phycox-js20soft20chewsFor those of you who have dogs that are prone to or are experiencing the “pangs” of arthritis, a new joint support product is available Phycox-JS, made by IVX Animal Health (www.ivxanimalhealth.com) .

Phycox is a patented formula designed to help reduce joint inflammation and discomfort. A combination of cartilage support, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants make this product one of the most all-inclusive formulas for joint support out there. It also comes in the form of soft, chewable treats that most dogs enjoy.

Tha active ingredients in Phycox are the following: glucosamine, MSM, flaxseed oil, creatine, turmeric, Vitamins E & C, and phycocyanin. Phycocyanin is a pigment derived from blue-green algae that inhibits the COX-2 enzyme, helping to block the synthesis of inflammatory products. It also helps scavenge free radicals and decrease cellular damage.

Safety of Phycox in pregnant animals has not been established. If your dog has any medical conditions aside from arthritis, they should be discussed with the veterinarian prior to administering Phycox.

Samples may be available, and dosages will vary based on your dog’s body weight.
