Four Leaf Rover Hip & Joint

Hip & Joint Is A Blend Of Natural Anti-Inflammatories Backed By Science.

This is great news for dogs with arthritis ... it's a natural way to improve pain and mobility without the unwanted side effects of prescription anti-inflammatories.

Hip & Joint is a good source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These include joint repairing chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, as well as collagen and anti-inflammatory fatty acids that can:

• Promote overall joint health
  
• Fight inflammation
  
• Protect joint cartilage
  
• Sports recovery
  
• Support senior dogs

Pure New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel (Perna Canaliculus)

Scientists are studying Green Lipped Mussel as a safe alternative for dogs that are unable to tolerate the side effects of NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

Both Green Lipped Mussels and NSAIDs are COX (cyclooxygenase) inhibitors. COX enzymes ramp up inflammation by triggering immune chemicals called prostaglandins.

Green Lipped Mussels are also rich in glycosaminoglycans (or GAGs), including chondroitin sulfate. Chondroitin strengthens and builds joint cartilage.

Green Lipped Mussels are also a good source of anti-inflammatory fats including EPA and DHA. Four Leaf Rover Green Lipped Mussels are rich in fats with an average 6-10% content.

In a 2007 study, dogs were given Green Lipped Mussel for 8 weeks. They had a significant improvement in pain and mobility. And most of the dogs didn’t need pain meds.

The Green Lipped Mussels in Green Eggs are sustainably farmed in New Zealand. They are carefully freeze dried, highly bioavailable and a good source of vitamins and minerals.

ESM^® Eggshell Membrane

Eggshell membrane, a natural substance found between the eggshell and the egg white, is rich in essential nutrients beneficial for joint health, including collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. These components are known to support the structure and function of joints, helping to maintain flexibility and mobility in dogs. The collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in eggshell membrane contribute to the strength and elasticity of cartilage and promote a normal inflammatory response.

We use ESM® brand eggshell membrane powder, which comes from human-grade egg shells that are carefully cleaned and selected from eggs used for human baked goods.

Poria (Wolfiporia Extenda) Mushrom

Poria has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years.

Poria is a mass of mycelium that grows on the roots of trees and not technically a mushroom. It's low in starch (less than 5%) and rich in immune-modulating beta-glucans. Four Leaf Rover's Poria is a minimum 30% beta-glucan.

Poria is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It's often used not just for joint inflammation, but also for swelling and edema in paws and ears, as well as skin issues.

The Poria mushrooms in Green Eggs are 100% organic and grown on trees, not in a lab.

Curcumin

Curcumin is the active substance found in turmeric. It promotes a healthy inflammatory response and can improve joint health.

The Curcumin in Green Eggs is carbon-14 tested to ensure it contains at least 95% curcuminoids, making it a highly concentrated source of curcumin. Carbon-14 testing measures the amount of carbon-14 in every sample and compares the result to the international standards. The higher the bio-based carbon, the more naturally sourced the Curcumin. This also guarantees your dog's curcumin is free of the synthetic products common in the supplement industry today.
