Glucosamine Supplement

Picked up the glucosamine supplement for Eli, will start him on it today for the next month ( minimum two weeks). He will more than likely need it for longer as it takes about a month to show signs of improvement.

1-2 scoops a day.

This should help his joints. From what I understand humans and animals produce glucosamine on their own, but if there is an old injury present or any kind of inflammation (stocked up from the cold and minimal movement due to snow and ice) can cause the fluid needed to assure smooth movements in the joints, to breakdown and it's not produced fast enough to replace what been lost.

Not only should this supplement help reduce stiffness and cracking, but it should help alleviate any pain associated with the joints and help to prevent arthritis
