Description/ Action:  

Synoquine EFA Tablets and Capsules contains chondroitin, glucosamine and a unique Dexahan. It is a tried and tested formula of joint support recommended by vets in at least 30 countries.

High quality glucosamine and chondroitin are recognised as key ingredients in the fight against joint degeneration.

SYNOQUIN is a clinically proven product: “Clinical signs of osteoarthritis in pets improved significantly after 70 days of treatment”. The results of trial show that pets with osteoarthritis had significant improvements in scores for pain, weight bearing and overall clinical condition.

Purified form of Krill – the purest and most bioactive source of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) available today

Because of its unique phospholipid structure, DEXAHAN provides Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in a form that is 60% more bioavailable than standard fish oils1. It also contains the powerful antioxidant Astaxanthin.

EPA and DHA have been shown to decrease inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and increase levels of anti-inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E3 (PGE3) and leukotriene B5 (LTB5).

Omega 3 Fatty Acids reduce gene expression of the COX-2 enzyme without affecting COX-1 and reduce gene expression for cartilage degrading proteinases such as aggrecanases and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), thereby exerting a positive effect on cartilage and its metabolism.

The combination of glucosamine, EPA and DHA has been shown to have a better effect on osteoarthritic pain than just glucosamine alone.

DEXAHAN contains ten times the amount of Astaxanthin found in regular fish oil1, plus the Astaxanthin in DEXAHAN has greater bioavailability because it is esterified, thus enabling its incorporation into the micelles formed by the Omega 3 phospholipids, necessary for absorption.

There is a proven link between oxidative stress and the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Astaxanthin is the most powerful antioxidant in the carotenoid family and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, to relieve joint pain in arthritis and to have anti-MMP activity.
