Published Reviews

2020 Review

2020 Review

« UC-II administration has been reported to be more effective than the most frequently used glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements in joint health studies that were done with humans and animals. » (10)

2017 Glucosamine Review

« Although glucosamine and chondroitin have benign adverse effect profiles, the clinical benefit of using these agents remains questionable. » (11)

 

 

2022 Nutraceutical Review(12)

EPA & DHA: « For omega-3-based compounds, ie, categories 1 and 2 the results of all previous reviews support our inferences with a high level of comfort that these products are highly effective. »

UC-II® collagen: « lt, therefore, appears impossible to rule, at the present time, on an indication for collagen in canine OA based on the results of this meta-analysis. »

NB: In this review, they didn't separate UC-II® collagen from other collagen supplements. They also couldn't include four clinical studies that came out in 2022 or after.

Glucosamine: « The systematic review of the literature included nine trials that evaluated, mostly in combination, glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulphate. Chondroitin-glucosamine nutraceuticals (ctg. 4) showed strong evidence of non-effect and a significant statistical difference in efficacy from the other categories (ctg. 1, 2, 3 and 5) in the meta-analysis ».

Pet Parents And Vets Love it!

Our clients love it so far, none of our clients had anything negative to say about Jope. I had inserted one of the real reviews from a client below
“I love it because he thinks they are treats and he liked the way they taste and he walked better and not in pain so they work very well for him.”
