HyaFlex™ is hyaluronic acid (HA) in solution for
oral administration. The hyaluronic acid in HyaFlex™ is one of the
purest and highest in molecular weight. The molecular weight is no less
than 2.4 million Dalton’s. HyaFlex™ oral HA helps to support your dog's
joint, skin, eye and gum health.
Key features:
- Maintains healthy joint mobility and flexibility
- Maintains healthy joint function
- Maintains healthy cartilage function
Directions for use
Add one (1) ml (full dropper) one time daily or as recommended per body weight of the dog or small animal.
Directions for storage and warnings
Store at room temperature. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN. DO NOT USE IF SEAL IS BROKEN. FOR SMALL ANIMAL ORAL USE
ONLY – NOT FOR INJECTION USE.
Further directions
To avoid contamination of product, use caution
when removing the dropper from bottle avoiding contact with any surface
or other object other than the inside of the bottle.
Frequently asked questions
What does HA do for my dog's joints?
The HA in HyaFlex™ helps to improve joint
movement and cushioning. If we compare the joints of your dog's body to
and automobile engine, the joint fluid in their body mimics the oil in a
car engine. At regular intervals we replace the oil in our car engines
because the heat and friction breakdown the oils viscosity. The oil
becomes thinner and less able to protect the metal surfaces from
excessive wear. HyaFlex™ acts the same way in our joints. As your dog
ages, the viscosity of their joint fluid breaks down and becomes thin
and is unable to cushion the joint cartilage. This leads to increased
friction on the cartilage surfaces of their joints. Taking HyaFlex™
helps maintain the normal viscosity of joint fluid.
What if my dog doesn't have joint issues?
If you are not currently experiencing joint
issues then HyaFlex™ may be used to provide benefits in the long run.
Just as we change the oil in our car to help stop problems, taking
HyaFlex™ may help your dogs by maintaining proper joint fluid viscosity.
Also, hyaluronic acid production slows down considerably as dogs age,
which accounts in part for the wrinkling of the skin, and the joint
issues, so it makes good sense to compensate with HA.
How do I give HyaFlex™ to my dog?
Just administer the specified amount (shown on
the side of the box) of HyaFlex™ to your dog once daily. HyaFlex™ is
odorless and tasteless so your dog won’t even notice it. Each bottle of
HyaFlex™ contains a 30-60 day supply depending on the weight of your
dog.
Where does the hyaluronic acid in HyaFlex™ come from?
The hyaluronic acid in HyaFlex™ comes from an
extracellular protein produced by natural fermentation. This product is
not derived from any animal source. Hypersensitivity reactions should
not be a concern.
Do doctors and veterinarians use hyaluronic acid?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid has been directly
injected by needle into affected joints. This has yielded great results
by immediately increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid and restoring
proper lubrication and cushioning. More work has been done in the field
of orthopedics, cosmetic and eye surgery.
Because it is an acid, will it burn my or my dog's skin or stomach?
Hyaluronic acid is often called an acid and
this is a misnomer. Hyaluronic acid as a sodium salt (sodium
hyaluronate) will have a neutral pH measurement; not an acidic pH
measurement. Because of the water retention capacity of hyaluronic acid,
it is actually a very good moisturizer for the skin and is being used
in many facial cream and body lotions.
