Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
NutriFlex has been trusted by veterinarians and pet owners alike since 2018. Developed through collaboration with nutritionists, animal feed scientists, and vets, our natural alternative health and joint supplements help to promote your furry family member's vitality, comfort, agility and mobility as they tackle their daily activities!
NutriFlex is a premium range of human-food grade supplements without unwanted fillers, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. NutriFlex Advanced is a unique joint supplement formulated to support joint health in pets.
Unlike traditional joint supplements, NutriFlex Advanced uses type II collagen protein extracted from chicken sternum, which is the main structural component of healthy joint cartilage and delivers its tensile strength and toughness.
This sets it apart from other joint supplements that may use lower-quality forms of collagen or synthetic ingredients.
NutriFlex Advanced also includes essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to support overall joint health, making it a comprehensive solution for joint care in pets. Additionally, NutriFlex Advanced is a natural alternative without adverse effects, making it a safe choice for long-term use.
NutriFlex for Pets, formulated with natural ingredients sourced from nature, is safe and effective for dogs, cats and horses. It is suitable for animals of all sizes and life stages.
Collagen is one of the most critical proteins in your pet's body, providing essential support to their muscles, bones, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, connective tissues, digestive tract, skin, and coat. In fact, it makes up 30% of your pet's total protein.
As your pet ages, their natural ability to produce collagen decreases, leading to visible signs of ageing, such as joint discomfort, mobility issues, poor digestion, and skin allergies. Supplementing their diet with
NutriFlex Collagen can help counteract these effects by replenishing the lost collagen, helping your pet stay active and healthy well into their senior years.
A daily serving of NutriFlex Collagen can keep your furry friend feeling their best, naturally.

NutriFlex Advanced has all the benefits of NutriFlex Maintenance PLUS the addition of triple-action joint support for older dogs and cats (7+ years) and animals of all ages that require intensive or preventative joint care.
Several factors determine how quickly NutriFlex Advanced will work, including your pet's overall health, the severity of their joint problems, and the amount and frequency of NutriFlex Advanced consumed. Some people have reported experiencing a visible difference in their pet's joint health within just a few days of starting NutriFlex Advanced. For others, it can take several weeks or even months for noticeable results to occur. The joint-supporting ingredients in NutriFlex Advanced work gradually to nourish and improve the health of your pet's joints, making it a recommended natural alternative long-term solution without damaging side effects. To ensure the best results, following the recommended serving instructions and using NutriFlex Advanced consistently over time is essential.
For pets new to NutriFlex, we recommend starting with a double serving (one in the morning and one in the evening with food) for at least the first month to fast-track results and address any underlying joint issues. In addition, providing your pet with extra support during this initial period can help ensure they experience the full benefits of NutriFlex Advanced and its triple-action joint support. For ongoing joint support, continue using NutriFlex Advanced according to the recommended daily serving instructions after the initial period of double dosing.
