Why branded ingredients?

It is our policy to use as much as possible branded ingredients of pharmaceutical quality. We purchase these ingredients directly from the producer, never via (intermediate) whole salers. The 'brand' guarantees that we (and you) know exactly who the producer is of our ingredients. It goes without saying we have on file the Certificates of Analysis of all ingredients we purchase. We will be happy to share these with you, should you want to see them.

MSM

MSM donates methyl groups and sulfur to the body. Methtyl groups form the building blocks of all organic molecules in the body. The body continuously breaks dow and builds up body tissue and body cells. Millions of times per second methyl groups are used in the body for the construction of molecules. This process is called 'methylation'.

Methylation is needed for the formation of new DNA and new cells. Methylation is also a key step in the detoxification processes in the liver.

MSM also donates sulfur, necessary for healthy cartilage and liver detoxification processes. With increasing age the supply of sulfur in the body may decreases: One equine study has shown, arthritic cartilage may contain only one-third of the sulfur concentration of healthy cartilage. 

MSM is often considered the safest donor of methyl groups and sulfur, as it leaves no toxic rest molecule behind. 

GLUCOSAMINE

Glucosamine, an amino sugar, promotes the formation and repair of cartilage. 

Glucosamine is an important building block of many GAGs  (glycosaminoglycans), which are molecules that form the matrix of cartilage. Most glucosamine is poroduced in China and is derived from chitin, a substance which gives strength to the exoskeleton of crabs, lobsters, insects and spiders.

KALA Health's formula uses the US made Regenasure® glucosamine, the first 100% vegetarian  glucosamine  in the world. We only use the HCl form as this form contains most elementary glucosamine. It is a very safe and easily assimilated glucosamine molecule. Three tablets twice daily supplies 1,500-mg glucosamine sulfate, the daily dosage that has been proven in studies to be effective. 

CHONDROITIN

The cartilage in the joints act as a spongy ‘shock absorber’. For this it needs special substances to attract fluid. Chondroitin, another natural substance made in the body, attracts fluid into the cartilage like a liquid magnet. Without this fluid, cartilage would become malnourished, thinner and more fragile. In this way Chondroitin supports healthy cartilage and also stimulates the synthesis of new cartilage, important for healthy joints. 

Chondroitin works best when the molecules are small and easily taken up by the body. Cheaper forms of chondroitin are a waste of money as they are passed through the body without benefit. KALA Health's chondroitin is guaranteed to contain in excess of 90% active ingredient, and has a small molecular size (<25,000 Daltons) that allows it to be easily assimilated.

Three tablets twice daily provide 1,200 mg of chondroitin that is the recommended amount for optimal results. This dosage is also considered safe.

ARTHRIX® for Dogs contains a higher concentration of ingredients than our regular strength Arthrix, as well as additional ingredients to provide even greater benefits for your aging dog.  These pharm grade, branded ingredients include: 

 

TABLET COMPOSITION

Methyl sulfonyl methane (OptiMSM®) 500 mg
Glucosamine HCl (Regenasure®) 500 mg (vegetarian source)
Fatty acid esters (CM Complex) 200 mg                                (20% Cetyl Myristoleate)
Chondroitin Sulfate (ChondroPure®) 125 mg 
Vitamin C (Ester-C®) 120 mg
Minerals and trace elements (OmniMin®)   25 mg 



  OptiMSM
® is the purest (99,9% pure) form of MSM available, produced by Bergstrom Nutrition in the USA and purified through multiple distillation. MSM is the natural and biological most active metabolite of DMSO. MSM is a donor of methyl groups and sulfur.

•  Regenasure
® glucosamine is a highly concentrated glucosamine of vegetarian source, produced by Cargill inthe USA. Regenasure® glucosamine is derived from corn, using an unique fermentation process. It is >98% pure, and no risk of allergic reactions! The HCl-form contains 83% elementary glucosamine (the sulfate form only contains only 59% !) and is the most concentrated form of glucosamine:


  CM Complexis an exclusive and patented mixture of long chain cetyl fatty acids esters, derived from beef tallow. It contains 20% Cetyl Myristoleate (20%), and several other fatty acid esters such as Cetyl Palmitate, Cetyl Laurate, Cetyl Palmitoleate and  Cetyl Oleate). This natural ingredients stimulates lubrication of the joints.

  ChondroPure
®  is chondroïtin sulfate of pharmaceutical quality, produced in the USA using bovine trachea. ChondroPure® chondroitin sulphate is guaranteed >90% pure (according to enzymatic HPLC) and of low molecular size (90% of the molecules are <10.000 Daltons), which ensures optimal uptake by the body.

 
Ester-C® is a patented, pH-neutral form of vitaminc C containing threonic acid, a natural metabolite of ascorbic acid. Research shows Ester-C® is absorbed into the blood stream twice as fast, produces twice as high serum ascorbate levels and remains twice as long the body compared to 'ordinary' vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This illustrates Ester-C® is far more effective than 'ordinary' vitamin C. Ester-C® has been shown to significantly support the joints

  OmniMin®  is a natural concentrate of more than 70 minerals and trace elements, derived from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Verenigde Staten. All minerals are in natural, ionic form which is the most effective form for the body. Minerals and trace elements are important co-factors for many enzymatic processes, and usually become deficient before any other food ingredient. OmniMin® is low on sodium and supports general health, immune function and performance.
 

ARTHRIX-Plus is chewable and has a strong taste appeal!

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM ARTHRIX?  While our regular strength ARTHRIX is the ideal supplement for the long-term joint maintenance of dogs or cats of any age, ARTHRIX Plus for Dogs was specifically designed as a veterinary product to support the joints of older dogs.

Dear Sir or Madam: My Italian Greyhound, Moose, is about 14 years old.  For the past 3 years he has had his (condition) get worse.  Our vet recommended giving him a supplement.  After researching online, I had considered and tried many supplements. With all of them, he was a little better, but still had obvious discomfort and movement problems. I vowed to find something to help him.  Two months ago, while searching the Internet again, I came across your website.  I ordered Arthrix Plus, thinking that it would be another product that would not work as advertised.  Well, Moose just started his second bottle.  After a couple of weeks on the initial bottle, he regained his ability to jump up on our bed.  Just yesterday, I took him on a short walk and he WANTED TO RUN!  Needless to say, Arthrix Plus has added quality to his life. Thank you for Arthrix Plus.  I am now recommending it to all my friends with elderly pets. Sincerely, Phil Franchini, Mystic, CT

Dear Sales Dept.  Thank you so much! Nikki, my 15 year old German Shepherd has benefited so much from taking Arthrix Plus. I ran out of it a couple days ago. So this evening I ordered another larger bottle of Arthrix Plus through your web site.  I just want to report that the short term results of giving Arthrix Plus to my dog have been remarkable positive. Even though the product literature claimed improvement within 2 weeks, I noticed effect within 4 days. Andrea Bishop, Oakland, CA

This is a little outdated from last Xmas, but here are the "kids". I think Arthrix Plus has helped Nimkee (the furrier sister of Makoos) a lot. She's the 'old' vital Nimkee again and I am dearly looking forward to our next batch. Thanks everyone at KALA! Teresa Lynn Woo, Singapore.
