Together with animal naturopath Ursula Wilke of Tierheilpraxis Wilke, we have developed effective and, above all, unique herbal blends that provide dogs with excellent support for specific issues using CBD and other carefully selected natural ingredients—perfectly tailored to each dog’s individual needs.
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at our MAGIC MOVE herbal blend, which supports the musculoskeletal system, and explore its unique ingredients!
Why CBD PLUS? The purpose of our herbal blends
The goal of our CBD PLUS herbal blends is to harness the power of nature to provide your dogs with the best possible care and support. Many of you have been giving your dogs green-lipped mussel powder or collagen in addition to our CBD products to address a wide range of issues. This idea inspired us to create our new line of dietary supplements, “CBD PLUS.”
Our CBD PLUS herbal blends are distinguished by their unique synergistic combination of various nutrients, which are perfectly balanced to promote the health and well-being of dogs. The best of nature—combined in a handful of carefully selected ingredients—available in a single blend.
Collaboration with animal naturopath Ursula Wilke
These products were developed in collaboration with animal naturopath Ursula Wilke. Ursula has been working as an animal naturopath and nutritionist since 2021, caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and she knows exactly which ingredients have proven effective in practice.

Our MAGIC MOVE herbal blend for movement and activity
MAGIC MOVE was developed to promote movement and activity and help dogs lead more agile lives. With ingredients such as New Zealand green-lipped mussel powder, collagen, hemp leaf powder with natural CBD, rosehip peel, nettle herb, devil’s claw, glucosamine, MSM, and chondroitin sulfate, this herbal blend naturally supports your dog’s joint health and mobility. Also ideal for dogs that are physically active, e.g., in sports and agility. Simply sprinkle the herbal blend over their food. The dosage is designed so that the daily requirement of the herbal blend covers the baseline CBD level.
10 valuable ingredients to support and encourage your dog’s activity and love of exercise
01 Green-lipped mussel powder
The components of the green-lipped mussel—in combination with chondroitin sulfate— closely resemble the composition of synovial fluid, tendons, and cartilage, and support the production of synovial fluid and the repair of damaged joint cartilage. Rich in GAGs (glycosaminoglycans), omega fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, it also supports the maintenance of normal joint function. For our green-lipped mussel powder, we use only the pure, freeze-dried mussel meat of the New Zealand “Perna canaliculus” (green-lipped mussel), shell-free and in full-fat quality.
02 Collagen
Collagen, a structural protein, is an essential micronutrient for joint cartilage and connective tissue: it occurs naturally in all cartilage, where it forms fibers that are both strong and elastic, and is also a key component of connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons. Since the body is unable to produce collagen on its own, it must regularly obtain the protein through diet.
03 Hemp Leaf Powder
As a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in mammals, CBD is also found in hemp leaf powder. Made from the leaves of the hemp plant, the powder is enriched with various nutrients, such as minerals and antioxidants, and also contains a wide range of vitamins, including vitamins A and C. This composition promotes muscle relaxation, which in turn reduces stress on the joints and supports their function. By boosting metabolism, it can also help reduce inflammation in the body.
04 Rosehip Peels
Rich in vitamins D, P, K, B1, B2, B3, C, and provitamin A , the rosehipis a true vitamin powerhouse, making it arguably the most interesting local alternative to superfoods that are usually sourced from far away. The naturally occurring galactolipid also promotes collagen production.
05 Stinging Nettle
Growing up to one and a half meters tall, the stinging nettle—with its 30 to 70 species—is found almost worldwide and is considered an edible, time-tested natural remedy and home remedy. It contains numerous vitamins, including high concentrations of vitamin C, minerals such as calcium and magnesium, trace elements, and iron. Overall, stinging nettle has a positive effect on metabolism andpromotes blood circulation.
06 Devil's Claw
This medicinal plant, native to Namibia and South Africa, contains glycosides such as harpagoside and harpagide, which can support the function of the musculoskeletal system. Devil's Claw also promotes metabolism in joints, tendons, and ligaments; it is particularly effective when combined with frankincense and green-lipped mussel, which are also included in the formula.
07 MSM
Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM for short, is an organic sulfur compound naturally produced by the body that helps maintain cartilage mass and promotes flexibility. In addition, MSM improves the permeability of cell membranes and thus also metabolism: nutrients can be better absorbed by the cells, ensuring that muscles and joints are adequately supplied with energy, supporting muscle growth and preventing muscle breakdown.
08 Glucosamine
As a substance that occurs naturally in the body , glucosamine is an amino sugar that plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of cartilage tissue. It is a building block of proteoglycan molecules, which are crucial for the structure and elasticity of cartilage. By providing glucosamine, the body can promote the synthesis of these molecules, which in turn contributes to the formation and repair of cartilage tissue. Additionally , the amino sugar supports the production of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints and enables them to function smoothly.
09 Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate is also one of the substances that occur naturally in the bodies of mammals and contains sulfur-containing amino acids, which in turn are essential building blocks of the body’s cartilage molecules. When supplemented, it helps maintain the natural condition of the joints and slow the breakdown of cartilage tissue. Combined with collagen, it also supports the resilience of cartilage.
10 Frankincense
Whether in Ayurveda, in the teachings of Hildegard von Bingen, in ancient Rome and Greece, or in ancient Egypt—the air-dried gum resin extracted from various species of the Boswellia tree has left its mark on the history of medicine and is still used today. The main components of the resin include essential boswellic acids, which inhibit an enzyme responsible for inflammatory processes in the body.
