Per Biotrope, the founder is a veterinarian who was frustrated by the limited options for treating chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases in dogs — and by the serious side-effects of the conventional medications (steroids, anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants). He believed there had to be a natural solution without those side-effects that would slow down both the degenerative and inflammatory processes. After a decade of careful research and testing, he developed an entirely natural plant-based supplement. An unexpected discovery during development: the formula worked as a preventative, not just a palliative. Clinical trials confirmed the result, and System Saver (Canine and Equine versions) was made available to the public.
Per Biotrope, System Saver is a safe, plant-based alternative to corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and immunosuppressants. The all-natural formula activates intrinsic broad-spectrum metalloproteinase enzyme inhibitors. Metalloproteinases are tissue-destructive enzymes — by encouraging their regulation, the formula controls damage done to cartilage and other tissue during athletics, traumatic injury, repetitive activity, and aging. When tissue damage exceeds the body's ability to repair it, degenerative disease occurs; regulating the enzyme activity permits regenerative healing to prevail again.
Per Biotrope, metalloproteinase enzymes are also responsible for activating the biochemical mediators (including TNF-alpha) involved in many chronic inflammatory, autoimmune, and immune-mediated disorders. By regulating these enzymes, System Saver has proven effective in managing many of these conditions. Beyond enzyme inhibition, the ingredients also have been shown to have direct broad-spectrum (multi-pathway) anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Combined, these activities mitigate tissue destruction, chronic inflammatory disorders, oxidative stress, immune-mediated disorders, and acute inflammation.
Per Biotrope, conventional joint nutraceuticals (chondroitin, glucosamine, hyaluronate) supply nutrients for cartilage repair AFTER damage occurs. System Saver inhibits the destructive enzymes BEFORE they damage the cartilage — the dual-action mechanism inhibits chronic inflammation AND tissue degeneration. The practical implication: System Saver works for healthy-joint maintenance (preventing damage in athletic dogs and aging pets) AND for dogs already suffering from arthritis (where inhibiting additional cartilage damage permits regenerative processes to prevail, while the anti-inflammatory effect provides relief from pain and loss of function).
Per Biotrope, the formula manages the underlying processes for:
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Per Biotrope: not for use by pregnant or nursing animals or for pediatric use; consult your healthcare professional if you or your animals are taking other medications to verify no interactions or contraindications.
Per Biotrope, four all-natural plant-source active ingredients: Frankincense, Citrus reticulata, Camelia sinensis, Curcuma longa (turmeric). Standardized extracts ensure specificity, consistency, and purity. Vegetarian capsules and extenders for the encapsulated product (the equine version is a powder using all-natural flavoring for palatability). The Veterinary formula uses the same quality ingredients as Biotrope's human formula, but adjusted to meet the needs specific to the species — the canine, equine, and human versions are not interchangeable.
Per Biotrope, the all-natural plant-based formula avoids the side-effect profile of corticosteroids and traditional anti-inflammatory medications. Issues such as gastric ulcers, vomiting, intestinal bleeding, colitis, immunosuppression, and adrenal, kidney, or liver problems are not characteristic of System Saver. The dual-action mechanism (enzyme inhibition + inflammation regulation) replaces both the joint-nutraceutical category and the corticosteroid/NSAID category for many treatment goals. Always consult your veterinarian before transitioning a dog off prescribed medication.
Per Biotrope, some conditions respond immediately; chronic conditions may take 2–4 weeks. Each animal is an individual — allow time for System Saver to engage the regulatory systems. Pricing per source: one bottle has 120 capsules, lasts up to 2 months, and is $45 plus shipping. Pricing as quoted is subject to change due to economic factors — confirm current pricing with Biotrope directly. The same formula is also available in equine (powder) and human versions.
