Synovate HA
Liquid Sodium Hyaluronate
Maintaining proper joint health is an important factor in the longevity of a horse’s performance career. The nutrient-rich synovial fluid is a vital component that fills the joint capsule to aid in smooth passage of one bone over another and to absorb shock from high-impact work. Sodium hyaluronate is a glycosaminoglycan that is an important structural component of joint cartilage and is responsible for the viscosity (thickness) of the synovial fluid. Synovate HA helps manage joint health proactively by preventing the loss of hyaluronic acid.

Features and Benefits
• Delivers high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate in an easy-to-administer liquid
• Hyaluronic acid plays a vital role in maintaining the health of connective tissue and optimizing normal joint function
• Contributes significantly to maintenance of cartilage health and elasticity, joint fluid viscoelasticity, and lubrication of the entire joint mechanism
• Contains anti-inflammatory properties, which are useful for high-motion joints
• Assists with supporting equine athletes through the rigors of training and competition
• Provides the nutrients that match the known attributes of hyaluronic acid found in the horse’s body
• Synovate HA uses a fermentation source of sodium hyaluronate derived from nonanimal substrates
Feeding Recommendations
For maintenance, give 0.5 oz (15 mL) per 1,100-lb (500-kg) horse per day in feed or orally. For a loading or pre-competition dose (optional), give 1 oz (30 mL) per 1,100-lb (500-kg) horse in feed or orally once daily for 7-10 days.

Does My Horse Need Joint Support?
Horses engaged in daily or near-daily exercise are prone to arthritis and other joint-related issues, just as human athletes are. To minimize wear and tear on joints and to prolong a useful and active life, joint supplementation is recommended.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate: What Are They?
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are common ingredients in joint supplements. Anecdotal evidence suggests that using these two compounds together provides greater positive effect than using either individually. Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage, and it serves as a building block for chondroitin sulfate.
