What
is Cosequin for Cats?
Cosequin plays an
important role in maintaining optimal joint function. Healthy articular
(joint) cartilage is crucial to joint utility. Cosequin helps support
cartilage production and protect existing cartilage from breakdown.
Cosequin is the only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement that
has been shown safe, effective, and bioavailable in peer-reviewed,
published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies. Cosequin is
manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the
pharmaceutical industry.
There are not many joint
support options available specifically for cats. There are some
products used in dogs that are not as safe in cats. Cosequin has been
shown to be safe in cats. Cosequin, a nutritional supplement, safely
and effectively provides joint cartilage support while maintaining your
cat’s comfort level.
Some
veterinarians also recommend Cosequin to help support urinary bladder
health. The inner lining of the bladder wall is protected by a layer,
which contains some of the same compounds as are found in cartilage.
This layer prevents urine and the waste products contained within it
from seeping into and damaging the lining. Since the low molecular
weight chondroitin sulfate found in Cosequin is available to more than
just cartilage cells, the bladder may use it to help support this
protective layer.
Cosequin
for Cats contains natural chicken and tuna flavored capsules specially
formulated for cats.
