Although mobility issues disproportionately affect older patients, their onset typically begins at an early age in dogs \u2013 the result of wear and tear on joints.<\/p>\n<p>Because this type of discomfort is nonadaptive, it tends to grow worse out of proportion with the initial insult, becoming a downward, maladaptive spiral.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to combat this is to get in front of it with early intervention and lifelong support. A forward-thinking joint supplement like Synovi G4<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> from Elanco can help as part of your long-term management strategy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-soft\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#003d45;border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#007078;color:#ffffff;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">Synovi G4<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Active Ingredients<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Helps ease occasional joint stiffness due to normal daily exercise and activity<\/li>\n<li>Protect against free radical damage, especially in joints<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Each 7.2 gram soft chew contains:<\/strong><br \/>\nGlucosamine HCl (shellfish) 450 mg<br \/>\nMethylsulfonylmethane (MSM) 400 mg<br \/>\nCreatine Monohydrate 250 mg<br \/>\nBoswellia serrata Extract (containing 65% Boswellic Acids) 150 mg<br \/>\nPerna canaliculus (Green-Lipped Mussel) 150 mg<br \/>\nProprietary blend of Dicalcium Phosphate, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Manganese Sulfate, Grape Seed Extract, Zinc Sulfate and Alpha Lipoic Acid 148 mg<br \/>\nCurcuma longa (Turmeric) 50 mg<br \/>\nSelenium (as L-Selenomethionine) 10 mcg<br \/>\nD-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) 25 IU<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Veterinarian-formulated pet supplements.<\/h3>\n<p>Increasingly, evidence-based data justifies a potent role for supplements as part of a multi-modal approach with the focus on supporting healthy joint cartilage throughout a pet\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Articular cartilage is composed of three main components:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extracellular matrix (ECM)<\/strong> \u2013 made up of collagen fibers and proteoglycans (PG), which<br \/>\nserve to trap water<br \/>\n<strong>Chondrocytes<\/strong> \u2013 function to synthesize the components of the ECM and also produce the<br \/>\nenzymes that regulate cartilage anabolism<br \/>\n<strong>Water<\/strong> \u2013 makes up 70% of cartilage and gives it unique shock-absorbing biomechanical<br \/>\nproperties<\/p>\n<p>In a normal joint, there is a balance between the synthetic and degradative activity aided by various cytokines and growth factors. When catabolic processes outweigh anabolic, marked by increases in degradative enzymes and proinflammatory cytokines, this leads to reduced PG concentration and reduced ability of the ECM to retain water.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy synovial fluid, viscous solution found in the cavities of synovial joints, also plays a key role in joint health by reducing friction between the articular cartilage during movement.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, maintaining healthy joint cartilage and synovial fluid is key.<\/p>\n<h3>Backed by science.<\/h3>\n<p>While supplements, particularly glucosamine and chondroitin-based products, have long been recommended, growing scientific evidence is now substantiating the myriad anecdotal claims of efficacy showing that the presence of certain compounds in the joint prior to or at the time of joint insult can help support healthy articular cartilage.<\/p>\n<h3>Beyond the basics.<\/h3>\n<p>For joint support that goes beyond just glucosamine and chondroitin, Synovi G4<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> helps support joint function and flexibility, healthy cartilage, connective tissue and synovial fluid. This tried-and-true formulation is based on the veterinary favorite Synovi G3<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> formula base, which includes glucosamine, green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) and omega-3 fatty acids. With the addition of Curcuma longa and Boswellia serrata for additional mobility and antioxidant support, Synovi<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> G4 is powerful support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/p>\n<p>Glucosamine + <em>Boswellia<\/em> for joint support and normal inflammatory response<\/p>\n<p>MSM + Turmeric for free radical scavenging and antioxidant support<\/p>\n<p>Green-Lipped Mussel (a natural source of chondroitin) provides the building blocks for healthy joints<\/p>\n<p>Creatine Monohydrate for muscle tone and contraction support<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22990\" src=\"http:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/AdobeStock_166920207.jpeg\" alt=\"green lipped mussel pets\" width=\"407\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/AdobeStock_166920207.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/AdobeStock_166920207-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/AdobeStock_166920207-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/AdobeStock_166920207-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000\">Why Green-Lipped Mussel?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Green-lipped mussels contain the same powerful Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\">commonly found in fish oil.
