Hi Friend,
Millions of dogs and cats in the North America suffer from arthritis, a condition that causes painful and swollen joints.
In the past, conventional wisdom was that what your pet eats had not effect on the arthritis, NEW research is suggesting the opposite.
It now appears that a diet rich in antioxidants may play a role in management of the pain and inflammation of arthritis.
My Supplements, Ultimate Canine and Ultimate Feline contain a number of antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Selenium and Zinc
These alone can be beneficial for helping arthritis naturally.

------------------------------------- Antioxidants as Chondroprotectors -------------------------------------
One recent theory of osteoarthritis causation is based on free radical formation in joints as the trigger for disease progression.
Local ischemia in cartilage (already a hypoxic tissue) induced by chronic joint loading, abnormal joint forces, poor circulation, overexercise, trauma, auto-immune attack and even excess iron elevates levels of free radicals in joints.
Free radicals directly attack and degrade cartilage components, triggering a synovial and immune response that promotes further cartilage damage. Because of the slow metabolism of chondrocytes, both injury and repair take months or years to become fully evident. This free radical mechanism of arthritis indicates quite logically that antioxidants may prevent or reverse formation of arthritic symptoms.
-------------------------- Vitamin C --------------------------
At Tufts University in Boston, guinea pigs were fed a normal or high intake of vitamin C before, during and after surgery to induce knee osteoarthritis. The guinea pigs fed a standard RDA amount of vitamin C (2.4 mg daily) developed osteoarthritis, but the guinea pigs fed 150 mg of vitamin C daily developed only very minor changes. This in vivo work is supported by in vitro studies that showed vitamin C is chondroprotective by stimulating anabolism in cartilage cultures, and by inhibiting degradative enzymes in cartilage.
----------------------- Vitamin E -----------------------
Researchers in Israel gave 32 subjects with osteoarthritis 600 mg daily of vitamine E (d-alpha tocopherol acetate) for only 10 days. Even with this very short experimental period, significant improvements in functional assessment, pain and analgesic use were seen with vitamin E, but not with a placebo.
Heal Your Pet At Home!

P.S. Just because there are 'antioxidants' in the bottle doesn't mean they will be helpful.
They need to be in the right form to be absorbed, and the high enough dose to be effective.
