October 2025: What to look for in a Joint Supplement

Firstly does your animal actually need a Joint Supplement? If you own an animal that, in the long term, will in all probability have joint issues or you have an animal with current joint issues, the answer is 100% yes. There is no permanent cure for arthritis or deteriorating joints. So let’s take a proper look at understanding how best to maintain and prolong healthy joints.
Fact: Drugs & chemicals will ease the pain, but do little to nothing to improve the situation. Every joint contains bone, cartilage and synovial fluid.
  • Bone: continues to grow throughout life, but growth & quality slows down with age.
  • Cartilage: referred to as “soft tissue” acts much the same as bone, but due to being a softer substance is more prone to damage and deterioration.
  • Synovial fluid: a fluid surrounding the joints (much the same consistency as a golden syrup) that protects and lubricates the joint but, once inflamed, the fluid becomes much thinner, thereby less ease of movement.
Obviously all 3 are vital in a healthy joint. When there is, through an injury or age, deterioration to any one of the 3, the entire joint is compromised. Any good joint supplement should include the following ingredients:
  • Chondroitin – To assist healthy bone quality and growth.
  • Glucosamine – To support and maintain healthy soft tissue.
  • MSM – Possibly the most important. As this assists connective tissue, great anti-inflammatory and pain killer.
Then, just to complicate the matter a little bit more, all three of the above ingredients must both be balanced and bio-available (of the highest quality and preferably from “natural” sources). Last, but most certainly not least, is to see if there is a filler (most joint products have them for “increased profits”), and/or a flavourant/colourant (most do)? Flavourants and colourants are strongly linked to allergies and hyperactivity. Animals don’t need to have red food or food that tastes like fake bacon!

Promix Joint Q is a balanced, 100% Bio-available natural product, using the maximum amounts allowed of all the above ingredients. Added is Chamomile (calming digestive aid) and Rooibos extract (anti-inflammatory). Contains zero filler nor mixer, is S.A. Vet registered, USA-FDA approved and EU compliant.
