Pet Muscle Support Soft Chews

Targeted Protein Synthesis, Lean Muscle Development & Athletic Recovery

The ability to maintain functional muscle mass is important to ensure that animals, whether they are working, athletically challenged, displayed at dog shows or simply pampered pets, retain sufficient muscle mass to enable them to act as athletes, to stabilize joints and to be generally full of life and activity. High-performance working dogs, for example, need support by means of specific amino acids when their bodies are subjected to extreme physical stress. On the other hand, older animals are gradually losing muscle mass and, as a result, are becoming weaker, less mobile and increasingly dependent.

Pet Muscle Support Soft Chews are specifically designed to support Protein Synthesis for Lean Muscle Development & Maintenance in dogs and cats. Designed to increase athletic ability, enhance endurance and aid in post-exercise recovery, this unique supplement is ideal for working dogs, sports dogs, show dogs and senior dogs in decline due to aging and corresponding loss of muscle. Supports optimal Body Composition, Structural Integrity and Total Health & Energy.

Science-Backed 4-Stage Anabolic & Anti-Catabolic Matrix

Our comprehensive formula unites several highly effective bio-actives, which affect muscle protein synthesis at a cellular level and have been proven scientifically.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides: These small-molecule peptides are designed to be quickly absorbed, providing the highest-quality building blocks of amino acids to aid in the repair of muscle and growth of connective tissue in the body’s matrix.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine): These 3 amino acids activate the mTOR pathway to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. They are the initial messengers that allow for muscle building.

HMB (β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate): A potent active metabolite of leucine that inhibits the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to effectively reduce muscle degradation, delivering dual-directional muscle metabolic support.

L-Carnitine & Vitamin D3: L-Carnitine supports the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production, allowing for sustained muscle fuel. Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, muscle contraction and motor coordination.

High-Bioavailability Animal Protein & Essential Micronutrients: High-Bioavailability Animal Protein supports muscle development, provides complete Essential Amino Acids, while Zinc, Vitamin E, and Selenium act as Synergistic Antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress from intense physical activity and protect muscle cells from damage.

The following options can be added to the formula on an optional basis: Creatine, Glutamine, Methionine, Taurine, Coenzyme Q10, and MCT Oil. These can be added to achieve specific goals.

Soft Chew Technology: High Palatability & Rapid Nutrient Delivery

The only real physiological benefits come from animals eating their supplements on a regular basis.

Our new soft granule form delivers protein in a matrix that will release other nutrients as the soft granule is chewed. The form has good palatability with high voluntary acceptance, thus it can be used for rapid post-exercise nutritional replenishment. Soft granules are easy to use as a reward, to crumble to mix with food, or to swallow whole, and can be used with all sizes and life stages including picky eaters. They can be formulated in a variety of flavors, with different levels of protein and with varying levels of nutrients to support a variety of activity levels and body composition goals. For example, soft granules can be made in chicken, beef, duck, or fish flavors and can contain up to 70% protein. The nutrient content can be increased to support dogs that are athletes or are recovering from surgery.
