Hi i have a 3yr7mo old male rottie named Jake he is such a handsom and well mannered and he has already had a successful anterior posterior cruciate ligement done 1yr ago and just got a loose hip diagnosis i week ago i am looking for a supplement to manage pain and inflamation has any one heard or K9-MX by lakota?

No never heard of that sorry but I'm a huge fan of glucosamine(sorry if it's spelt wrong) for sore joints

Glucosamine Chondroiton, or Glycoflex works great! I have had two rottis in the past with the smae problems, among others. I sure hope you are able to help this poor boy feel better! good luck!

Hes currently on a glucosamine and condriton supp, and omega-3 for natural anti inflamatory. what is Glycoflex? prescription? he is taking darmaxx for a few days now
are there any natural pain killers?

Glyco-Flex
Vetri-Science Glyco-Flex i ii iii Natural Joint Support Supplement for Canine Dogs

I use elk velvet antler on my 11 yr. old German Shepherd and 10 yr. old Great Pyrenees (as well as myself) to manage joint and connective tissue health. It is a naturally occurring, renewable source of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, collagen, omega 3 and numerous other compounds that collectively and safely address a wide range of health problems.
For more information on elk velvet antler please feel free to contact me.

I still would like to know more about it! And also, there is no Petsmart in my area, so how could I find it????

Don't know where you live Pooh but you must have a Safeway near you. Safeway has a great triple strength Gl/Ch/MSM called Flex-a-min. Sidney (golden/Irish wolfhound mix) was diagnosed with hip displacia several years ago and has been taking this suppliment every since. It has done wonders for her. She has had two knee surgeries and now has some arthritis in there, but without the Flex-a-min I don't think she'd be walking let alone running around like she does....and she's eleven years old now! The vet is amazed at how well she is doing. Be sure to give some time for this to work...some take longer than others to show improvement and some seem to improve very quickly. Here is my happy 11 year old

Poohbear, you were wanting more info on elk velvet antler.

Cheers, Guy

All of the compounds listed are found in Elk Velvet Antler !


Alkaline phosphatase - promotes tissue healing and repair

Amino Acids - all of the essential and 15 non-essential – the precursors (raw materials) for protein production; an essential nutrient must be supplied to the body through proper nutrition, you must eat it to get it, non-essential are made within the body with proper nutrition, all essential amino acids must be present in the body at the same time if growth and repair of tissue is to occur

Bone Morphogenetic Protein – regulates bone growth

Calcium – provides structure for bones and teeth, and is essential for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and blood clotting

Chondroitin Sulfate – extremely potent anti-inflammatory agent

Cobalt – needed for the creation of enzymes and red blood cells

Collagen, Collagen type 1, Collagen type 11 – major structural components of bones, tendons, ligaments, other connective tissue and articular cartilage; both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are associated with the loss of the ability to synthesize or maintain collagen type 11, collagen type 11 has been useful in reducing the autoimmune reaction of rheumatoid arthritis by assisting in the manufacture of immune cells that reduces the inflammation

Copper – necessary for red blood cell development, bones and nerves

Dermatin – found mostly in skin but also in blood vessels, tendons, heart valves and pulmonary connective tissue

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) – growth factors that aid development of cartilage cells, has growth promoting actions on the skin, it is thought that at least some of the effects of normal aging – wrinkling and loss of elasticity in the skin – are due to the decline of hormone secretion and therefore decreased stimulation of EGF in the body

Erythropoietin – a hormone produced by specialized kidney cells and released into the blood stream in response to low oxygen levels, thus helping to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood

Fatty Acids – all, including the essential fatty acids that bodies require daily, most significantly Linolenic, C18:3 Omega 3 and Omega 6; - build cell parts, boost energy for cellular activities, lower cholesterol, prevention and retardation of cancer, modulation of blood pressure, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

Gangliocides – promote memory and learning function

Glucosamine Sulfate – glue-like qualities help hold tissues together, is a major component of synovial fluid, which lubricates and serves as a shock absorber for the joints

Glycosphingolipids – compounds involved with growth and metabolism of cells, and with memory and learning

