Joint diseases occur in animals of all ages. The causes of many of them are various stresses resulting from genetic or congenital predispositions. In addition, a large group of diseases are those that occur as a result of mechanical damage through injury. Other causes include obesity, by which the joints are overstressed. Our Baltica Joint Supplement for Junior is an excellent preparation for young and growing dogs to support the correct development and function of the musculoskeletal system. It is recommended for additional dietary support for animals with abnormalities in the development of joint cartilage or in which there is a risk of problems within the locomotor system during rapid growth (large and giant breed dogs).
Baltica Joint Supplement for Junior contains collagen in its composition. In the case of young dogs, supplementation with this ingredient can strengthen the developing joint cartilage and further reduce the danger of degeneration resulting from rapid growth or high body weight. This is particularly important for large and giant breed dogs.
Dogs that are highly active on a daily basis are often exposed to high stress on their joints and musculoskeletal system. For this reason, it is recommended that they be given collagen to strengthen the dog's stressed joints and protect its musculoskeletal system from damage. In addition, it will ensure the resilience of joints, ligaments and tendons as well as bones, thus minimising the risk of injury and ensuring health and excellent function.
Importantly, when supplementing with collagen, vitamin C should also be given in addition. This is necessary in order to properly process the collagen taken in. For this reason, vitamin C is also included in the composition of Baltica Joint Supplement for Junior.
Another ingredient contained in Baltica Joint Supplement for Junior is the New Zealand clam. Research conducted shows that these mussels can have a positive effect on the joints of animals suffering from osteoarthritis. Supplementation reduced the severity of symptoms, reduced pain and also joint stiffness. In addition, these mussels help to reduce pain and stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis. The mussels contained in Baltica Joint Supplement for Junior contain glucosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are the building blocks of cartilage and joint fluid. This makes New Zealand mussels a natural way of nourishing your pet's joints. In addition, they have a beneficial effect on improving the coat, skin and general condition. This is particularly recommended for supplementation for young animals and during periods of intensive growth and development.
Another ingredient in Baltica Joint Supplement for Junior is glucosamine. Supplying supplements with glucosamine for dogs significantly helps to rebuild cartilage and also restores the normal function of the animal's joints. Glucosamine sulphate is an ingredient actively involved in the formation and regeneration of the protective cartilage layer. Studies have clearly shown that glucosamine sulphate is even more effective than typical arthritis remedies, i.e. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Another exceptionally beneficial means of supporting your pet's joints is also found in Baltica Joint Supplement for Junior: chondroitin sulphate. This element is an amino sugar, which is the main building block of joint cartilage. It is due to the effective action of this ingredient that the cartilage gains much better strength, as well as greater elasticity. Importantly, this substance has an analgesic effect and also contributes to the reconstruction and regeneration of cartilage and bone tissue. Chondroitin also significantly improves the mobility and overall performance of joints, and additionally has an anti-inflammatory effect. This ingredient should appear in the diet of elderly, sick or obese dogs, as these are the animals most prone to injuries and various joint disorders. It is also worth remembering that some breeds of dogs - especially large and giant ones - are more prone to degeneration and dysplasia.
