Hyaluronic Acid is a plant-derived, pharmaceutical grade, low molecular weight and highly bioavailable hyaluronic acid which provides viscoelastic properties for joint function as well as an anti-inflammatory effect. It is essential to synovial fluid, a viscous liquid present in the articular cavity of the joint. Its function is to lubricate and nourish articular cartilage, thus reducing friction and facilitating movement of the joints. Studies show that the hyaluronic acid content in osteoarthritic cartilage is greatly reduced. Main Applications:

• Osteoarthritis.
• Supports joint mobility.
• Anti-inflammatory.
