VetriScience Vetri Disc Spine and Back Support Formula with Chondroitin for Dogs – Joint Health and Mobility Support for Small Medium and Large Dogs

Description

Vetri-Disc is a unique formulation designed exclusively to support connective
tissues associated with the spine. Vetri-Disc combines bovine tracheal
cartilage with mineral sulfates, amino acids, vitamins, pepsin, and natural
sources of silicon, which are all necessary for the support and maintenance of
connective tissue. About the formula: Bovine Tracheal Cartilage is rich in
Chondroitin Sulfates which make up the matrix of connective tissue and are
found in high concentration in the tissue of the spine and intervertebral
discs. Manganese is necessary for the activation of enzymes that are vital for
the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans. Provides Equisetum arvense a natural
source of silicon which is necessary for the synthesis and integrity of
connective tissue. Vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate and Ascorbic Acid) supports
collagen production and glycosaminoglycan metabolism. Calcium is essential for
proper growth and maintenance of bone. Pyridoxine HCI (Vitamin B6) is
necessary for the formation of certain proteins and aids in nerve function.
Vitamin D aids in the absorption of Calcium from the intestinal tract and in
the breakdown and assimilation of phosphorous. Magnesium (Sulfate, Oxide)
helps aid bone growth and the assimilation of calcium and potassium. Magnesium
also plays an important role in neuromuscular contractions (relaxes the
muscles). Zinc (Sulfate) is necessary for tissue respiration and is important
in the healing process. Taurine is a sulfur containing amino acid involved in
the synthesis of connective tissue. Serine is an amino acid which links the
glycosaminoglycans structure to the protein portion of connective tissue.

Features:

• Vetri Disc combines bovine tracheal cartilage with amino acids, mineral sulfates, vitamins, pepsin, and horsetail rush (Equisetum arvense) to support back health and the spines connective tissues.
• Bovine tracheal cartilage is a rich source of chondroitin sulfates which comprise the connective tissue matrix and are found in an especially high concentration in the spinal and invertebrate disc tissues
• Taurine and horsetail rush are necessary for the synthesis of connective tissue while minerals like calcium and magnesium support bone growth and maintenance
• Zinc is necessary for tissue respiration and plays a key role in the bodys healing process. Amino acids such as serine link the glycosaminoglycan structure to connective tissue proteins, and vitamins C and D support collagen production and calcium absorption.
