Hyaluronic Acid

Naturally present in the human body, hyaluronic acid is highly concentrated in the skin and connective tissue in the joints. This polymer is a major component of synovial fluid that enables smooth movement of and provides cushioning for joints. Nearly 50% of all hyaluronic acid in the body is found in the skin, and this natural moisturizing agent is also present in eye fluid.

As we age, the synovial fluid that provides lubrication and reduces friction between the cartilage and joints during movement begins to decline and break down and may cause joint discomfort. By helping to thicken synovial fluid surrounding joints, hyaluronic acid protects against mechanical friction and provides lubrication and shock absorption. Research also suggests that hyaluronic acid provides further support for joint function by modulating prostaglandin production.
