Is glucosamine useful for dogs?
Glucosamine is a so-called amino sugar, which is a natural component of the connective tissue, cartilage and synovia (joint fluid) in both dogs and humans.
Glucosamine as a food supplement for dogs
Glucosamine is contained in numerous dietary supplements for dogs. Taking appropriate preparations is intended to promote joint health. To this end, glucosamine is intended in particular to help ligaments, tendons, cartilage and synovial fluid and to counteract existing problems with mobility.
Dog owners can choose between food supplements containing only glucosamine as an active ingredient and products containing various other active ingredients such as MSM or chondroitin.
How does glucosamine work in dogs?
It is clear that glucosamine is an important nutrient for dogs' joints. However, if the amino sugar is the only active ingredient in the form of a food supplement, the expected effect is usually manageable.
Especially for dogs that already suffer from joint problems, a supplement that combines the effectiveness of different nutrients is usually the better choice.
Joints & Bones from Bellfor with Glucosamine
With Bellfor Joints & Bones we have developed a dietary supplement for dogs that contains glucosamine and various other valuable nutrients for your dog's joints.
Bellfor Joints & Bones is a completely natural preparation, for which we rely on the innovative active ingredient complex Ovopet, which is derived from the membrane of hen's egg shells.
Ovopet naturally contains over 500 different active ingredients. Of these, collagen, chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine are particularly relevant for your dog's joint health.
Studies prove the effectiveness
Studies have shown that the combination of glucosamine and the other substances in Ovopet is particularly effective. In many cases, the first results have been seen in dogs after just 20 days.
Bellfor Joints & Bones is therefore suitable as a digestible food supplement for dogs that are active in sports or older dogs, as well as for animals that are struggling with joint diseases such as hip dysplasia or arthrosis.
Cannabidiol as a supplement for pain therapy
Joint diseases are usually extremely painful. Their treatment therefore requires, among other things, suitable measures to relieve the pain. However, the long-term use of conventional painkillers is usually associated with severe side effects.
People are therefore increasingly relying on better-tolerated alternatives with natural substances, such as cannabidiol. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is extracted from hemp plants and has been used increasingly successfully in pain therapy for some time.
The great advantage of CBD, which is available as an oil from Auxilium Elixir, for example, is that it causes practically no side effects and, moreover, has no addictive potential. This makes it the perfect choice to complement conventional methods of pain therapy.
Our conclusion on glucosamine for dogs
As you can see, glucosamine is indeed an important nutrient that plays a major role in your dog's joint health. However, its effectiveness as a dietary supplement is limited if it is not taken with other essential nutrients.
We therefore recommend that you rely on Joints & Bones from Bellfor, which provides your dog with glucosamine, among other things.
