Not only does this fantastic, 100% natural, herbal supplement help to support the bones and joints, but it can also help to reduce tear staining. Let's explore the individual ingredients:

• Glucosamine - this occurs naturally within the cartilage and connective tissues. However, the body can't always synthesise enough to keep up with your dog's requirement, particularly for ageing dogs. Glucosamine helps to maintain strength, flexibility and mobility in the joints and can help to ease pain related to arthritis or dysplasia.

• Meadowsweet - an anti-inflammatory that helps to ease pain in the joints. Meadowsweet contains salicylates, which have a similar effect to aspirin.

• Devils Claw Root - an anti-inflammatory root taken from an African plant that promotes bone and joint health, whilst easing muscle stiffness.

• Yarrow - often referred to as a 'blood cleanser', yarrow helps to strengthen blood vessels, increase circulation, reduce inflammation and soothe the digestive tract.

• Boswellia - derived from the resin of the Boswellia Serrata tree, this natural supplement brings a mixture of benefits, including anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Along with protecting the joints and bones, Boswellia can help to ease digestive irritation whilst also promoting skin and coat health.

• Turmeric - Curcumin, the active ingredient in this Asian plant root, is a powerhouse in the herbal world. Not only does it aid the joints with its anti-inflammatory properties, but it can also aid the digestive system by stimulating the liver which helps to break down fats during digestion. Turmeric can help to stabilise blood sugar levels, help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, thereby boosting heart health.

• MSM - this organic compound acts as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, whilst helping to increase the absorption of nutrients. The antioxidant properties of MSM neutralises and flushes out toxins from the cells, which helps to reduce excess porphyrin production, thereby reducing tear staining.

• Ginger Root - the bioactive compound, Gingerol, found in Ginger Root, helps to relieve inflammation and joint pain, and can also help to reduce digestive gas and bloating. By promoting circulation, this supports the healthy tear production and drainage, thus reducing the risk of blockages and staining.
