Dogs want to run - regardless of breed, size and age. Every dog loves to run, to chase a ball and to try and catch it if they can. But what if their movement is slow? Restricted? Is your dog reluctant to move, does he have trouble getting up and lying down, is he less than enthusiastic when you take out the lease, can he no longer jump in the car? All of these may be the first signs of joint disease (osteoarthritis) and its associated pain. Motion in harmony relies on the smooth interaction of bones, muscles and ligaments and joints. Hyaluronic acid is the major component of the "joint lubricant" and is the key substance needed to preserve smooth joint function. Due to its tremendous ability to bind water (1 g hyaluronic acid can bind up to 6 liters of water), it serves as a buffer in the joints and ensures smooth movement. In diseased joints, the hyaluronic acid production is reduced, but this can also be caused by also heavy workloads and advancing age where the proportion of hyaluronic acid in the joint is reduced. Vicano OrthoHyl HA supreme plus Kollagen is a new, unique combination of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and bioactive collagen peptides for cartilage protection.
