Replenishing Hyaluronic Acid In The Racing Equine

Equine sports medicine specialist develops system of daily HA dosage

A top equine veterinarian has developed a daily oral supplement that could provide joint mobility benefits, day after day. Dr. Steven Allday, a specialist in equine sports medicine, originally developed LubriSyn™ (sodium hyaluronate) for the thoroughbred racehorses he treated in Kentucky. This tasteless, odorless, colorless gel, which is given daily, is now being administered to all breeds of horses. With its liquid state and high molecular weight, LubriSyn is easily absorbed by the body and is ideal for increasing the viscosity of synovial fluid.

Steady levels of HA are vital to horses’ mobility

Daily doses of LubriSyn help eliminate highs and lows in HA levels. Maintaining steadily high levels of HA in the body can better maintain healthy joints and extend the careers of working horses by improving the viscosity of the fluid that cushions their joints.

After seeing the results of treating many horses and conferring with other veterinarians, Dr. Allday was convinced that improving horses’ synovial fluid improved their performance. After extensive testing to determine the amount of HA that elicits the optimal response, Dr. Allday developed the current formulation of LubriSyn to allow horses the benefits of HA every day.

“Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the best way to circulate nutrients to improve joint health. Nothing works more directly than HA,” said LubriSyn’s developer. Dr. Allday has treated several recipients of the “Thoroughbred Horse of the Year” award, as well as many winners of Triple Crown races.

LubriSyn has applications for all breeds and ages of horses

LubriSyn has multiple applications in all ages and all athletic disciplines. Race horses, reining horses, cutting horses, hunters, jumpers, dressage – any horse doing more than walking around the field is at risk for joint damage. Daily use of LubriSyn can help your horse have improved joint health. While many of the HA products on the market are made from sources such as rooster combs, LubriSyn is extracted from a microbial source, keeping the product free from any type of contamination.

LubriSyn is easy to use and affordable

As a daily oral supplement, LubriSyn gives owners more flexibility and control over their animals’ care. An entire month’s dosage costs far less than a single injection, and LubriSyn is easily stored and transported. This patented oral HA product is manufactured by Halstrum, LLC in Simpsonville, Kentucky.

Champions of all equine disciplines use LubriSyn™ for maintenance of joint health. More information is available at www.lubrisyn.com and your local Seminole Feed Dealer.
