Joint Tonic

RECOACTIV® Joint Tonicum was specially developed to regulate joint metabolism in osteoarthritis and maintain your dog's mobility.

Special supplementary food for joint metabolism

RECOACTIV® Joint Tonicum is specifically designed to regulate joint metabolism in osteoarthritis (painful, inflammatory, and degenerative processes in the joints) and to maintain joint mobility.

Targeted support for joint problems

It is particularly well suited for animals with mobility restrictions due to osteoarthritis, for animals with cartilage wear due to age, injuries, or misalignments, as well as for high stress and for prophylaxis.

High-quality nutrient supply for healthy joints

RECOACTIV® Joint Tonicum prevents nutritionally induced deficiencies and specifically supports the supply of joints with necessary nutrients such as chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine (glycosaminoglycans), green-lipped mussel extract, and omega-3 fatty acids. The glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine are important cartilage building blocks needed for water retention and elasticity. Additionally, MSM, devil's claw, and willow bark are included as supporting ingredients. The tonic is very well tolerated long-term and is optimally absorbed due to its liquid form.

What is osteoarthritis/arthritis in dogs?

Osteoarthritis, or simply arthritis, is a degenerative wear and tear of the joint, cartilage, and bone. The causes can be of various kinds, ranging from mechanical wear due to congenital malformations and excessive strain to infections caused, for example, by germs, bites, or ticks. It is not uncommon for osteoarthritis and arthritis to condition and mutually reinforce each other in a negative way. As a result of damage to the cartilage, the so-called shock absorber, inflamed joints (acute arthritis) cause pain when standing up and lying down, and with advancing symptoms, also during general movement. The affected animal adopts a protective posture to avoid pain or eventually avoids movement in general, and the joy of playing decreases.

The importance of exercise in osteoarthritis

Stiffness after periods of rest and loss of joint elasticity (hardening of the joint capsule) are accompanied, reducing the animal's quality of life. Due to lack of movement, muscle mass is lost, the joints are less protected, and with higher weight, they are additionally subjected to greater stress. The process of acute and chronic degradation in the affected joints continues. It is therefore of utmost importance to maintain moderate movement, as this promotes blood circulation and thus activates and enables the necessary nutrient supply to the joints via the synovia ("joint fluid"). The negative interaction of avoiding movement due to pain and intensifying symptoms due to lack of movement must therefore be broken.

How can arthritis in dogs be treated?

In the short term, pain reduction can be achieved by using pain-relieving preparations, which, however, strain the stomach, liver, and kidneys in the long run. Inflammation should also be treated, as further loss of cartilage and bone substance is threatened here. In this regard, natural active ingredients that are pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory can be used supportively and long-term to reduce medication, or, depending on the symptoms, to completely discontinue it, thereby promoting the animal's health and quality of life. Moderate exercise and especially the high-dose supplementation of ingredients important for joint metabolism, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, green-lipped mussel, chondroitin, devil's claw, and MSM, can significantly support the supply to the joints and thus their health.
