Why does my pet need a hyaluronic acid supplement?
Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body as a constituent of synovial fluid that lubricates the cartilage between the joints. As your pet ages, their body produces less and less HA and it becomes more and more difficult to replenish it. With osteoarthritis, the cartilage and other structures of the joint begin to break down. In some small animals, a small amount of inflammation breaks down the hyaluronic acid so that proper lubrication is lost. Joints become stiff and movement is painful. HA supplements pick up where their bodies fail them.
