Geri-Zyme™

Chewables with

patented BioCell Collagen II® and OptiZinc®

 GeriZyme has been a success for over 23 years as the most complete antioxidant enzyme formula available through Licensed Veterinarians.  

Indications: For use in the prophylaxis and correction of nutritional deficiencies in arthritic dogs where free radical damage has occurred.

About the formula: BioCell Collagen II® is a natural type II collagen ingredient that provides a naturally occurring matrix of bioavailable Hyaluronic Acid, depolymerized Chondroitin Sulfate, and Collagen Type II. The new patent protects the composition of BioCell Collagen II®, the natural matrix that matches the joint structure itself, in both oral and topical applications. Synergistically, BioCell Collagen II® may be the missing link to glucosamine and chondroitin formula combinations.

The patent highlights many of the ingredient's joint health benefits. Hydrolyzed collagen type II can be used to treat degenerative joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, joint defects, vascular disease, progressive myopia, cartilage injuries and connective tissue disorders that usually benefit from increased synthesis of new cartilage. BioCell Collagen II® is the most abundant protein found in joint cartilage and reduces oxidative damage to the joints. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a joint nourishing element that is essential in reducing joint friction caused by the joint's degradation of its natural lubrication.

Bio-Cell Collagen II® has unique differentiated properties and is supported by substantial clinical data that conclusively prove the effectiveness of the product for joint health. 

Older animals gradually lose their ability to produce enough enzymes to protect their body from toxic accumulations of free radicals. When an abundance of free radicals are present, degeneration of joint tissue and cell membrane occurs and eventually causes damage to cartilage and the joint.

Additionally, GeriZyme™ contains a balance of vitamins and minerals, which are, required nutritional co-factors necessary to “body produce” additional enzymes. A few of the  co-factors are namely Zinc, Copper and Manganese. These nutrients are required for the activity and production of the enzymes Catalase and SuperOxide Dismutase (S.O.D.) We use OptiZinc®, a unique patented 1:1 complex of Zinc Methionine. OptiZinc® increases zinc absorption and does not adversely affect the copper levels. Numerous studies show OptiZinc® is absorbed better; retained longer and is more effective than any other zinc supplements tested.
