Canine Musculoskeletal Support is a supplement that promotes the musculoskeletal system health for dogs: tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, and muscles. Supports optimal musculoskeletal function Supports healthy movement Supports joint comfort & overall joint health The canine musculoskeletal system has many components: bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, and organs that support these tissues including the liver, kidneys, and adrenal glands. Benefits of Canine Musculoskeletal Support Developed to support canine’s optimal health and function, Canine Musculoskeletal is a joint support supplement for dogs that supports collagen formation, healthy cartilage, and bone health. It also provides antioxidant support. How the Ingredients in Canine Musculoskeletal Support Work Canine Musculoskeletal Support provides manganese, an essential nutrient. Manganese is essential for bone formation and maintenance.  It contains Boswellia serrata, an herb associated with pathways that support healthy inflammatory processes. It also contains Perna canaliculus, New Zealand green lipped mussel, which is associated with joint health and comfort in mammals including dogs. Frequently Asked Questions When should you start to pay attention to canine joint health?It is important to proactively support healthy joints from a young age. Unfortunately, joint support is sometimes not considered until after a dog shows discomfort that often accompanies the natural aging process. As soon as dogs are able to eat solid foods — within the first year — it is safe to consider adding nutritional support, including through nutritional supplements, for joints and connective tissues.  What is the optimal way for canines to consume Canine Musculoskeletal Support?There are multiple ways to give dogs Canine Musculoskeletal Support. It most often is mixed with a food the dog enjoys. Some will eat the powder mixed with dry food, while others may need it mixed in with wet food. Some will even lick it right out of the bowl. What are easy exercises for canines to work their musculoskeletal systems?The exercise that is best may vary from dog to dog based on age, weight, and health status. For some, just a simple daily walk is beneficial to get those joints and connective tissues moving. Some may require higher levels of activity like running with their owners, chasing a ball, or agility-type activities such as frisbee. Swimming is also a great way to get those joints moving.

Gut Flora Complex is a unique supplement that combines herbs and essential oils to support a healthy digestive environment and digestive function.* It contains Andrographis and Phellodendron with Oregano and Anise essential oils for healthy gastrointestinal function support.* These herbs have been traditionally used in herbal preparations to: Cleanse and promote healthy function of the gastrointestinal tract* Encourage a healthy intestinal environment by helping to maintain optimal gut (intestinal) flora* Relieve occasional mild gastrointestinal discomfort, including bloating and flatulence* Support healthy immune system response* How Gut Flora Complex Works to Support Your Gut Health Encourages a Healthy Intestinal Environment*Andrographis has traditionally been used for its bitter action and to support digestion. Oregano essential oil (orally), Phellodendron and Andrographis have been used traditionally to cleanse the lower gastrointestinal tract1 which helps promote colonization of beneficial intestinal microbiota. Phellodendron contains the important constituent, berberine, which supports cleansing of the lower gastrointestinal tract. Supports Immune System Health*While intestinal health is important for immune function, a healthy immune system also helps the body keep a healthy balance of intestinal flora. Andrographis has been used traditionally to support a healthy immune system.3 Relieves GIT Symptoms & Promotes Bowel Regularity*Traditionally, Aniseed essential oil is used in Western herbal medicine to help relieve occasional mild gastrointestinal discomfort, due to its carminative actions. Phellodendron is also used traditionally in Chinese medicine to support bowel regularity, with its TCM cooling dry qualities.5,6The human gastrointestinal tract (mainly the large bowel) is the natural habitat for a large and diverse population of microorganisms known collectively as the intestinal microbiome. Adequate digestive function is required to maintain a healthy microbiome and intestinal environment. Digestive secretions inhibit undesirable microflora and promote an environment that favors the colonization of beneficial microbiota.1,2 In turn, these microbiota benefit the host by supporting digestive function (i.e. metabolizing nutrients for energy), helps in reducing undesirable microflora, and by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and other metabolites that help to maintain intestinal health and balance.3A healthy microbiome also supports immune function via the immune-related tissues of the intestine such as the intestinal lymph tissue. If this balance is disrupted – commonly due to poor diet, gastrointestinal upsets or stress4 – the intestinal environment and subsequent function can become unbalanced. This results in gastrointestinal symptoms such as intestinal bloating, flatulence and discomfort.5 As such, rebalancing the intestinal environment may help to reduce these symptoms, promote a healthy microbiome and restore optimal digestive function. What is Gut Flora Complex?Gut Flora Complex is a unique supplement that combines herbs and essential oils to support a healthy digestive environment and digestive function.* When should I take Gut Flora Complex?The ideal time to take Gut Flora Complex is before food, or as directed by your health care professional. Who can benefit from Gut Flora Complex?Patients experiencing stress, digestive upset, or who don’t eat as well as they should, may benefit from Gut Flora Complex.References:  1.

Canine Immune System Support is a supplement that supports dogs' immune system function, endocrine health, and provides nutritional and biochemical support. Provides nutritional and biochemical support for healthy immune system Supports healthy immune system function Supports immune cell health Supports endocrine health Supports healthy inflammatory processes Provides antioxidant support Beneficial for dogs responding to common environmental challenges How the Canine Immune System Works A dog’s immune system is a complex array of cells that are found throughout the body. Immune cells are designed to work in conjunction with other cells to provide a defense against unwanted invaders. The complexity of a dog’s immune system requires a multidimensional approach of nutritional factors. The nutritional support of the immune system is directed at facilitating normal function and is not intended to be suppressive or stimulating. How Zinc Supports Canine Immune Health Zinc plays a vital role in immune cell signaling. Zinc homeostasis influences immune cell activity, function, and development by directly influencing their formation or altering signal protein secretion.1-6 How Kelp Supports the Canine Immune System Kelp is a whole food source of iodine. Iodine is thought to support the function of  immune cells.7 Iodine also indirectly possesses antioxidant activity.8 Citations Wellinghausen, N., Kirchner, H. & Rink, L. The immunobiology of zinc.
