LubriSyn HA is an odorless, tasteless, colorless oral gel with hyaluronic acid as its main component. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring part of tissues and is a primary constituent of synovial fluid, the viscous substance that lubricates joints and allows two adjacent cartilage caps to glide upon one another with minimal friction.
Daily use of LubriSyn HA avoids the peaks and valleys associated with HA injections by maintaining a consistent bio-available serum level. An oral product is also less invasive to the animal, safer to administer and more easily transported. Intra-articular injections carry risks of synovial "flare," or pain near the injection site, and the possible degradation of healthy performance. LubriSyn HA provides a consistent, stable and proven supplement that can be administered with none of the risks or side effects prevalent with injection products.
When HA is given orally, there are no side effects. As a naturally occurring substance, LubriSyn HA will not show up in post-competition testing. LubriSyn HA is used by the world's top thoroughbred racehorses.
Maintenance: 1/2 ounce [15ml] per 1200 lbs once daily. Quantity can be doubled for initial 7 days or prior to competition.
Initial Load Period: LubriSyn HA may be administered at double (30 ml) the daily maintenance level for an initial loading period of five days or more. Horses with joint health issues may benefit from an extended initial loading period of up to 14 days.
Pre-Performance Load: LubriSyn HA may be administered at double (30 ml) the daily maintenance level for a pre-performance loading period of three days or more.
All amounts may be doubled for hard-working dogs.
