 Non-animal source of Hyaluronic Acid for maximum joint support.
Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in the structure and proper performance of joints.
It is the substance that helps maintain, lubricate, and cushion the body's joints. Many
clinicians have come to believe that supplementation with hyaluronic acid may play a
crucial role in maintaining joint health as we age. Most hyaluronic acid available is
obtained from rooster comb or other animal-derived sources. The hyaluronic acid in Flex H.A.
is derived from a fermented source, contains no animal products and is suitable for
vegetarian diets.
DESCRIPTION
Flex H.A. provided by Douglas Laboratories, supplies 30 mg of non-animal source hyaluronic acid
in each tablet.
FUNCTIONS
As joints age, hyaluronic acid, the fluid that provides lubrication between joints and
connective tissue, begins to break down. Hyaluronic acid(HA) is a
large polysachharide found in connective tissue. HA forms large, bulky molecular chains that allow joints
to move smoothly and provides a cushion between the joints. Over time, this fluid begins to lose its
bulkiness and often leaks from the joints, with the resulting friction causing discomfort. While much of
the medical focus has been on alleviating the inflammation of aging joints, newer technologies
focus on supplanting the aging fluid with newer fluid. The use of injected hyaluronic acid for aging joints is
already sanctioned by the American College of Rheumatology.
However, since the inconvenience
and discomfort of injections can often keep patients from seeking this procedure, new research has
focused on using oral forms of hyaluronic acid. Initial (but as of yet unpublished) studies on horses
and humans indicate that the oral form of HA may be useful for joint health. While more studies are
needed to determine the mechanism of action and absorption of HA from the blood, the initial studies
indicate a potential use for oral HA in joint health.
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 1-2 tablets daily or as directed by physician.
SIDE EFFECTS
