Product description:
Hyaluronic acid (also called sodium hyaluronate, or HA) is a protein component of connective tissue belonging to a family of proteins known as glycosaminoglycans. The main purpose of glycosaminoglycans is to aid in the body's water maintenance, providing essential moisture for all the body processes, and for molecular transport. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan with anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous properties, whose function is to cushion and lubricate. HA occurs naturally throughout the human body and is a key component of cartilage concentrated in the synovial joint fluids (where it acts as a lubricant, shock absorber, metabolic medium and filter), the heart valves, in subcutaneous (skin) tissue where it functions is as a cementing agent, and the eyes (the ocular vitreous body). In its role as cartilage component, HA is used to help cushion and lubricate joints. HA exists naturally in most living organisms (except plants) and is a universal component of the extra cellular space.
As a supplement, HA is a white, odorless powder also known as hyaluronan. The hyaluronic acid that is used by medical practitioners is taken from rooster combs or made by bacteria in the laboratory. Hyaluronic acid is utilized by people for various joint disorders, including osteoarthritis. It can be taken orally or injected into the affected joint by a healthcare professional. Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in maintaining and regulating moisture with the tissues and is a key factor in the movement of nutrients into the cells and the disposal of metabolic waste. Optimum levels of hyaluronic acid are of paramount importance for the health of the joints and cartilage. HA also reinforces the immune system by acting as an antioxidant, holding water in the body, and lubricating heart valves.
