  •  ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
  • JOINT MAINTENANCE & FLUID VSICOSITY
  • INCREASED JOINT MOBILITY
  • DECREASES JOINT CONCUSSION
  • INDICATIONS FOR HA USE

BioVial – High Molecular Weight HA

Each 10ml vial contains 1000mg Sodium Hyaluronate

High Molecular Weight HA – 3.2 million Dalton

Recommended Use:

HA should be used as part of your veterinarian’s planned maintenance protocol for your sports horse. We recommend using it quarterly to ensure that your horse’s joints maintain optimal cushioning, nutrition, lubrication and performance.

BioVial is either packaged 6 per box or sold as individual vials as required.

Benefits:

  • Provides comfort and greater cushioning in the joint for longer.
  • Better joint nutrition through optimal HA levels and molecular structure. (Cartilage feeds as nutrients are pulled into it post loading phase of a joint)
  • Regular use limits inflammatory build up in joints, therefore preventing degeneration of cartilage and synovial tissue.
  • Higher bioavailability rate, than most oral supplements
  • Eliminates  loss of efficacy due to ingredients being exposed to air, moisture etc.
  • NON DOPING product as verified by the FEI Prohibited and Banned Substances list, including method of administration. (FEI Rules regarding administration of any products at recognized events must be adhered to)

Works as an anti-inflammatory

Hyaluronic Acid helps in the growth and development of joint’s cartilage and bone by promoting the growth of new cells and tissues.  HA as an important role in reducing joint inflammation and pain caused by injury, aging and tissue degeneration.

Works in the lubrication process: 

Joints naturally produce High Molecular Weight HA, which gradually reduces in quantity and viscosity with age and mechanical stressors.  Supplementing High Molecular Weight HA allows joints to rest and function optimally by providing viscous lubrication and chondro protection via molecular weight, size and viscosity.

PREVENTION & TREATMENT

Extremely valuable as a preventative modality and as a medical therapy for osteo-arthritic conditions

Per Vet Prescription

Croma Saypha – High Molecular Weight Reticulated HA

Each syringe contains 1ml reticulated HA

Contains 2.3% (23mg/ml).

Recommended Use:

HA should be used as part of your veterinarian’s planned maintenance protocol for your sports horse. Using intra-articular products for sports horses, is usually necessary for older horses with significant wear and tear, or those who have experienced injury or whose conformation predisposes them to excessive joint wear.

Saypha is of particular benefit, where there are changes in the surface level of cartilage.  Research has also shown it to be of benefit for coffin joint issues.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

Saypha is available including or without Lidocaine,  if you are competing please ensure that if the product containing Lidocaine is used that the suitable withdrawal period is adhered to in accordance with the FEIs rules.

Sapyha is packaged as one injection per box.

Benefits:

  • Provides comfort and greater cushioning in the joint for longer.
  • Better joint nutrition through optimal HA levels and molecular structure and weight (3 million dalton). (Cartilage feeds as nutrients are pulled into it post loading phase of a joint)
  • Provides protection for areas of degraded articular cartilage
  • Levels up the articular surface of cartilage, reducing the development of further lesions and damage.
  • NON DOPING (without Lidocaine) product as verified by the FEI Prohibited and Banned Substances list, including method of administration. (FEI Rules regarding administration of any products at recognized events must be adhered to)

Works as an anti-inflammatory

Hyaluronic Acid helps in the growth and development of joint’s cartilage and bone by promoting the growth of new cells and tissues.  HA gel has an important role in reducing joint inflammation and pain caused by injury, aging and tissue degeneration, reticulated HA has the additional benefit of leveling cartilagenous articular surfaces.

Works in the lubrication process: 

Joints naturally produce High Molecular Weight HA, which gradually reduces in quantity and viscosity with age and mechanical stressors.  Supplementing High Molecular Weight HA allows joints to rest and function optimally by providing viscous lubrication and chondro protection via molecular weight, size and viscosity.

TREATMENT

Extremely valuable as a treatment modality for damaged or thinning cartilage and as a medical therapy for osteo-arthritic conditions.
