Herbs For Horses – Hyalcare Plus

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (carbohydrate) that holds moisture between cells. Synovial fluid declines with age, excessive exercise and under some disease conditions such as osteoarthritis. It can be successfully supplemented by injection (Vet) or through the feed and is efficacious and approved for use by both methods by Health Canada. It is derived from chicken combs or may be grown like beer in stainless-steel vats using micro-organism synthesis. HA improves both the viscosity (cushioning) and the lubricating action of the joints. Hence its growing popularity in the Hunter-Jumper World.

HA is also of significant importance for tissue repair such as tendons, ligaments, bones, and cartilage; hence its importance to equine locomotion. It is also found surrounding cells where it acts as a transport system for nutrients and wastes. In the immune system HA aids in the initial promotion, regulation and ultimate resolution of inflammation.

The supplement world is replete with scams and fraud so take care to choose products from reputable companies that invest in and publish peer reviewed research at your tax-supported Universities. GMP, HACCP & ISO manufactured products would be a good place to start!
