What is Phycox?
Phycox® is a joint supplement to help reduce inflammation and discomfort due to normal daily activity. It is available as Phycox Soft Chews, Phycox HypoAllergenic Soft Chews, Phycox Small Bites for small dogs under 30 lbs, and Phycox Granules. Each formulation of Phycox contains a natural source of phycocyanin, an extract of blue-green algae offering joint support and stress relief. If your dog has allergies, use Phycox HA HypoAllergenic, which contains no mammalian protein (no natural liver flavor).
For:
Dogs
Benefits:
- Contains a unique blend of glucosamine, MSM, boron, and creatine monohydrate to support joint function and healthy bone structure
- Provides enhanced antioxidant protection and Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- Available as Soft Chews, HypoAllergenic Soft Chews, Small Bites for small dogs under 30 lbs, and Granules
- HypoAllergenic formulation does not contain mammalian protein (no natural liver flavor)
How does Phycox work?
Phycox helps to support joint mobility and bone structure. The highly concentrated source of phycocyanin works 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. Phycox and Phycox HA HypoAllergenic work the exact same way, with Phycox HA HypoAllergenic being suitable for dogs with allergies. Additional beneficial ingredients in Phycox include: Glucosamine, which helps support joint health by stimulating glycosaminoglycan production to help prevent cartilage deterioration; Boron, which increases bone strength; Creatine Monohydrate, an amino acid that may improve muscle strength and help with mobility; MSM to provide dietary sulfur to maintain healthy cellular membranes, muscles, and joints; and Omega-3 Fatty Acids to reduce inflammation by inhibiting enzymes that can break down cartilage.
Cautions:

Breed Mix
Effective
I noticed my 8 year old beagle/pointer mix girl was having trouble going up stairs. Doesn’t seem to be in pain but she climbs the stairs much more slowly than before. After a week or two of Phycox she is different...has a lot more pep in her step!

Breed mix
wouldn't eat them
My dog, who is not a picky eater, would not eat these as a treat. We've had to break them up into nearly microscopic pieces and sprinkle them on his food. Even with all that effort on our part, he hasn't had any improvement in his stiffness or pain.

Breed Lab
Great product!!!
We have older dogs that were struggling with hip problems. It's amazing to see the improvement in the dog's movement after several weeks of use. I now have started giving Phycox to my other dogs as well!

Breed Shiba Inu
REALLY WORKS, and FAST!
I have a 15.5 year old Shiba Inu. She slipped on the ice during this ridiculous winter and vet thinks she messed up either her shoulder or disc in back. Limps intermittently. I told him I had been giving her Glyco-Flex chews bought online and he gave me samples of this Phycox. Well, this dog has turned into a Crazy Puppy within a handful of days after giving her the new chews! My husband and mom have noticed too. The dog does not love the taste so I have to put it in her dinner food along with a little bit of people food, but the next morning there she is, zipping and bouncing through our daily 5:30am walks! I can hardly believe it! I will be ordering these online right now! Thanks, Phycox!

Breed Pomeranian
Incredible Product !!!
Our 7 month old pomeranian would run and play just fine, then out of nowhere would start limping, picking up his right rear leg. About 10 seconds later he would be fine again, back to running like a young pup should. The vet diagnosed him with floating kneecaps and recommended several joint supplements. Phycox was on the list and that is what we chose. Toby loves his small chews, he gets 1 a day and thinks of it like a treat. It has been 6 months now and Toby has not limped once since he has been getting his Phycox. Thanks Phycox, you gave a young dog the playful life he deserves!!

Breed One Corgi and one Heeler
Love this product
Phycox was recommended by my vet for my aging Lab's arthritis. He loved the flavor (although was never a picky eater) and the product helped him move much better. It was such an improvement that I recommended it to two sisters with aging arthritic dogs and they both had good results. I am now using it for my aging tripod Heeler and my two-year Corgi who has residual issues after an ACL tear and his vet suggested supplements for his stiffness, discomfort and impending arthritis. It is rather expensive, but I can see the difference if I do not give it to them.

Excellent
Great product, works very well on our small dog. Very expensive solution to the problem though. I have not eaten one therefore I cannot comment on taste.
