STRIDE Powder 150g

Stride PLUS helps joint pain and muscle heal and repair.

The joint is where two or more bones meet. Each bone end is protected

with a layer of cartilage; the entire joint is enclosed in the synovial capsule

which is filled with synovial fluid. Bones provide a frame to support the

body and protect the organs, muscles and blood vessels.

The Cartilage Matrix

The cartilage matrix is composed of collagen fibres and chondrocytes.

Chondrocytes produce and maintain proteoglycans which are made up of

proteins and Glycosaminoglycan (GAG chains).

HYALURONIC ACID

Impaired function of skeletal joints can dramatically reduce joint flexion,

movement and mobility. This seriously decreases a dogs life quality

with affected animals exhibiting decreased activity levels, stiffness and

inability to partake in walks or play.

Predisposing factors can be:

• Congenital

Certain breeds may also have a genetic predisposition towards

skeletal joint diseases. Surveys have found 9.4% of Retrievers

were affected by Hip Dysplasia (FCRSA Health Survey) while the cumulative

hazard rate for cCHD in Boxers from 7 weeks to 8 years of age is

8.5% (Van Hagen et al.)

• Developmental (Osteochondrosis and Hip Dysplasia)

Developmental problems will typically occur during periods of

rapid growth between 3 and 9 months of age.

• Traumatic (fractures and dislocations).
