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. |

COST OF ARTHRIX-PLUS is $49.95 per 90-tablet bottle
Dear Sir or
Madam: My Italian Greyhound, Moose, is about 14 years
old. For the past 3 years he has had his (condition)
get worse. Our vet recommended giving him a
supplement. After researching online, I had considered
and tried many supplements. With all of them, he was a
little better, but still had obvious discomfort and movement
problems. I vowed to find something to help him. Two
months ago, while searching the Internet again, I came
across your website. I ordered Arthrix Plus, thinking
that it would be another product that would not work as
advertised. Well, Moose just started his second
bottle. After a couple of weeks on the initial bottle,
he regained his ability to jump up on our bed. Just
yesterday, I took him on a short walk and he WANTED TO
RUN! Needless to say, Arthrix Plus has added quality
to his life. Thank you for Arthrix Plus. I am now
recommending it to all my friends with elderly pets.
Sincerely, Phil Franchini, Mystic, CT
Dear Sales Dept. Thank you so much! Nikki,
my 15 year old German Shepherd has benefited so much from
taking Arthrix Plus. I ran out of it a couple days ago. So
this evening I ordered another larger bottle of Arthrix Plus
through your web site. I just want to report that the
short term results of giving Arthrix Plus to my dog have
been remarkable positive. Even though the product literature
claimed improvement within 2 weeks, I noticed effect within
4 days. Andrea Bishop, Oakland, CA
This is a little outdated from last Xmas, but
here are the "kids". I think Arthrix Plus has
helped Nimkee (the furrier sister of Makoos) a lot. She's
the 'old' vital Nimkee again and I am dearly looking forward
to our next batch. Thanks everyone at KALA! Teresa Lynn Woo,
Singapore.
