This may seem like a very simplistic thing to many of you, but it is perplexing to me. I just had my Jackson given his first dose of legend yesterday. I am so excited because I think this could be yet another great answer to his health needs. However, as I watched the vet stick that little tiny bit of fluid into his big giant neck, I was forced to wonder how this tiny bit of fluid can make a positive effect on such a big animal. Is there a "lay person's" way to explain the way this chemical works its "magic"? |

Hello Gwen,
First of all there are still questions if there is a benefit from IV use, see the subtopic IV HA (In disease and as a prophylactic) in the Legend article for more. In high enough concentration however we are pretty sure there is a beneficial effect. It is explained under the subtopic, Effects of Hyaluronate on Diseased Joints in the article.

Thank you. I read the articles with the mention of questionable results. I have heard positive things about this though, and with Jack presenting with various areas of arthritis, this seems like a logical place to start rather than only injecting his hocks. It just sort of seems illogical to someone who doesn't know the details of how these things work, that such a small amount of liquid can effect areas spread out over such a large area. |
