It is interesting to observe, that 30 years ago in most societies, when a pet was ill, it was likely destroyed, and in agriculture veterinarians discovered that animal health could be positively influenced by providing nutritional supplements. In New Zealand following lengthy trials, it was concluded that nutritional supplements were the most effective and most economic means of treating and preventing animal disease, as one example, that by giving selenium to sheep would prevent, and in many cases cure white muscle disease.

Over these years we have come to see how human health can be positively effected with nutritional supplements and it seems curious the many pets are now being treated with modern chemical drugs, which aside from dulling pain, have very little effect on the health of the animal.

So here we look at some of the more common animal health problems with a focus on arthritis. This is one of the most common conditions that animals suffer from, and now after a year of our own research we are pleased to be able to endorse Syn-Flex as the best treatment available to remedy arthritis and interestingly it works equally well in humans.
