Description

If you are searching for a product that treats both the symptoms and the underlying degenerative disease process of horse's joint problems, Adequan i.m. Single Dose may be a good choice.

First, Adequan has important anti-inflammatory effects, so it is able to provide relief from the symptoms of joint damage: heat, swelling, pain and lameness. And Adequan can be found in synovial fluid at full herapeutic levels within only two hours of an intramuscular injection. Also, Adequan is a product with potent ability to block the action of the destructive enzymes that threaten to perpetuate the joint inflammation, attack the cartilage and break down synovial fluid.

Second, Adequan stimulates the synovial membrane to manufacture new, viscous synovial fluid to replace the thin fluid that was produced when the joint became injured. By improving this fluid, Adequan helps the joint regain its ability to lubricate and guard itself against further inflammation, and helps reestablish nutrition to the cartilage. And, Adequan attaches itself to damaged cartilage where it has a positive effect on cartilage metabolism. This should favor the cartilage repair process.

Adequan is the only joint treatment proven to reduce the inflammation and pain of degenerative joint disease, but also to help stop the degenerative process while stimulating the production of new joint fluid and new cartilage components. You are no longer just treating symptoms: you're doing something to help stop the degenerative process.

Best thing I ever did for my horse
February 23, 2021
14 yr old Appendix Quarter horse
Barrel Racing

I noticed my horses performance dropping, he was not as fast. I tried different supplements, different feeds, treating for ulcers, everything. I went to my vet and they recommended Adequan, the 7 shot series. I noticed a difference after just two of the shots. After all of the shots he was a different horse, he had so much more pep! We started to get competitive again.
Pros
  • Noticeable performance difference
  • last 6 months
Cons
  • shots in the muscle
