Ursolyx Muscle Care Soft Chews for Dogs, 60 Count
Ursolyx Muscle Care Soft Chews for Dogs
For dogs.
Product Description
Ursolyx from Virbac is a muscle health supplement for dogs, addressing the half of mobility that most products leave out. Joint support is well established in pet health. Muscle support is not, even though muscle loss is a large part of why an older dog slows down, and weaker muscle leaves joints less stable, so the two problems feed each other.
The active ingredient is ursolic acid, a natural compound from sage extract, with a proprietary coating that improves its bioavailability in dogs by roughly four times. It works at the molecular level on the gene expression associated with muscle atrophy rather than simply supplying protein.
In a 60-day study, dogs showed significant improvement in skeletal muscle mRNA biomarkers along with better exercise participation and agility. A safety study at five times the predicted effective dose showed no product-related findings in body weight, food consumption, behavior, gastrointestinal signs, bloodwork, or urine chemistry.
It's a bacon-flavored soft chew given once daily, sized by dog weight.
Commonly Used For
Senior dogs losing muscle mass and condition
Dogs recovering from illness, surgery, or a period of crate rest
Active and working dogs where maintaining muscle supports performance
How to Use
Give once daily using the chew size matched to your dog's weight, or as directed by your veterinarian. Larger dogs may require two chews daily depending on the size selected, so follow the label.
Give it consistently and give it time. Muscle changes happen over weeks, so plan on a couple of months before judging results.
