The All Day Joint Care System with glucosamine and chondroitin has an exclusive time release formula that when taken as directed provides continuous joint support -- the only joint care formula for dogs that lasts long enough to be called All Day. Each All Day tablet delivers: 400 mg Glucosamine HCl, 200 mg Chondroitin Sulfate, 20 mg Ester C® and 5 mg Manganese. These ingredients provide substances that are needed to help keep the cartilage tissue and surrounding cushion healthy. All Day provides the building blocks that are necessary for joint cartilage tissue.
Other glucosamine products dissolve within 4 hours or less. Only All Day uses time-release formula that helps bind the active ingredients, such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, in layers. These layers release gradually for up to 12 hours as they come in contact with the liquids of the gastrointestinal tract. As the moisture penetrates to the core of the tablet, the ingredients are released continuously and absorbed into the bloodstream slowly over time, providing superior, continuous joint support all day.
As the name All Day implies -- if you follow the recommended amount and dosing frequency (every 12 hours), the building blocks needed to support healthy cartilage tissue will be available to the dog for 24 hours, or All Day.
One-half tablet should be given every 12 hours for a dog that weighs 25 – 50 pounds, and one tablet every 12 hours for a dog that weighs over 50 pounds. Tablets are scored to accommodate half tablet dosing, however they should not be quartered for smaller dogs or crushed as this may speed up the release of ingredients, thus destroying the time release system.
All Day is recommended for joint health when signs of discomfort or reduced mobility first begin to appear. Although every dog is different and response time will depend on the state of the joint, age and size of dog, positive effects are usually seen within 7 – 14 days.
