What is PhyCox Used For?
How Can Phycox Help My Pet?
More often than not, at some point in their life, dogs and horses develop joint problems. This problem can be caused by an injury or simple wear and tear over a lifetime of exercise. Most animals could stand to benefit from taking supplements, but there are a wide variety of formulations and brands available. PhyCox is one such brand- but what is it exactly that sets PhyCox apart from other joint supplements?
PhyCox is unique in that it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces pain while providing joint maintenance or joint recovery. Phycox contains an extract of blue-green algae that serves as its namesake ingredient. The extract, phycocyanin, works as both a Cyclooxigenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor and as an antioxidant. These roles allow phycocyanin to both reduce any inflammation and pain caused by joint deterioration and to reduce the actual corrosion of your furry friend’s joints.
Maintenance
PhyCox contains the popular joint care ingredient glucosamine to promote healthy joints. Glucosamine works to heal joints and improve joint function; it is one of the two components of the cartilage that make up joints. By providing one of the essential ingredients of joints, PhyCox allows for a more rapid reconstruction of the joints that are regularly broken down and repaired during daily activities.
Additionally, PhyCox contains a variety of minerals and vitamins that promote skeletal health. This can be essential in animals with osteoarthritis, as bones with deteriorating joints have less cushioning to protect them.
Pain Relief
Inflammation occurs when the body attempts to protect itself by removing harmful stimuli. However, in cases of severe joint deterioration and joint pain, inflammation can become excessive as the inflammation causes irritation that elicits further inflammation. This cycle can prove to be more harmful than beneficial.
By inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, PhyCox works to slow the production of eicosanoids, which are the direct stimulants for inflammation. This means that joints will deteriorate less rapidly because they will have protection from the body’s continued attempts to eliminate a chronic problem.
Joint Repair:
PhyCox works not only to relieve and maintain joints, but also to improve joint mobility and repair joints as best as possible. Currently, there is no cure to the condition known as osteoarthritis, though the disease can be slowed down. This is capable by providing building glucosamine to rebuild joints, antioxidants to prevent further deterioration, and nutrients that prevent the cartilage destruction caused by inflammation.
In PhyCox, a proprietary blend of antioxidants, minerals, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and vitamins work together to repair joints and slow osteoarthritis as much as possible.
