FOR LASTING ENJOYMENT OF MOVEMENT

Strain, age, obesity, or predisposition can gradually stress joints and connective tissue – often unnoticed for a long time, because dogs are good at hiding pain. Joint function can be specifically strengthened and preventatively supported. Many mixtures deliver a lot – but not the right thing: without a holistic approach and without well-founded active ingredient quantities.

This is where PAWSAN® Joint Active comes in:

Developed in collaboration with our team of experts and with active ingredient quantities that are 1:1 aligned with current studies, it provides essential nutrients for the musculoskeletal system – including building blocks that the body cannot produce itself or can only produce insufficiently.

ALL-ROUND PROTECTION FOR DOG JOINTS

The highly concentrated 13-in-1 formula holistically supports the entire joint complex – from cartilage and joint metabolism to ligaments, tendons and everyday mobility. This way, the musculoskeletal system can be supported long-term – whether for prevention, for active dogs or in case of increased strain.

FOR ACTIVE AND SENIOR DOGS

We recommend long-term administration of the specified daily dose for a period of at least 6 weeks (many ingredients only achieve their full effect after this time). To prevent the dog's body from becoming accustomed to the ingredients—which could diminish their effectiveness—we recommend a break of 2–4 weeks after 3 months of administration. Afterward, resume administration according to the schedule.

FOR HEALTHY, ACTIVE DOGS

We recommend administering it as a supportive 6- to 8-week restorative course, followed by a break of at least four weeks, as our product contains effective ingredients such as devil's claw and frankincense. For active dogs that enjoy plenty of movement, we recommend repeating this course three to four times a year.

SUITABLE FOR ALL DOGS

PAWSAN Joint Active is suitable for all dog breeds. Thanks to our highly concentrated active ingredient complex, even small amounts are sufficient to give your dog optimal support. Each of our tablets contains the perfectly balanced amount of active ingredients to support your dog's musculoskeletal system long-term. We completely avoid unnecessary release agents and additives such as magnesium stearate, dextrose, as well as cheap coating and filling agents.

As a technical additive, we have therefore chosen the pure natural product microcrystalline cellulose from sustainable forests (nano-free).

Recommended initial titration phase (5–7 days)

Gelenk Aktiv contains a high-dose combination of joint nutrients, plant extracts, and functional micronutrients that specifically support metabolic and adaptive processes within the musculoskeletal system. We recommend a gentle introduction period, especially for sensitive dogs or when administering the product for the first time.

Gradual introduction

Start with half the recommended daily amount for the first 4 days. From day 5 onwards, the regular dosage can be administered according to body weight (see feeding recommendations).

Note on compatibility

Gelenk Aktiv is designed for long-term use and is also suitable for sensitive dogs. Mild, temporary changes (such as softer stools or increased activity) at the start are not signs of intolerance, but rather reflect the body's natural adaptation to the active ingredients. Typically, this normalizes within a few days.

For very sensitive dogs, the daily amount can be split into two servings (e.g., morning and evening).

COMPOSITION

Each tablet contains:

362 mg

D-Glucosamin HCL

It is a fundamental building block of synovial fluid and the cartilage layer in joints, thereby helping to maintain synovial fluid levels and support joint lubrication. As dogs age, they often no longer produce sufficient glucosamine; our tablets can help compensate for this deficiency.

320 mg

Green-lipped mussel powder

Promotes overall joint mobility and strength. It naturally stabilizes supporting and connective tissue and is essential for the formation and maintenance of synovial fluid. Recent studies also show that supplementing with green-lipped mussel can have a positive effect on a dog's gait.

320 mg MSM

(Methylsulphonylmethan)

Methylsulfonylmethane—or MSM for short—is an organic sulfur compound. A sulfur deficiency can impair a dog's metabolic processes. Additionally, MSM supports the formation of joint cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

90 mg

Collagen hydrolysate (Type I+II)

It imparts elasticity to cartilage and supports the regeneration of bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Additionally, it ensures stability and tensile strength in articular cartilage. Type II, in particular, is a key component of the extracellular matrix in articular cartilage.

66,70 mg

Chondroitin sulfate (Weiderind)

It has a positive effect on the metabolism of joint cartilage. Since the dog's body cannot produce it on its own, it must be obtained through the diet or as a supplement. Chondroitin can also help support cartilage formation in dogs and increases the cartilage's water-binding capacity.

46,20 mg frankincense

granulated (Boswellia serrata)

Frankincense extract is derived from the resin of the *Boswellia serrata* tree and supports natural joint function, mobility, and a comfortable sensation of movement—especially for heavily used or stiff joints.

37,50 mg dried Schizochytrium limacinum algae

Algae oil is a purely plant-based alternative to fish and fish oils and an important source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA and EPA. It supports healthy joint function and the maintenance of mobility.

20 mg dried pineapple concentrate

Pineapple concentrate naturally contains bromelain, an all-round talent among enzymes. It acts as an important signaling molecule between immune cells.

17,65 mg hyaluronic acid

It is an essential component of synovial fluid and joint cartilage and aids in joint lubrication. It ensures smooth joint movement with minimal friction and wear, thereby supporting joints and cartilage subjected to stress. Hyaluronan is also necessary for smooth movement and protects cartilage against wear.

10 mg dried turmeric

and ginger powder

The active ingredient curcumin strengthens the entire joint system from within. Ginger supports joint function and ensures lasting enjoyment of movement.

9 mg devil's claw powder

is a medicinal plant native to South Africa and Namibia that promotes metabolism in joints, tendons, and ligaments.

Nutritional additives per kg:

19 g L-Glutamin

It is the most abundant protein amino acid in the muscles and supports healthy muscle tissue function as well as immune function. It also plays an important role in glucose production and serves as a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione.
