Each formulation of Phycox® contains a natural source of phycocyanin, an extract of blue-green algae offering joint support and stress relief.

How it works:
The highly concentrated source of phycocyanin helps to support joint health and relieve joint stress by blocking the COX-2 enzyme to reduce inflammation. Phycocyanin also fights against free radicals to help strengthen your dog's immune system and protect against cellular damage which can also play a role in degenerative conditions. Both Phycox and Phycox HA work the exact same way, Phycox HA is suitable for dogs with allergies. Additional beneficial ingredients in Phycox® include:
Glucosamine - helps support joint health by stimulating glycosaminoglycan production which can help prevent cartilage deterioration
Boron - increases bone strength
Creatine Monohydrate - an amino acid that may improve muscle strength and help with mobility
MSM - provides dietary sulfur to maintain healthy cellular membranes, muscles, and joints
Omega-3 Fatty Acids - reduces inflammation by inhibiting
enzymes that can break down cartilage
Cautions:
Safe use in pregnant animals or animals intended for breeding has not been proven. If lameness worsens, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian. Administer during or after your dog has eaten to reduce incidence of gastrointestinal upset.
Directions:
•
Phycox products should be given with food or after eating to avoid gastrointestinal upset.
•
Do not give Phycox to cats.
Tip: Diabetic dogs should have their blood glucose monitored when taking glucosamine supplements.
