Quality

Manufacturing and Purity

Our products are manufactured in a government licensed factory that operates to an internationally recognised code of practice, termed ‘GMP’ (Good Manufacturing Practice) This requires that all the ingredients in our products must be tested to EU standards for purity before they can be used.

We manufacture to pharmaceutical grade standards and test the purity of our ingredients at the raw material stage and the final completed product stage to guarantee the stated label claim, purity and quality.

We state the percentage purity on our label for our Glucosamine HCL and Chondroitin Sulphate inclusion for nutraquin and nutraquin+

The importance of using Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCL)

nutravet's Glucosamine inclusion for nutraquin and nutraquin+ is Glucosamine HCL

There are two forms of Glucosamine, Glucosamine HCL and Glucosamine Sulphate.

Glucosamine HCL is the highest quality, purest form of Glucosamine, it is more stable and occurs naturally in every living organism.

However, Glucosamine sulphate is a synthetic man-made molecule with 20% of it being salt. An excessive use of salt is not good for your pet's heart.

There is 75% less Glucosamine in one gram of sulphate than there is in the equivalent Glucosamine HCL.

Raw Materials Sourcing

Many manufacturers use land animal sources for product ingredients because they are cheaper to include. However in view of recent and continuing food related health scares nutravet products do not contain ingredients derived from mammalian or avian sources.

At nutravet, our raw materials are both ethical and sustainable, we have only used high quality plant and marine sourced ingredients for nutramed, nutraquin and nutraquin+, Our Glucosamine HCL is sourced from Shellfish and our Chondroitin Sulphate is produced from Squid cartilage.

All ingredients are enclosed in vegetable capsules which are gelatin free.
