This week's Question:  Is Celadrin an alternative to Loxicom in dogs?

This was a question sent to us at Ace Canine HQ this week.

Is Celadrin an alternative to Loxicom in Dogs?

Thank you for writing in

Since Celadrin is a proprietary material the manufacturer does not face much direct competition. Therefore, other than providing enough evidence of its effectiveness to establish initial sales there is no motivation for it to go further on the research front. Researchers generally find it an unrewarding field as it will not attract funding. The main trial of Celadrin in dogs can be found here https://celadrin.com/celadrin-for-pet-inflammation-and-arthritis/

While it is independent of the manufacturer it appears on the manufacturer’s own website. There is also another article on our website https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0561/0949/8558/files/EfficacyCanineCeladrin.pdf?v=1628251935

 

 

These trials cover its use in the relatively common disease of osteoarthritis in the limb joints. There are no trials or research in the specific field of spinal arthritis, of which spondylitis is a type. However, the scientific community has looked at why and how Celadrin works in this research:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6921950/

While not carried out on live animals it offers real evidence that Celadrin is capable of exerting a major influence on inflammation, pain and cartilage re-growth. Essentially it identifies for the first time exactly how Celadrin works; that it reduces the activity of three compounds (Interleukin 6, MCP-1, and TNF) that are detrimental to cartilage. Furthermore, there is evidence that the growth of chondrocytes (the cells that produce cartilage) is increased.

In thinking about your own situation could it be that, like so many owners, you would like an alternative to Loxicom because of negative side effects in the longer term? While supplements may offer a safer route, I can’t help but feel they are almost always going to be less effective than drugs at purely reducing pain. Perhaps the idea of supporting your dog by using supplements as an addition to pain relieving drugs may be the way to go; especially if they can be shown to offer some healing properties and play a role in reducing side effect risks. If you chose this route, we would suggest Green Lipped Mussel for its proven ability to reduce side effects of Loxicom type drugs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22366869/

 

Celadrin could also contribute, as could our product Phylax. Both work by different route to each other and to Green Lipped Mussel. So have a read and a think and we would be quite happy to answer any further questions.
