Hyaluronic Acid or "HA"-
What is it?
Hyaluronic acid, also known by the short form "HA",
is a naturally occurring polymer of disachharides, sometimes
referred to as the "goo" molecule, found throughout
the extra cellular matrix. Hyaluronic acid functions
as a primary component of synovial fluid, the friction-reducing
joint lubricant. It also helps to make the cartilage
between bones more elastic. HA levels decrease as your
horse ages and with strain, stress and compression joint
problems often occur. HA is considered highly biocompatible
and has been used successfully for years to promote
opthalmic healing and in the treatment of osteoarthritic
conditions.
Hyaluronic Acid + Glucosamine and
Chondroitin
Cenflex HA+
works by raising the available levels of HA in the body
to adequately supply the joints. Glucosamine and Chrondroitin
primarily work with the tendons and cartilage tissue
to stimulate collagen development and help reduce inflammation.
Glucosamine and Chrondroitin work synergistically together
with HA to improve cartilage integrity and joint fluid
levels. There is the added benefit of having a probiotic
formula with the EQUZYME, thus ensuring that the product
will be properly metabolized by the horse's body.
Veterinarians use HA
Veterinarians use HA through direct injection into the
joint suffering from HA loss. Joint fluid viscosity,
and its cushioning ability, is rapidly increased to
help restore the horse's healthy movement. More and
more Veterinarians are recognizing and using orally
in jested HA as a method of increasing the availability
of HA to the joints. They have found that daily application
takes away the performance peaks and valleys associated
with injections and in many cases reducing the need
for injections.
Your horse can benefit from HA
Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in the horse's
body. As a horse ages, or is under the stress of exercise
and performance its ability to produce HA diminishes.
From a mechanical point of view, anything with moving
parts, such as a car engine, will experience friction
wear and damage when the viscosity of the lubricant
breaks down. It only makes sense that the joints in
your horse's body will also suffer wear and potentially
irreversible damage from the inability of its body to
produce the required levels of HA. Administering HA
can help promote vital joint lubrication and support
healthy joint function.
Cenflex HA+
Cenflex HA has no known side effect and is safe to use
at competitions or major equine events.
