Bayer Bay-o-Pet Megaflex 600 gr

Supplementary feed to support the natural function of the musculoskeletal system in dogs and cats.

Product description
Specific nutrients are necessary to supply and build up the connective tissue and the musculoskeletal system. In the growth phase, under high stress and in older animals, there is often a nutritional undersupply of nutrients. This can lead to insufficient cartilage development or subsequent cartilage damage in the joints and other cartilage structures such as the ear cartilage. Deficiencies in articular cartilage often cause reluctance to move, pain and limitations in range of motion, while e.g. B. Defects in the ear cartilage structure impair the stability of the ears. A targeted dietary supplement that supports the metabolism of the cartilage can help to counteract this development and to promote the natural joy of movement of the animal in the long term. 
Administered with the feed, Bay-o-Pet® Megaflex supplies the joints from the inside with important natural ingredients such as New Zealand green-lipped mussel, nettle leaves, willow bark and devil's claw1. The contained omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (6:1 ratio in walnut oil) support the body's own repair processes of the connective tissue and have a natural anti-inflammatory effect2.
