The ingredients are bound with phosphatidylcholine, the principle phospholipid found in cell membranes. This unique phytosome complex easily crosses the gut barrier resulting in significantly higher blood levels.

Recommended For

• Senior cats in need of advanced joint support
• Active cats that may spend time outdoors and are prone to joint issues
• Breeds that are predisposed to joint issues
• Cats experiencing occasional joint stiffness

Ingredients of Interest

CurcuVet® (Curcumin Phytosome)

• Numerous studies in dogs, horses, sheep, rodents, and humans demonstrate CurcuVet®’s potential for helping to maintain normal inflammatory processes.
• Extensive studies have proven curcumin to be a potent COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitor.
• A recent study found that CurcuVet® was effective in helping to downregulate genes involved in inflammatory response development.
• Multiple studies demonstrate a nearly 30 fold increase in bioavailability when compared to standard curcumin extracts.

Casperome® (Boswellia Phytosome)

• The bioavailability of Boswellic acids from Casperome® is greatly optimized both at the plasma and tissue levels.
• 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 standard Boswellia serrata gum capsules with the same amount of Boswellic acids.

LeucoSelect® (Grape Seed extract) Phytosome

• Research has demonstrated LeucoSelect®’s ability to reduce oxidative stress and to support plasma antioxidant defenses, both in physiological and clinical conditions.
• The scientific profile of LeucoSelect® Phytosome has been defined by extensive in vitro and in vivo experimental studies, clinical trials, and safety studies.

Hyaluronic Acid (HyaMax® Low Molecular Weight Sodium Hyaluronate)

• HyaMax® is a low molecular weight source of hyaluronic acid produced through fermentation. One study showed that orally administered HyaMax® hyaluronic acid was incorporated into connective tissue, skin cells, and joints, particularly cartilaginous joints.

Perna canaliculus (GlycOmega™ brand Green-Lipped Mussel)

• Research has demonstrated that Perna modulates the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, IL-1-, IL-2 and IL-6, cyclooxagenase enzymes, and Immuoglobulin IgG. The presence of chondroitin sulfates 4 and 6, hyaluronic acid, dermatan sulfate, and other key GAGs in Perna provide improved viscosity, flexibility, and tensile strength of the articular cartilage.
• Extensive clinical use in dogs, cats, and horses has led to improved mobility, range of motion, and comfort level of the animals.

N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl (DMG)

• DMG is referred to as a “metabolic enhancer” because of the many ways it can improve cellular metabolism, especially under conditions of stress in the body.
• A number of patents have been issued for the use of DMG, including US Patent #7,229646B2 entitled, “Methods and Compositions for Modulating the Immune Response and for the Treatment of Inflammatory Disease.”
