Joint Health SupportContains sodium hyaluronate, a clinically studied and absorbable form of hyaluronic acidProvides 140 mg of sodium hyaluronate per dayHyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polymer found in all tissues of the body. It is particularly concentrated in the skin and synovial fluid and is made up of alternating N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucuronate units. The functions of this polymer include attracting and retaining water in the extracellular matrix of tissues and in synovial fluid, which helps support joint health. In nature, hyaluronic acid is a high molecular weight compound ranging in size from 500,000 to 6 million daltons, which is too large to be absorbed in the small intestine. Sodium hyaluronate is a source of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid produced by fermentation. In a pharmacokinetic study, oral administration of this form of hyaluronic acid led to its incorporation into joints, connective tissue, and skin, with a particular affinity for cartilaginous joints. Regarding joints, hyaluronic acid particularly supports healthy lubrication and shock absorption. Furthermore, in vitro studies demonstrate that hyaluronic acid modulates prostaglandin production, providing additional support for joint function.
