NutriFlex® Maintenance is scientifically formulated for dogs and cats aged from 3 months to help them maintain optimal health and offset some of the degenerative conditions commonly associated with their senior years.

Keep your pet active for life. For life. Naturally

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your pet's body. His entire body depends on collagen for its structural strength and functioning. Collagen and calcium are essential components of healthy bones. Bone health and strength are associated with an active life. Unfortunately your pet's ability to produce collagen on his own declines as he ages.

What is the importance of collagen for my pets health?

When your pet is young, his body produces substantial amounts of collagen. Recent studies show that by the time your dog or cat is 1 year old they are in fact the equivalent of 31 human years!! Collagen depletion is a natural part of your pet's ageing process and results in the visible and degenerative signs of ageing. Lost collagen results in deteriorating bone health which can cause mobility issues, discomfort, pain and a whole host of other comorbidities including autoimmune disorders. In senior animals, the daily intake of protein can be suboptimal and contribute to joint stiffness, arthritis and osteoporosis, a condition where bone mineral density is low. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with bone instability, weakness, discomfort and increased fracture risks, commonly in the spine, shoulder and hip.

Type I collagen represents 90% of organic bone mass. Bones comprise living and dead cells embedded in the extracellular matrix that makes up the skeleton. These cells are continually remodelling or turning over to build new bone. Bones are essentially brittle; its collagen protein that gives bones their flexibility and tensile strength, joint function, comfort and mobility. Like other connective tissue, bone is metabolically active throughout life. Bone health becomes vitally important with increased age as the balance between bone resorption and formation becomes compromised by a net loss of bone tissues. Clinical trials show that a daily intake of collagen stimulates osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation. Osteoblasts support healthy bone metabolism, preserve bone strength and restore bone mineral density, helping to offset the degenerative effects of ageing to keep your pet active for life.
