Hylamotion - The Next Generation of Joint Supplements: Over the years we at Vita Flex have introduced you to the newest and most effective joint supplements available: chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine. In keeping with our tradition, we are now proud to bring you the latest in body lubricant technology, HylaMotion. HylaMotion delivers 100 mg of premium hyaluronic acid (HA) salts per serving. Try it and you'll see - HylaMotion may be the most effective equine joint supplement available.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) - The Ultimate in Joint Lubricants: HA is one of the most abundant glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the mammalian body1, and is a major component of skin, cartilage and synovial fluid2, the shock absorbing fluid in the joints. Osteoarthritis (OA) causes a change in the HA content in the synovial fluid, which can lead to degradation of the cartilage3, causing great pain and discomfort to your horse. We asked ourselves, "If HA is the most abundant GAG, and its integrity is imperative for normal joint function, can we supplement with HA to help with the wear and tear of competition, aging and training?" We did the research and found that HA can be supplemented with positive results4 in cases of OA. From this research we bring you Hylamotion, the ultimate in joint lubricants.
Hyaluronic Acid Works and the Research Proves it: Between 1990 and today, hundreds of clinical studies have been published on the positive effects of supplemental HA. Research has shown that supplemental HA has positive effects on any number of conditions, from periodontal disease5 to skin disease6. More importantly, study after study has shown HA to have positive effects on OA, from decreased pain to reduced inflammation7,8,9. Research has proven HA to be a valuable tool in fighting the negative side effects that come with competition, aging and training.
HylaMotion - Your Choice For Oral HA: HylaMotion, by Vita Flex, is derived from natural sources and carries a molecular weight of 1.3 - 1.8 Mda. This is a very important factor when considering an HA supplement. Research has shown that the higher weight HA preparations tend to be more effective10, and many of the HA solutions on the market are as low as 0.8 Mda. When you purchase HylaMotion you can be sure your horse is getting premium, high molecular weight HA. HylaMotion is the next generation of joint supplementation, from the company that always brings you Nutrition That Works.
