Hip & Joint Elite+ | UC-II Collagen and Boswellia Blend

Targeted Mobility Support for Dogs and Cats

Not all joint supplements are created equal. While many basic joint powders rely on maintenance-level ingredients diluted with fillers and flow agents, North Hound Life Hip and Joint Elite Plus is formulated specifically for dogs and cats facing real mobility challenges. Whether your dog is hesitating before stairs, lagging behind on walks, showing stiffness when getting up, or managing arthritis and dysplasia, Hip and Joint Elite Plus delivers targeted, structural support where it matters most.

Every single gram delivers 100 percent active, bioavailable ingredients with no flow agents, no artificial additives, and zero fillers.

The 5 Active Ingredients

1. UC-II Undenatured Type II Collagen (20 mg per 1 gram): A patented, clinically studied form of collagen derived from chicken sternum cartilage. Unlike standard hydrolyzed collagen that acts strictly as structural building blocks, UC-II operates via oral tolerance. It interacts with immune tissue in the gut to help calm the immune response that attacks joint cartilage, slowing progression and preserving joint integrity.

2. Boswellia serrata Extract (120 mg per 1 gram): Standardized to 65 percent boswellic acids and dosed within the optimal research-supported therapeutic range of 8 mg per kg. Boswellia targets key inflammatory pathways (5-LOX, leukotrienes, and cytokines) to reduce joint discomfort and ease flare-ups without harsh side effects.

3. Hydrolyzed Type I Collagen (820 mg per 1 gram): Bioactive collagen peptides designed to provide rich structural amino acids for rebuilding and maintaining tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues.

4. Hyaluronic Acid (10 mg per 1 gram): Formulated at a controlled molecular weight for optimal oral absorption, promoting joint lubrication and cushioning.

5. Vitamin C as Ascorbate (30 mg per 1 gram): A crucial antioxidant co-factor required for natural collagen synthesis and cellular defense against oxidative stress.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question 1: How long does it take to see results in my dog’s mobility? Answer: Because Hip and Joint Elite Plus works at the structural and immune level rather than acting as a temporary synthetic pain blocker, improvements are progressive. Most pet parents observe visible changes, such as less morning stiffness, greater ease standing up, and more enthusiasm on walks, within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use.

Question 2: Can I use Hip and Joint Elite Plus together with Green-Lipped Mussel powder? Answer: Yes. Pairing Hip and Joint Elite Plus with a whole-food joint supplement like Green-Lipped Mussel creates a comprehensive joint protocol. Green-Lipped Mussel supplies broad-spectrum omega-3 fatty acids (ETA) to calm surface inflammation, while Hip and Joint Elite Plus delivers targeted UC-II collagen and hyaluronic acid to address deep structural cartilage health and immune modulation.

Question 3: What makes UC-II collagen different from regular collagen peptides? Answer: Standard hydrolyzed collagen provides amino acid building blocks for connective tissue. Patented UC-II is undenatured Type II collagen, meaning its biological protein structure remains intact. It works through a biological mechanism called oral tolerance in the gut, signaling the immune system to stop attacking and degrading articular joint cartilage.

Question 4: Can this supplement be safely given to cats? Answer: Yes. Hip and Joint Elite Plus is safe and effective for cats experiencing joint stiffness or reduced jumping ability. The dosage is based on body weight: 1/8 teaspoon (250 mg) daily for cats up to 9 lbs, and 1/4 teaspoon (500 mg) daily for cats over 9 lbs.

Question 5: Why is there no plastic measuring scoop included in the jar? Answer: To minimize single-use plastic waste and environmental impact, North Hound Life packages in amber glass jars and encourages using household standard measuring spoons (1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp). Whenever Health Canada mandates an included scoop for specific lots, fully compostable bamboo spoons are provided.
