Canine and Feline Cortaflex - Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question below to see the answer! | Close All | Show All Answers


Chondroitin or Glucosamine? Both? or Cortaflex?

Chondroitin and Glucosamine are widely believed to stimulate the joint cells to produce better quality joint fluid (synovial fluid, which acts as a cushion), and to trigger the cartilage matrix to help prevent damage to the joints.

Cortaflex is an effective joint supplement because it contains the key refined, pharmaceutical-grade isolates of Chondroitin and Glucosamine. These smaller molecules are easily absorbed into the bloodstream, where they filter through the capillaries to their intended destination – the joints!

Once the key isolates are present in the joints, they trigger the body to produce its own natural Chondroitin and Glucosamine.

Cortaflex provides both the stimulus and building blocks for natural joint health – that is the Cortaflex difference!

How is Cortaflex different from Glucosamine and Chondroitin products?

Cortaflex is beyond Glucosamine and Chondroitin! Molecules of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, even in their purest form, are simply too large to travel efficiently to the soft tissues of the joint.

View the Chondroitin and Glucosamine problem - and the Cortaflex solution

Instead of loading Cortaflex with thousands of milligrams of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, we have specially formulated our product using their key isolates:

Glutamine · Glutamic Acid · Glucuronic Acid · Glycine · Proline

The unique formulation of Cortaflex allows these building blocks, assisted by Sulphur, to be more readily absorbed by the body. We only use pharmaceutical grade ingredients in Cortaflex, so you are assured of getting a safe, natural, quality product.

How does Cortaflex work?

Glucosamine and Chondroitin are produced naturally by the body. These two substances provide the building blocks for cartilage and cushioning joint fluid.

Cortaflex, a nutritional dietary supplement, relies on the bloodstream to deliver key nutrients throughout the body; it is formulated with the key isolates of Chondroitin and Glucosamine:

Glutamine · Glutamic Acid · Glucuronic Acid · Glycine · Proline

The key isolates used in Cortaflex stimulate the body to produce its own Glucosamine and Chondroitin!

These smaller molecules travel efficiently from the bloodstream to the soft tissues of the joint. The larger molecules of Chondroitin and Glucosamine, are not processed as effectively by the body, as their movement from the bloodstream is restricted.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a long string, gel-like, disaccharide responsible for the viscoelastic behaviour of synovial fluid.

Traditionally, HA has been derived from type II collagen taken from Rooster comb, which has a very high molecular weight of up to more than six million Daltons. This form of HA has been shown to be effective when injected, but it is not considered to be able to achieve a good rate of absorption when given orally.

For this reason the HA used in Canine & Feline Cortaflex is of vegetable origin and has a molecular weight of less than fifty thousand Daltons, allowing efficient absorption when given orally, providing an extra boost to the joint fluid.

There are two versions of Cortaflex - Human, Canine and Feline. What is the difference? Can I give Human Cortaflex to my dog?

There are fundamental differences in the formulation of the two versions. Dogs require different nutrients than people.

Aside from having unique combinations of nutrients, the two versions of Cortaflex are also blended to be palatable to the species for which it was intended ! Human Cortaflex is in capsule form; the Canine & Feline Cortaflex is beef and liver flavoured.

How long does Cortaflex need to be taken? Is it supposed to be administered as a course?

Cortaflex is a nutritional dietary supplement - not a medicine. As such, Cortaflex can be taken indefinitely! We believe giving Cortaflex to your pet on a regular basis can help to protect joints from daily stresses and strains.

I have a puppy whose pedigree makes it prone to joint problems, especially in the hips. I want to try and prevent any problems from developing, but is Cortaflex safe to give to a puppy?

Cortaflex is safe for dogs and cats of all ages and physical conditions. It is a supplement for natural joint health. If you want your pets to maintain a happy, healthy life, then Cortaflex is the choice for you.

How do I give Cortaflex to my pet? Is it difficult to administer?

Cortaflex couldn't be easier to administer, and now you have a choice of three different preparations.

Canine & Feline Cortaflex Liquid and Powder can be mixed in with your pet's regular feed. Canine & Feline Cortaflex Capsules can be given in the feed or orally.

My pet is on medication from the vet - can I still give Cortaflex?

Cortaflex is not a medicine - it is an all-natural dietary supplement. There are no known side effects of Cortaflex, and there are no known contra-indications. We always advise you to consult your vet if you have concerns about prescribed medication.
