Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic is also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate, a naturally occurring substance in the human body, with the highest concentrations being found in the eyes, skin and joints. Hyaluronic acid is used for a variety of ailments including:

• Joint pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Wound healing
• Skin moisturizer
• Treatment for burns

As we age, the fluid in our joints breaks down leading to wear and pain. Supplementing with hyaluronic acid helps to maintain normal joint fluid thickness for optimal cushioning and lubrication.

In the eyes, hyaluronic acid provides shock absorption and also aids to deliver nutrients to the eyeball. As we age, our eyes do not produce as much hyaluronic acid, thus requiring an outside source to maintain proper eye health and function.

Hyaluronic acid and collagen are vital to maintaining healthy skin. Hyaluronic acid nourishes and keeps collagen hydrated, allowing skin to maintain its elasticity and proper moisture. As we age, our skin loses its high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, which can lead to wrinkles and dry skin.
