Joints are built from proteins. This recipe supplies them.

Eden Gourmet Goose & Turkey is a complete, grain-free dry food formulated around freshly prepared goose and turkey. Independent testing at the University of Bradford and ALS Laboratories UK confirms the specific nutritional mechanisms that support joint comfort and mobility, from the collagen-building amino acids to the omega-3 fatty acids that support a measured inflammatory response.

Why efficient absorption matters for joints

Joints are built from connective tissue, and connective tissue is built from amino acids. For the body to maintain cartilage, tendons and the collagen network around every joint, it needs those amino acids delivered reliably and in an absorbable form.

59% of protein in this recipe arrives as di- and tri-peptides, directly absorbed with minimal digestive effort. Approximately 79% falls below the 2 kDa threshold.

Joint tissue turns over slowly. Measurable improvements in joint comfort typically become apparent after 6–12 weeks of consistent feeding.

The building blocks of healthy joints

Cartilage, tendons, ligaments and the joint capsule are all built principally from collagen. Values measured on the finished kibble.
