Successful joint lubrication plays a vital role in preventing cartilage damage and the progression of osteoarthritis. Factors such as age, overuse, and injury can create inflammation which has a direct impact on the quality of natural lubrication provided by synovial fluid, resulting in an increase in friction. How best to manage this synovial fluid breakdown is a key concern for equine athletes. 

Historically, the go-to joint therapy treatment has been Hyaluronic Acid (HA). 

HA can contribute to natural joint lubrication as a key component in synovial fluid. However, HA rapidly breaks down in the presence of inflammation, becoming ineffective at the pivotal moment cartilage needs friction protection. This has resulted in the cyclical practice of injecting HA back into an inflamed joint. However, recent research questions its effectiveness to successfully address the problem for any valuable period. But due to the lack of lubricating therapies, it has remained the conventional treatment regardless of the question of efficacy. 

Until now.
