Some of the most popular nutritional supplements (also called nutraceuticals) in pet health care today are shown to reduce hip and joint pain. Many pet parents are giving their fur babies targeted supplements as a preventative measure or to help ease hip and joint pain in older dogs.
Larger breeds, such as German Shepherds and Rottweilers, are often at a greater risk for developing joint and hip problems. However, all dogs may develop joint pain or arthritis as part of the natural aging process.
Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate, MSM & More
Hip and joint supplements contain ingredients that are shown to support and maintain joint health. The most common ingredients are glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Research indicates these ingredients may assist in decreasing inflammation and improving the body’s ability to repair and strengthen joint tissues.
Glucosamine is shown to improve the body’s production of joint lubricants and the health of cartilage within joints. As chondroitin production naturally decreases as dogs age, adding this as a supplement may ease pain in dogs. MSM provides sulfur compounds that can inhibit pain. Other ingredients such as turmeric root powder, yucca schidigera extract, egg shell meal, vitamin C and vitamin E are also shown to support and improve joint health.
What About Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Seed Powder in Joint Supplements?
Hemp seed oil is extracted from “industrial hemp plant” seeds. It does not contain phytocannabinoids. Hemp seed oil is rich in nutrients and essential fatty acids such as omega-3, omega-6 and GMA (gamma linolenic acid) which are shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Hemp seed powder is also derived from industrial hemp seeds, so it does not contain phytocannabinoids either. Hemp seed powder is made from ground hemp seeds, and it is rich in nutrients and essential fatty acids that can help decrease inflammation. Additionally, hemp seed powder is rich in protein, amino acids and fiber.
Due to their anti-inflammatory properties, hemp seed oil and hemp seed powder are often added into hip and joint supplements along with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, MSM and other ingredients. For more information about hemp seed oil and hemp seed powder, please see our previous article about dog supplements.
How Do I Start Selling Dog Supplements?
If you are considering selling a line of dog supplements (or expanding the lines you already carry), partnering with a private label company can be a great way to grow your business. A private label partner can help you develop your own line of dog supplements featuring your own branding and logo.
The right private label partner can help you scale and grow your business whether you are an online seller, veterinarian, groomer, trainer or own your own pet store(s). Since dietary supplements are not regulated, the quality of the ingredients may vary significantly, so it’s important to partner with a company with a proven track record of offering quality supplements.
