Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that exists in several forms. One of these forms is hyaluronate sodium. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the connective tissue, umbilical cord, vitreous humour, and skin of every mammal. High concentrations also exist in the synovial fluid of the joints. Hyaluronate sodium aids in the healing of degenerative joint disease. It regulates normal cellular constituents, decreasing the impact of exudation, release of enzymes, and joint integrity degradation. Hyaluronate sodium also exerts anti-inflammatory action because it inhibits the movement of macrophages and granulocytes.
When used as directed in horses, there are not any known side effects for the use of this product.
