As the pre-eminent, cutting edge joint supplement company in the world for people, dogs and horses, we are committed to sharing our intimate understanding of joint nutrition with others. Armed with the information herein you will be able to more effectively manage and prevent osteoarthritis and joint pain. We also hope this information will help reduce the overuse of veterinary non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID’s) used to try and control joint pain.

 

No pain medication will ever help preserve or protect joint cartilage or the synovial membrane surrounding the joint, nor will they maintain or increase synovial fluid production; which is the primary physiological process that prevents degeneration of articular cartilage.

 

As most people already know, the vast majority of joint pain is caused by osteoarthritis, which is basically ‘wear and tear’ of the articular cartilage that covers and protects the bone ends inside joints. Many think that osteoarthritis is a disease that only afflicts older animals and people, but that’s not true; osteoarthritis can also manifest in younger animals and people, too.

 

When it comes to combating and preventing osteoarthritis the #1 mistake people make is that they WAIT until joint pain arises and the cartilage protecting the bone ends inside the joint has already been damaged before beginning a hyaluronic acid based joint supplement program. This is absolutely the wrong approach if you want to prevent cartilage degeneration. Preservation of existing joint cartilage is how you ward off and prevent osteoarthritis and joint pain. It is always easier to try and prevent a joint problem from occurring than it is to try and fix one.
