WHAT OTHERS WROTE US

Mike & Lisa Persson, Escondido, CA
When our black German Shepherd stopped running and being playful, I went online to research. We tried everything, glucosamine, vitamin C, you name it. Nothing worked. By coincidence, I found Arthrix. Today, Nellie is three years old. She will outrun and outlast any dog on the planet. When we get home from being at dog’s beach in Del Mar, California, for 8 hours, she picks up her toggle rope and wants to play.  She is happy, healthy and she will live until she dies of natural causes.

Our little dog, Buster, recently died. He would have been 17 years old in June. He had just turned 15 when we first learned about Arthrix and ordered it for her. His quality of life was so much better after he began taking it.  Thank you for such a great product and your prompt and courteous service.  We loved Buster with all our hearts and we miss him so much.  I do not believe he would have lived as long as he did if it hadn't been for Arthrix, and it made his life so much better.  Thank you for everything.

Arthrix has changed my cat's life. Back in March, we were contemplating putting our 12 year old cat, Abby, to sleep. Our vet said there was nothing they could really do for her. I came across your site and ordered some Arthrix. One last resort. My husband and I agreed that we would give the Arthrix two months and if there was little or no improvement, we would have to put her to sleep. Well... within 4-5 weeks, I saw major improvement. She was able to get to her litter box and go without it ending up all over her. She has now been on Arthrix about 2 1/2 - 3 months, and she's like her old self again. She's even playful and I occasionally find her running around and playing. Thank you again, for such an incredible product. You have given me added time with my precious Abby.

WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT...


Quality of our MSM

Quality of our Glucosamine

Quality of our Chondroitin.

CLICK HERE for two recent clinical studies with MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin.

CLICK HERE for side effects of glucosamine.
 

MSM

MSM donates methyl groups and sulfur to the body. Methtyl groups form the building blocks of all organic molecules in the body. The body continuously breaks dow and builds up body tissue and body cells. Millions of times per second methyl groups are used in the body for the construction of molecules. This process is called 'methylation'.

Methylation is needed for the formation of new DNA and new cells. Methylation is also a key step in the detoxification processes in the liver.

MSM also donates sulfur, necessary for healthy cartilage and liver detoxification processes. With increasing age the supply of sulfur in the body may decreases: One equine study has shown, arthritic cartilage may contain only one-third of the sulfur concentration of healthy cartilage. 

MSM is often considered the safest donor of methyl groups and sulfur, as it leaves no toxic rest molecule behind. 

GLUCOSAMINE

Glucosamine, an amino sugar, promotes the formation and repair of cartilage. 

Glucosamine is an important building block of many GAGs  (glycosaminoglycans), which are molecules that form the matrix of cartilage. It is derived from chitin, a substance which gives strength to the exoskeleton of crabs, lobsters, insects and spiders.

KALA Health's formula uses the glucosamine sulfate form  as most research has been done with this type of glucosamine. It is a very safe and easily assimilated glucosamine molecule. Three tablets twice daily supplies 1,500-mg glucosamine sulfate, the daily dosage that has been proven in studies to be effective. 

CHONDROITIN

The cartilage in the joints act as a spongy ‘shock absorber’. For this it needs special substances to attract fluid. Chondroitin, another natural substance made in the body, attracts fluid into the cartilage like a liquid magnet. Without this fluid, cartilage would become malnourished, thinner and more fragile. In this way Chondroitin supports healthy cartilage and also stimulates the synthesis of new cartilage, important for healthy joints. 

Chondroitin works best when the molecules are small and easily taken up by the body. Cheaper forms of chondroitin are a waste of money as they are passed through the body without benefit. KALA Health's chondroitin is guaranteed to contain in excess of 90% active ingredient, and has a small molecular size (<25,000 Daltons) that allows it to be easily assimilated.

Three tablets twice daily provide 1,200 mg of chondroitin that is the recommended amount for optimal results. This dosage is also considered safe.

MANGANESE

Manganese is an essential mineral found in large quantities in both plant and animal matter. Only trace amounts of this element can be found in human tissue, however. Manganese supports many enzyme controlled reactions, and plays an essential role in the formation of GAGs (see above). It aids in the formation of connective tissue and bones. 

A few studies of people suggest that the combination of manganese supplementation taken along with glucosamine and chondroitin can contribute to healthy joints.
