Dietary supplement for dogs to support the joint metabolism in osteoarthritis
Vital components
Freeze-dried green-lipped New Zealand mussels
(Supplement: 15% pure mussel powder)
The green-lipped mussel Perna canaliculus contains a natural active complex of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), special omega-3 fatty acids (1), amino acids (2), trace elements (3) and natural antioxidants. In scientific studies on dogs, positive effects on arthritis symptoms were documented at a dosage of 0.45 g/10 kg body weight (Bierer & Bui, 2002).
AGIL-Tabs contain 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 overall active complex in the green-lipped mussel is responsible for them.

Vitamin C
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.
Vitamin E
(supplement: 5,000 I.U./kg) is crucial to the protection of the unsaturated fatty acids (omega-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. 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.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Total content of omega-3 fatty acids: 3.3%; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): 0.2%; docohexaenoic acid (DHA): 3.0%. 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.
High-quality sources of animal protein
BELCANDO® dry food is distinguished by the high proportion of premium animal proteins. They support protein metabolism, the optimal functioning of which is extremely important for your dog’s health and in his old age. All protein sources come from animals deemed fit for human consumption.
