To complement our licensed medicines to treat arthritis, Garlic & Fenugreek tablets and Mixed Vegetable tablets, we recently introduced this popular joint supplement. We use top quality Glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL) because it is better absorbed by dogs and enhances the body's ability to manufacture collagen and proteoglycans. These are essential for rebuilding joints and increasing synovial fluid to lubricate the joints. We have chosen not to add lots of additional things into this formulation but to simply produce a top quality supplement with pharmaceutical grade Glucosamine and marine based Chondroitin sulphate. Healthy animals produce enough Glucosamine themselves to keep their cartilage healthy, but in older animals where wear and tear is starting to cause problems or following injury or damage they often require a little bit more to keep their joints healthy. Chondroitin has a number of functions but ultimately works synergistically with the glucosamine.
Ingredients: Glucosamine HCL 400mg; Chondroitin Sulphate 200mg (marine source).
It is what happens to our products before you buy them that is really important in maintaining the continued quality of the products. Our licensed manufacturing site has trained personnel at all levels and includes on-site laboratory testing facilities.
We are the only company that has total control on all the processes involved in formulation, manufacturing, testing, packaging, storage and distribution of veterinary herbal products in the UK.
Quality and microbiological checks, using scientific testing methods, are made on all raw materials before they are used to ensure that they meet the requirements of the British Herbal or the European Pharmacopœias, and to confirm that there is no pollution or contamination. Testing is continued throughout manufacture to ensure conformity and purity. To make sure the products maintain their strength and effectiveness throughout their shelf life, we undertake stability testing to ensure that no deterioration takes place and that every tablet retains its effectiveness throughout its shelf life.
Records are kept of any reports of side effects or adverse reactions to our products. These occur extremely rarely but if you have any particular concern about these issues or would like further information we will be pleased to supply it.
We inspect and audit suppliers from label manufacturers to raw material growers, to ensure that they meet our exacting quality standards. This enables us to assure you, the customer, and ourselves that any product with the Dorwest Herbs name is the quality you expect and so will be effective in use.
