Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes Phycox MAX different from the original Phycox formula?

Ans: The MAX formula contains 3X the amount of phycocyanin compared to original Phycox, plus six additional ingredients, including CoQ10, green tea extract, cinnamon, gymnema sylvestre, cranberry extract, and chromium picolinate for advanced joint and senior dog support.

Q2: Which dogs are these small bites designed for?

Ans: The smaller chew format is specifically formulated for dogs under 30 lbs who may not be able to eat the larger soft chews. They are ideal for small breeds, mature dogs, athletic small dogs, and seniors with joint discomfort.

Q3: How does phycocyanin help with joint inflammation?

Ans: Phycocyanin is a natural anti-inflammatory derived from blue-green algae (Spirulina). It works by inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme that drives inflammation, providing potent anti-inflammatory effects with fewer side effects than traditional NSAIDs.

Q4: How quickly will improvements be visible in my dog?

 Ans: Many dogs see increased mobility within 30 days of starting the supplement. The manufacturer recommends doubling the maintenance dose for the first 4 to 6 weeks to achieve maximum benefits during the loading period.

Q5: Should the chews be given with food?

Ans: Yes, administer during or after meals to reduce the chance of gastrointestinal upset. Giving the supplement with food at the same time every day also supports better absorption of the active ingredients and consistent results.

Q6: Can this supplement be given to cats?

Ans: No, the formula is intended exclusively for dogs and should not be given to cats. The propylene glycol content and ingredient blend are formulated specifically for canine physiology and may not be safe for feline use.

Q7: Are there any drug interactions to be aware of?

Ans: High doses can enhance the effects of anticoagulant medications. Inform your veterinarian about all current medications, vitamins, herbal therapies, and supplements your dog is taking before starting, and monitor for any abnormal changes at home.

Q8: Is this product safe for diabetic dogs?

Ans: Diabetic dogs should have their blood glucose levels monitored when taking glucosamine-containing supplements. The formula also contains chromium picolinate and gymnema sylvestre, which may affect blood sugar, so consult your veterinarian before use.

Q9: Can puppies or pregnant dogs take this supplement?

Ans: No, safe use has not been established in immature, pregnant, lactating, or breeding animals. The product is intended for adult dogs only and should not be administered to puppies or breeding females without specific veterinary direction.

Q10: How should the chews be stored at home?

Ans: Store at a controlled room temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C) in the original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children and other animals to prevent accidental ingestion.
