Nutritional supplements for joint problems for cats

The large joints‘ (hip, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and knee) perfect functioning has a significant influence on our four-legged housemates‘ mobility - not only with respect to their agility but also in terms of basic functions like getting up from sitting posture or climbing stairs. Even though this is true for pets of just any age it becomes increasingly important not only with rather old or big domestic animals. The articular cartilage plays an important role when it comes to perfectly functioning joints. If the nutrient components required for the synthesis of collagen and proteoglycans are not available in sufficient amounts the synthesis might be impaired and the cartilage might forfeit its self-renewal properties.
