LubriSyn 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 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
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 will not show up in post-competition
testing. LubriSyn is used by the world's top thoroughbred racehorses
Chemistry:
Sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid, hyaluronan and HA are terms for the
same glycosaminoglycan that can exist in different forms depending on their
chemical environment. This glycosaminoglycan is composed of repeating
subunits of D-Glucuronic acid and N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine connected with
glycosidic bonds. Because LubriSyn (sodium hyaluronate) is extracted from a
microbial source, it is free of dermatan, chondroitin sulfate and other
glycosaminoglycan contamination.
Pharmacology:
HA is highly bio-compatible and bio-degradable. It regulates normal
cellular constituents, decreasing the impact of exudation, enzyme release
and subsequent degradation of joint integrity.

Contraindications:
There are no known contraindications for the use of LubriSyn oral gel in
horses.
Toxicology: LubriSyn was administered at two, three and five times the recommended
maintenance dosage of 75 mg daily for 90 days with no adverse effects upon
hematology or clinical chemistry parameters observed.
Side Effects: There have been no local or systemic side effects observed in the field
trials.
Directions For Daily Oral
Equine Use:
Maintenance: 1/2 ounce (15 ml) per 1200 lbs once daily.

Peak condition means peak performance! Your best friend has over 200 joints
in his body. Healthy joint fluid keeps your dog in peak condition throughout
training and competition - and even while he's playing at home! Keep your Best
Friend Active for Life!
LubriSyn is the revolutionary joint supplement with one active
ingredient: hyaluronan (HA). Following the findings of the NIH
GAIT study, showing that glucosamine and chondroitin are no more effective than
a placebo when it comes to joint pain relief, LubriSyn is emerging as the
leading effective joint supplement on the market today.
What makes LubriSyn a joint necessity? Our unique higher molecular weight
formula ensures the integrity of the synovial fluid - the key component
for the protection and lubrication of the joints of all mammals!
