Vytamyx Joint Lube supports joint lubrication and movement efficiency in horses under regular work and load. Joint function depends on synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint.
Hyaluronic acid is a key component of synovial fluid, contributing to its viscosity and ability to support smooth articulation. Joint Lube contains Sodium Hyaluronate at 15mg/mL, providing nutritional support for maintaining synovial fluid characteristics. Oral hyaluronic acid has been studied for absorption and its contribution to normal joint function.
By supporting lubrication and fluid balance within the joint, Joint Lube helps maintain ease of movement and consistency in horses under daily workload.

The Science
Vytamyx Joint Lube is formulated using sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) to support normal joint function by contributing to the viscosity and lubrication of synovial fluid.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component of joint fluid and cartilage, where it plays a role in maintaining smooth movement and cushioning under load. While injectable forms deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the joint, they are invasive and short-lived, and intravenous administration distributes widely throughout the body.
Oral delivery provides a practical, non-invasive approach, with studies demonstrating that low molecular weight hyaluronic acid can be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and contribute to circulating levels. Joint Lube is formulated at a high concentration to ensure meaningful daily intake, supporting consistent availability within the system — helping maintain normal joint lubrication, mobility and comfort in horses undergoing regular work or training.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.


The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
