Conquer ®
Oral Paste for Horses
|
Kinetic Technologies introduces
its patent-pending, clinically proven, sodium hyaluronate gel
for oral administration to the horse. CONQUER is a highly
concentrated, apple flavored gel administered in a single daily
dose. It can be used in any horse where supplementation with
sodium hyaluronate is indicated. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a
naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan with its highest
concentration found in soft connective tissue and joint fluid.
It is extremely important in the health and lubrication of the
joint. CONQUER is all natural, non-toxic and safe.

that helps keep joints healthy and flexible.

Recent clinical
studies have shown oral HA to be effective. In a twenty-six
horse double blind, placebo controlled study, CONQUER was found
to improve every parameter used to measure soundness (below).
All horses with pre-existing joint conditions improved while
receiving CONQUER. Fewer horses supplemented with CONQUER
were examined for lameness and trained an average of 5 more days
during the two month study.

| The CONQUER
treated group had the highest level of serum HA. The CONQUER
group was the only group to have a substantial increase in serum
HA by Day 7 (18% over baseline)
Circulating HA has been shown
to be 10 to 100 ng/ml with a half-life of two days or less. For
this reason, it is important for HA to be supplemented on a
daily basis. Benefits from CONQUER are usually observed in
seven to fourteen days.
