| Re: PhyCox...
Vets push products to get $$$ from it. I haven't heard of it but I have heard of MANY studies proving glucosamine does not work. I would just ignore your vet in this respect. Quote:
Phycox ® is a natural ingredient derived through a patented extraction process of wild blue-green algae grown in the United States. Blue-green algae are a rich source of phytonutrients including phycocyanin,
a biliprotein that has scientifically demonstrated health benefits.The Phycox® patented process produces a concentrated source of phycocyanin,offering strong joint support and relief of discomfort in two ways:
1. Proven Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) Inhibition – Recent in vitro and animal studies demonstrate the
high concentrations of phycocyanin found in Phycox® specifically inhibit the COX-2 enzyme,blocking
the synthesis of inflammatory eicosanoids,the natural mediators of inflammation in the body.
2. Dynamic Antioxidant Properties -- Phycocyanin is a powerful antioxidant that has significant and robust free radical scavenging properties. It can help enhance the body’s defense against the degradative effects of free radicals that cause cellular damage and play a role in a host of degenerative conditions in dogs.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 Fatty Acids help reduce inflammation by altering the production of inflammatory mediators and upport joint health by inhibiting enzymes involved in cartilage matrix destruction.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a natural botanical extract from the roots of the Curcuma longa plant with well-researched health benefits.Due to its ability to inhibit leukotriene biosynthesis and modify prostaglandin production,Turmeric has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
MSM provides dietary sulfur that aids in the efficient function of cellular membranes and supports healthy muscles and joints by reducing inflammation

In addition to relieving inflammation,the PhyCox-JS ormula offers a joint support matrix for healthy synovial maintenance as well as bone and muscle support.
Glucosamine HCl
A precursor for glycosaminoglycans (GAGs),essential building blocks of cartilage,glucosamine supports
joint health by stimulating GAG production in the extracellular matrix of cartilage.Glucosamine reduces
the activity of inflammatory mediators and damaging enzymes that can degrade cartilage.
Boron
Boron supplementation increases bone strength and may play a role in improving arthritis,plasma lipid
profiles and brain function. Studies show minerals associated with the bone organic matrix are increased
by boron supplementation.Boron interacts with nutrients such as calcium,magnesium and vitamin D,
and helps regulate the metabolism of minerals,improving overall bone metabolism.
Creatine Monohydrate
A vital amino acid found in skeletal muscle,creatine plays a role in muscular energy and may have value
in improving muscle strength,making pets feel more energetic.
Antioxidants
In addition to potent protection from oxidative damage offered by phycocyanin,turmeric and other key ingredients,the PhyCox-JS™formula also contains a special blend of natural antioxidants that inhibits the destructive activity of free radicals.