Growth Factors - TGF, FGF8, BMP4, NT3, and largely IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor - 1) – a precursor (supplies the raw materials) for Growth Hormone production which affects the growth and maintenance of bones, anabolic effect - promotes protein and fat metabolism (build muscle, burn fat), stimulates cartilage growth, immune response and thickening and lengthening of bones in young bodies. Growth Hormone production falls off very rapidly after the teen years and by age 30 is significantly reduced. IGF-1 also encourages absorption of condroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate

Hyaluronic Acid – the cement material of connective tissue and a component of synovial fluid that cushions joints

Iron – essential for blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body

Keratin Sulfate (not to be confused with keratin) – functions in the assembly of the collagen network

Manganese – required for development of bones and connective tissue, also for normal functioning of the nervous system

Magnesium – needed in metabolic reactions, storing and releasing energy in cells

Monoamine-oxidase inhibitors – enzymes that inhibit the oxidation of neurotransmitters and so promote a feeling of well being

Neutrophils – promote the ability to resist disease and injury

Nitrogen – needed to build body tissues

Nucleotides (RNA and DNA)…Hypoxanthine, Uridene – potent anti-aging effects

Phospholipids including Lysophosphatidyl, Lysophosphatidyl choline, Phosphatidyl choline – major structural lipids of cellular membranes, blood pressure lowering function, anti-aging benefits

Phosphorus – a component of nearly all metabolic reactions, provides structure for bones and teeth

Potassium - important for proper nerve and muscle function

Prostaglandins – hormone-like agents that enact a reduction in inflammation

Selenium – stimulates increased anti-body response to infection

Sodium (not salt) – helps to regulate water balance, is needed for conduction of nerve impulses and muscle fiber contraction

Sulfur – a component of various amino acids and insulin, lack of sulfur can lead to skin problems and the poor development of hair and nails

Uronic Acid – improves circulation

Zinc – is part of the enzymes involved in digestion and respiration, and is necessary for wound healing and maintaining the health of the skin

All of the compounds listed are found in Elk Velvet Antler !

Benefits of Elk Velvet Antler

Attention Arthritis sufferers !!!

The chondroitin sulfate and collagen type 11 in velvet antler were scientifically substantiated by research and clinical studies, in compliance with FDA regulations “to support healthy joint structure and function.”

Please note: Due to Government regulations, specific claims (other than the above) cannot be made concerning natural health supplements. That being said, a growing body of research and study as well as anecdotal evidence from thousands of years of use in other parts of the world has indicated that some of the potential benefits attained with the use of velvet antler may include:

Accelerated post surgical recovery time

Alleviate reproductive disorders and increase fertility

Anticancer and anti-tumor effects

Anti-ulcer effects

Build and maintain bone

Increased energy

Increased red blood cell production and hemoglobin levels

Decreased premenstrual symptoms

Enhanced athletic performance – Increased - endurance, speed, muscular capacity & growth, lactic acid removal and faster recovery time

Enhanced immune response

Improved cardiovascular health

Improved circulation

Improved mental capacity and function

Improved mood

Improve certain skin disorders, notably: psoriasis, eczema and some forms of acne

Improved glandular functions

Increased libido

Increased lung efficiency

Lessen the symptoms of menopause

Normalize blood pressure

Prevent muscular atrophy

Promote the rapid healing of broken bones, torn muscles and soft tissue (tendons and ligaments)

Reduced cholesterol levels

Reduce the severity and progression of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis

Reduced stress – physical, emotional, chemical

Reduced varicose veins

Reduce the severity of hangovers

Regenerate neuro-tissue

Restore liver and kidney function

Sharper vision

Slow the aging process

Speed wound healing

Although it would appear as though velvet antler is a miracle cure-all, it would more properly be referred to as an adaptogen. Adaptogens adapt to your needs and tend to correct that which is out of balance by restoring and regulating normal biological functions, are non-toxic, user friendly, non habit forming and are held in suspension or disuse when not called upon.

Velvet antler could also be referred to as a whole food for nutritional support of the body at the cellular level.

Please be informed that what we are talking about is not the hairy, fuzzy outer coating that covers the antler during the growth phase, known as the velvet stage of growth, but the cartilaginous matrix or inner core that forms the rapidly growing antler structure. Antler is not a horn, but a living, growing bone!

“Live well, live long, love life”!

Thank you Guy, and how can I buy it without using a credit card? I have a debit card from MC but I would like to do this without paying for the whole thing before finding out that it works.
