Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a protein (polyelectrolyte - a charged polymer) that occurs naturally throughout the human body and is concentrated in the synovial joint fluids, the heart valves and the eyes. Hyaluronic acid belongs to a family of proteins known as glycosaminoglycans and is a key component of cartilage.
In supplemental form HA is a white, odorless powder also known as hyaluronan, sodium hyaluronate and HA.
Hyaluronic acid is versatile and is found in every tissue.
Its primary use in the body is as a component of cartilage. In this role, HA is used to help cushion and lubricate joints. HA also supports healthy immune function by acting as an antioxidant, holding water in the body, and lubricating heart valves.
