FORTAN Glycan for dogs and cats - For smooth functioning of the musculoskeletal system

In dogs, the connective tissue is the largest interconnected organ unit. Dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages need valuable nutrients for smooth functioning of the musculoskeletal system and joints.

Intact connective tissue = better performance

Performance and other factors depend on the intact condition of the connective tissue. The essential substance of connective tissue and cartilage mass consists of glycosaminoglycans.

These must be constantly replenished by the organism through the food chain. They give elasticity to the tissue and ensure the formation of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, intervertebral discs and synovial fluid.

Cartilage in particular consists of collagen fibres and a gel that is very similar to the substance of glycosaminoglycans. Therefore, the provision of these building blocks, which promote and stabilise connective tissue metabolism, is essential.

Mussel extract from New Zealand

FORTAN Glycan consists of 20 % mussel extract from the New Zealand farmed mussel (Perna canaliculus) with glycosaminoglycans, collagen hydrolysate as well as herbs and minerals.

These glycans are concentrated in the New Zealand mussel. They therefore provide an important basic ingredient in the production of FORTAN Glycan.

Especially recommended for young dogs of large breeds

The glycosaminoglycan requirement and consumption of such glycans is significantly increased, especially in young dogs of large breeds. The same applies to performance dogs and especially to older dogs, which lose their joy of movement with increasing age.

The mobility of the joints, the resilience of the connective and supporting tissue and the joy of movement are preserved for longer.
