Clinical Evidence Supporting GLM for Joint Health in Pets
1. Improved Mobility and Pain Reduction
-
A study published in the Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research evaluated 23 dogs with OA. After 60 days on a GLM-enriched diet, dogs showed significant improvements in gait (measured by peak vertical force), increased plasma omega-3 levels, and reduced pain scores compared to a control diet.

2. Reduction in Arthritic Symptoms
-
In a double-blind study involving 31 dogs, those fed a diet supplemented with 0.3% GLM powder for six weeks exhibited significant reductions in total arthritis scores, particularly in joint pain and swelling, compared to the control group

3. Comparable Efficacy to NSAIDs
-
A randomised, placebo-controlled trial compared GLM extract (EAB-277) to the NSAID meloxicam in dogs with hip OA. Both treatments led to significant improvements in limb use (measured by peak vertical force), with GLM showing similar efficacy to meloxicam over a six-week period .

4. Enhanced Quality of Life
-
A study reported that 83% of dogs receiving GLM supplementation demonstrated a 30% or greater reduction in total arthritic scores, indicating improved mobility and reduced discomfort.
