Product Description:
Dasuquin for Cats contains the trademarked ingredients NMX1000™ avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), FCHG49^® glucosamine hydrochloride, and TRH122^® low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate. It’s available in a tasty, easy to administer capsule with natural chicken and tuna flavors.

The glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate support cartilage production and help block enzymes in joints that break down cartilage, and the ASU complements their effects for more comprehensive joint health support. Our trademarked glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate and avocado/soybean unsaponifiables together were shown in cell studies to be better than the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate alone at inhibiting expression of several agents involved in cartilage breakdown.

FAQ
What is Dasuquin?
Dasuquin from Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. is a joint health supplement for cats that goes beyond standard glucosamine supplements. It contains the trademarked ingredients NMX1000™* avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), FCHG49^®* glucosamine hydrochloride, and TRH122^®* low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate in a natural chicken and tuna flavored capsule. It is the most complete joint support supplement available.

What role do the glucosamine hydrochloride and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate play?
The combination of the trademarked glucosamine hydrochloride and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate supports cartilage production and helps block enzymes in joints that break down cartilage. These ingredients together have been shown in published studies to protect joint cartilage better than either ingredient alone. A greater than additive effect, known as a “synergistic” effect, on cartilage cells was seen using this glucosamine and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate together.

What is ASU, and how does it work?
ASU stands for avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, an ingredient concentrated directly from avocados and soybeans that is used for joint health. Studies using cartilage cells have shown that ASU lowers the expression or production of several compounds involved in the process of cartilage breakdown in joints. ASU complements the positive effects of the other active ingredients in Dasuquin. The glucosamine in Dasuquin is synergistic with low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate and has been shown in cartilage cell studies to be synergistic with ASU. Having ASU in the Dasuquin formula is also beneficial as the trademarked avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, glucosamine hydrochloride and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate together were shown in cell studies to be better than the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate alone at inhibiting expression of several agents involved in the breakdown of cartilage.

How do I know if my cat needs Dasuquin?
It may be a good time to ask your veterinarian about Dasuquin if you notice that your cat is less eager to jump or play or otherwise appears less mobile. Your veterinarian will examine your cat to determine if he/she could benefit from Dasuquin. If your veterinarian has already recommended Dasuquin, the sooner it is started the more opportunity your pet will have to respond. Your veterinarian may also suggest using Dasuquin as a protective measure.

My cat has been taking a joint health supplement product. How is Dasuquin different?
Dasuquin is a joint health supplement containing the powerful ingredient ASU along with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. ASU works along with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate to support your pet’s joints. In fact, research has shown that the combination of glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate plus ASU works better than glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate alone!

What should I look for when giving Dasuquin?
Observe your cat closely, and notice whether your cat seems more comfortable doing those activities he/she seemed reluctant doing or had some trouble doing previously. Changes in your cat’s comfort level may occur gradually. Allow time for your cat to respond. It may take 4-6 weeks, though some cats may respond sooner.

Are there any safety concerns with Dasuquin?
Dasuquin has been evaluated in a safety study in cats, and no adverse effects were noted from administration. There are no known contraindications or known interactions between Dasuquin and any drug or nutritional supplement.
