Maintaining your dog’s joint health is crucial for their mobility and overall quality of life, especially as they age or if they are prone to joint issues. Dasuquin Advanced Chewable Tablets offer a specialized solution designed to support and maintain healthy joints in dogs of all sizes. This advanced formula builds upon the trusted ingredients of the leading veterinarian-recommended joint health brand, Dasuquin, with enhanced components for superior efficacy.
Understanding Dasuquin Advanced
Dasuquin Advanced is formulated with a combination of well-researched ingredients known for their positive impact on joint health. The core components include:
- Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) Powder (NMX1000®): ASU works synergistically with glucosamine and chondroitin to help protect cartilage and support joint function.
- Glucosamine Hydrochloride (FCHG49®): A fundamental building block for cartilage, glucosamine helps to maintain joint structure and reduce cartilage degradation.
- Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate (TRH122®): Chondroitin sulfate is a key component of cartilage that helps to attract and retain fluid, which is essential for cushioning and lubricating joints.
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): MSM is an organic sulfur compound that is believed to support joint health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
In addition to these foundational ingredients, Dasuquin Advanced is enhanced with a proprietary blend that includes:
- Manganese Ascorbate: A source of manganese, an essential mineral that plays a role in collagen formation and cartilage health.
- Boswellia Serrata Extract: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, this extract helps to soothe and support joint comfort.
- Curcuma Longa Extract (NMXCC95®): A potent antioxidant derived from turmeric, which contributes to overall joint health by combating oxidative stress.
- Green Tea Extract (EGCG): Rich in antioxidants, EGCG helps to protect joint tissues from damage.
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA): A powerful antioxidant that supports joint health and helps to neutralize free radicals.

When to Consider Dasuquin Advanced
Dasuquin Advanced is an excellent choice for dogs experiencing:
- Age-related joint stiffness: As dogs age, their cartilage can naturally break down, leading to discomfort and reduced mobility.
- Activity-related joint issues: Dogs that are highly active, such as working dogs or those participating in dog sports, may benefit from extra joint support.
- Post-operative recovery: Following orthopedic surgery, these supplements can aid in the healing process and support joint recovery.
- Proactive joint health maintenance: Even healthy dogs can benefit from the preventative support offered by Dasuquin Advanced, especially those predisposed to joint problems.
By providing comprehensive support for cartilage health, joint lubrication, and antioxidant protection, Dasuquin Advanced Chewable Tablets can help your canine companion maintain an active and comfortable lifestyle. Always consult your veterinarian before starting any new supplement regimen for your dog.
