The Unique Oatinol Delivery System

Oatinol is a natural high quality oil based concept developed by and unique to GWF Nutrition. When incorporated into the feed it supplies four active nutraceuticals to:
Maintain gut cell integrity.
Maintain the lining of the gut.
Support the immune system.
Aid the absorption of active ingredients, vitamins and trace elements.

Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and have been shown to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption.

Contains 22 Active Nutraceuticals.  Nutraceuticals are nutritional substances that provide additional health benefits.  Through the addition of the following nutraceuticals, Joint Aid provides a complementary support for all dogs.

1 - 5 Amino Acids (x5)
High levels of 5 particular dietary amino acids, essential for the production of muscle tissue.

6 - Chondroitin
Chondroitin is essential for the resilience of cartilage.  It maintains normal enzymatic activity and water holding capacity to provide healthy resistance to compression.

7 - Collagen Matrix
Collagen possesses great tensile strength and provides the framework that gives tissues their firmness and resilience.  It is essential for connecting and supporting the bones, tendons, muscles and cartilage.

8 - Curcumin
Curcumin is the active ingredient of the spice, turmeric.  It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium.

9 - Glucosamine
Glucosamine gives cartilage its structure and shock absorbing qualities. It is involved in the formation of cartilage, tendons, skin, bone and ligaments.

10 - Glutamic Acid
Glutamic Acid is a natural flavour enhancer and an important nutritional support for natural gut health during times of stress.

11 - Hemp Oil Derived Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Crucial for maintaining the natural anti-inflammatory action of the body.

12 - MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM is a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues.  It is also essential for the manufacture of collagen.

13 - Piperine Black Pepper Extract
Supports the retention in the metabolism of some active nutraceuticals e.g. curcumin.

14 - 16 - Trace Minerals (x3)
Provides selenium, manganese and magnesium to help maintain low levels of muscle reaction to work.

17 - Vitamin C
Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals.  It directly affects the level of tissue growth and development and the maintenance of the body's immune system.

18 - Vitamin E
A natural antioxidant and essential for the health of reproductive, muscular, circulatory and nervous systems and immune functions in the metabolism.

19 - Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers
Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.

20 - Natural Tocotrienol Antioxidants
Tocotrienol antioxidants are a natural form of vitamin E.  They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption.

21 - Oat Derived Beta Glucans
Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption.

22 - Phospholipids

Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and have been shown to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption.
