| Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural component of connective tissue and synovial (joint) fluid in both man and horses. Synovial fluid is a thick, clear fluid that lubricates and cushions joints. When synovitis or joint inflammation occurs in horses, the synovial becomes thin and watery, losing its lubricating and cushioning effect. Injecting HA into the joint is one of the best methods available for restoring the normal characteristics of synovial fluid and healing inflamed joint tissue.
