CaniFlow

CaniFlow is a joint supplement packaged for dog owners that contains high purity longchain hylauronic acid and vitamin C.

Ingredients:

Ingredients per 1ml:

Sodium Hyaluronate 3.4mg

Ascorbic Acid (Vit.C) 2.4mg

CaniFlow derives its unique properties from the size of its hyaluronic acid molecules (700,000 - 1 million units long), most other supplements that contain HA have much smaller molecules are do not offer the same properties.

The size of the HA molecule is critical to maximise its efficacy.

The purified hyaluronic acid (such as in CaniFlow and EquiFlow) has been shown to be taken up after oral administration and be concentrated in the skin, bone and joints.

Other commercial preparations using HA from animal-derived sources have not been shown to be absorbed after feeding and their HA molecules are likely to be too small to deliver a benefit to your animal and may even cause inflammation.

Vitamin C is used in the synthesis of collagen, an important protein required for cartilage repair and function.

Following a diagnosis of degenerative joint disease or tenosynovitis, (inflammation of the tendon sheath), injections of hyaluronic acid can be delivered directly into the diseased joint, making it available immediately in high concentrations.  However, this procedure can only be carried out by a veterinary surgeon.

The procedure is minimally invasive but comes with a risk of infection and some animals may develop a short-term adverse, inflammatory reaction (joint flare).

The injectable form may also be administered intravenously but studies have shown the half life is only a few hours, suggesting that the hyaluronic acid is cleared from the body quickly and that the benefits might be short-lived.

Oral supplementation has the advantage of the hyaluronic acid being delivered all over the body.  Therefore animals with multiple affected joints can benefit from oral administration instead of individual joint injections.

Daily oral provision of hyaluronic acid by the owner is a most pragmatic means of achieving long term maintenance of healthy joints.

In most instances, hyaluronic acid in other joint supplements has been isolated from chicken by-products; by breaking up cartilage or from rooster combs.  When sourced in this way, HA is present as small molecules and in a low purity state with a high protein content and has notbeen shown to be effective.

EquiFlow and CaniFlow mHA is manufactured in the UK through microbial fermentation. This process gives a high purity, high quality, uniform product. It also means that no animals are involved in the process and it’s suitable for those wishing to live a vegan lifestyle

In an approved laboratory, each batch undergoes Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances (NOPS) testing to guarantee it is free from commonly known contaminants (full list available on request).

CaniFlow is dispensed with a syringe that fits the bottle snugly and is supplied in every pack.

For the first 10 days, add CaniFlow to your dog's food twice a day and thereafter a daily maintenance dose

CaniFlow can be used to help dogs diagnosed with a joint injury or disease to support the repairing tissue until it is healed. 

Alternatively it can be used as an ongoing aid for animals suffering progressive, degenerative issues or even in younger animals as part of a prophylactic programme.

Most clients opt to keep their dogs on CaniFlow long-term.

CaniFlow should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, with the cap sealed to prevent contamination; the syringe should be rinsed after each use but care is needed not to remove the printed graduations.

As long as the bottle remains sealed CaniFlow can be used until the expiry date.
