Both substances are encapsulated by liposomes: small fat bubbles made of sunflower lecithin. The capsule shell is made of HPMC and is therefore plant-based.  <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">The biochemistry of PEA and Boswellia<\/h2>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">PEA.<\/strong> PEA is a fatty substance that the body produces itself. It acts as a messenger between cells. <\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">How PEA works.<\/strong> PEA fits into a kind of lock in the cell called <span class=\"begrip-tooltip\" data-term=\"ppar-alfa\">PPAR-alpha<span class=\"begrip-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">?<\/span><span class=\"begrip-popup\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span>. Through that lock, the cell receives a signal about which proteins it needs to produce. <\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Boswellia.<\/strong> Boswellia is the resin of the frankincense tree. The active substances are called boswellic acids and dissolve in fat. <\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Two routes.<\/strong> Boswellic acids are studied in relation to the <span class=\"begrip-tooltip\" data-term=\"enzym\">enzyme<span class=\"begrip-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">?<\/span><span class=\"begrip-popup\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span> <span class=\"begrip-tooltip\" data-term=\"5-lox\">5-LOX<span class=\"begrip-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">?<\/span><span class=\"begrip-popup\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span>. An enzyme is a protein that allows a reaction to take place in the body. PEA works via a different route, so the two substances complement each other.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"background: #f7f5f0; padding: 12px 16px; font-size: .9rem;\"><strong>How strong is this evidence?<\/strong> The biochemistry of PEA mainly comes from tests with cells and animals. Boswellic acids act strongly on 5-LOX in the laboratory, but in blood, the results are less clear. What this means for dogs and cats at the dosage used does not follow from this.  <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">What does this supplement do?<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">PEA and Boswellia serrata are combined for flexible joints.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">PEA and Boswellia serrata are intended for maintaining flexible joints, even as animals age.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">The liposomal form was chosen to support the absorption of these fat-soluble substances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">How to use this supplement<\/h2>\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit,minmax(160px,1fr)); gap: 3px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #eaf4ea; padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #2b5040; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Initial phase<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: .85rem; color: #333;\">For the first 4 to 8 weeks, give 2x daily: under 10 kg \u00bd capsule, from 10 to 30 kg 1 capsule, and over 30 kg 2 capsules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #d5e8d5; padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #2b5040; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Maintenance<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: .85rem; color: #333;\">After that, give the same amount once daily.
