Joint Force Gluco

CdG Joint Force Gluco - herbal glucosamine & chondroitin sulphate for horses and dogs

Developed for horses and dogs, Chia de Gracia's Joint Force Gluco is a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate, containing glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and a pinch of love 🧡

When fed with the right nutrients

Joint Force Gluco stands out with its 100% plant-based glucosamine, produced by fermentation technology without the use of seafood ingredients.

The product introduces structural elements related to the composition of joint tissue into daily feeding.

Herbal glucosamine offers a modern and ecological alternative to traditional seafood-based glucosamine and is suitable for situations where the origin of raw materials needs to be taken into account.

Glucosamine & chondroitin sulphate - what is it?

Glucosamine is naturally present in cartilage tissue, tendons and ligaments where it is part of the normal structure of connective tissue.

Chondroitin sulphate is one of the main structural components of cartilage tissue and is found in the connective tissue of all vertebrates.

The levels of these compounds in the body can change with age, which is one of the reasons why the whole feeding system is often considered at different stages of life and under different stress situations.

Glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate have been studied in both horses and dogs in a number of contexts, including their absorption and use as part of the diet.

Herbal choice

The glucosamine used by CdG is 100% plant derived and produced by fermentation.

The plant-based option offers a modern and ecological way to incorporate glucosamine into feed - without the use of crustacean-based raw materials.

Everyday use

Joint Force Gluco fits into a varied diet:

• for actively moving horses and dogs
• Active dogs and horses that are active and active under varying loads
• at different stages of life, when the overall feeding pattern is to be considered

CdG's 100% plant-based and vegan glucosamine is an environmentally friendly and sustainable glucosamine formulation that has a significantly lower environmental impact than its seafood counterpart. The traditional method of producing glucosamine from crustaceans requires a large amount of chemicals, which in turn generates huge amounts of toxic waste water. The production of glucosamine from plants generates only 2% of the waste water compared to the amount of waste water generated by the product made from crustaceans.

Note! Not suitable for people allergic to corn, glucosamine is corn-based.
