Ursolyx Muscle Care Soft Chews for Cats, 60 Count

Ursolyx Muscle Care Soft Chews for Cats

For cats.

Product Description

Ursolyx from Virbac is a muscle health supplement built specifically for cats, and it addresses something most mobility products skip entirely. Joint support is well established in pet health. Muscle loss is not, even though it's a large part of why an aging cat slows down.

Muscle atrophy affects many cats from around seven years of age, and it shows up in ways owners tend to write off as normal aging: less jumping, shorter play sessions, a cat who no longer makes it onto the counter or the back of the couch. Losing muscle also makes joints less stable, so the two problems compound each other.

The active ingredient is ursolic acid, a natural compound from sage extract, delivered at 12 mg per chew with a proprietary coating that improves absorption. It works at the molecular level on the gene expression associated with muscle atrophy, rather than simply supplying protein.

It's a bacon-flavored soft chew given once daily, with an 89% acceptability rating in testing, which matters enormously in a species that refuses most supplements.
