CaniAgil® Tabs supplements your dog’s diet with nutrients from shellfish and plants known for their supportive effect on the function of connec-tive tissue, cartilage and joints:

Freeze-dried green-lipped New Zealand mussels. (Supple-ment: 15 % pure mussel powder) The green-lipped mussel Perna canaliculus contains a natural active complex of glycosaminoglu-cans (gAgs), special omega-3 fatty acids1, amino acids2, trace elements3 and natural antioxidants. In scientific studies on dogs, positive effects on arthritis symptoms were documented at a do-sage of 0.45 g/10 kg body weight (Bierer & Bui, 2002). CaniAgil® Tabs correspond to 0.6 g per 10 kg of the dog’s weight when fed according to the recommended dosage.

When Perna canaliculus is added to the diet, reductions in pain and stiffness can be observed. These positive effects cannot be attributed to a single, isolated substance; rather, the entire active complex in the green-lipped mussel is responsible for them.

Omega-3 fatty acids Total content of omega-3 fatty acids: 3.3 %; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): 1.3 %; docohexaenoic acid (DhA): 1.1 % The high level of additional omega-3 fatty acids effectively narrows the usual ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. This naturally reduces the inflammatory response of the body.

Vitamin E (supplement: 5,000 I.U./kg) (supplement: 5,000 I.U./kg) is crucial to the protection of the unsaturated fatty acids (ome-ga-3 fatty acids) and the cartilage cells from oxidation by free radicals. They form during inflammatory processes in the joint at levels significantly higher than usual. Furthermore, vitamin E is important for the preservation and stability of the membranes, particularly in skeletal muscles. It supports the development of the muscle tissue to stabilise the joints.

Vitamin C (supplement: 2,750 mg/kg) is crucial to the body’s own collagen production (synthesis). Under stressful conditions (e.g. joint pain), your dog’s body may not produce enough vitamin C. Supplementing his diet with vitamin C thus supports collagen formation and promotes joint and cartilage stability.

High-quality animal proteinssupport protein metabolism, the optimal function of which is extremely important for muscle and cartilage metabolism.

Use and dosage: giving the correct dosage of CaniAgil® Tabs is very easy. Simply feed 1 1/2 tablets per 10 kg of body weight over the course of the day as “treats”
