A History of Results • For nearly three decades, veterinarians have been prescribing Glyco-Flex products for canine hip and joint support. • Glyco-Flex products were developed by Dr. Roger Kendall, Ph.D. Nutritional Biochemist, who has been associated with Vetri-Science since its inception in 1981. Our product development process is also supported by a team of staff professionals with guidance from animal nutritionists and a panel of expert veterinarians. • Glyco-Flex is from a family-owned and managed company that is dedicated to providing superior animal health products.

You also know that all dogs don't respond identically to the same products. So if non-pharmaceutical animal health products play a part in your protocol, it makes sense to offer your clients an alternative. An alternative like Glyco-Flex, the original veterinary product for canine joint support. Glyco-Flex is formulated differently than other glucosamine/chondroitin products, thus enabling you to care for a broader range of patients. The Glyco-Flex difference. Glyco-Flex contains a unique combination of GlycOmega™ (Perna canaliculus from an exclusive New Zealand source) plus DMG, Glucosamine, MSM and other active ingredients that have been proven beneficial for dogs requiring joint support. Significantly, it is the only clinically researched, Perna-based joint support product available. • Perna canaliculus, commonly known as the New Zealand green-lipped mussel, is a natural source of glycosaminoglycans (including chondroitin-4 and -6 sulfates and hyaluronic acid), minerals, amino acids and omega 3 fatty acids–compounds that can make a significant contribution to canine mobility and comfort. Only Glyco-Flex products are formulated with GlycOmega™ Perna. Unlike Perna extract-based products and mussel powders which lack important fatty acids and other bioactive components (e.g. defatted powders or extracts), in Glyco-Flex the entire organism is utilized, resulting in higher levels of anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, a balanced blend of ingredients is then available to the patient in the same relative proportions as they occur in nature. • Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a naturally occurring compound that has been shown to support joint structure and function. Studies also indicate that DMG acts as a powerful antioxidant to help promote healthy joints and connective tissues. Four U.S. patents have been awarded to Vetri-Science® Laboratories based on over twenty years of research into the properties of DMG. • Glucosamine hydrochloride is an ingredient clinically proven to promote canine joint health. The glucosamine used in all Glyco-Flex products is guaranteed to be 99% pure. Every lot is tested for quality to ensure your patients receive the highest quality, human-grade glucosamine available. • Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has been demonstrated to provide hip and joint support. The MSM used in Glyco-Flex products is guaranteed to be 99% pure. Every lot is tested for quality to ensure your patients receive the highest quality, human-grade MSM available. Glyco-Flex works. Manufacturing and Quality Control Clinical studies. Vetri-Science Laboratories of Vermont has spent over seventeen years researching Glyco-Flex and its primary constituents. In study after study, universities and independent researchers have confirmed the value, safety and bioavailability of Glyco-Flex and its ingredients in relation to joint support. While each ingredient has individually proven its worth, it is the way these components synergistically interact that accounts for the clinical value of Glyco-Flex. • The manufacturing of animal health joint support products is regulated by the FDA. Vetri-Science is a registered drug facility subject to routine FDA inspection. Therefore we have established Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), have a quality control and testing system in place, and follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). These studies are summarized in Glyco-Flex and Its Active Ingredients: Clinical and Research Studies, a publication which is available upon request.

Raw Ingredients • GlycOmega™ (Perna canaliculus /New Zealand green-lipped mussel) is produced for the utmost quality and purity under strict, government-regulated standards. The GlycOmega used in Glyco-Flex products is from a source available exclusively to Vetri-Science. To ensure that the human-grade, whole mussel powder is of the highest quality, it is periodically tested to confirm that it meets or exceeds a standard activity level. GlycOmega is also periodically tested for proteins, individual amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals and chondroitin sulfates. • DMG, Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Methylsulfonylmethane and other active ingredients are human grade and are extensively tested by validated analytical methods to guarantee identity, potency and purity, as well as established physical and chemical properties. • Vetri-Science was one of the first companies to receive the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) “Benchmark of Quality” Seal. Companies whose products bear this seal have passed an audit by NASC, are required to follow label guidelines, have a quality control system in place and must trace and report adverse events on a monthly basis. • For quality assurance purposes, Vetri-Science requires Certificates of Analysis (COA) with all incoming raw ingredients. In addition, we individually evaluate each lot against stringent standards of purity and/or activity. • Our computerized lot numbering system allows us to track any ingredient from the finished product back to the original source. Label Claims • Through extensive stability testing we are able to design our products to ensure that they meet label claims for the entire shelf life of the product. • In addition, every Vetri-Science product is guaranteed for: - Purity and potency - Integrity of formulation - Quality and consistency
