Supports synovial fluid, cartilage and skin
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is a naturally occurring polymer found in every tissue of the body.
It is particularly concentrated in the skin (almost fifty percent of all HA in the body is
found in the skin) and in synovial fluid. The body's hyaluronic acid content decreases
with aging, due either to reduced synthesis or as a result of being redistributed in
tissues. Both mechanisms decrease the availability and capability of HA to maintain
healthy skin and joints. HA is composed of alternating units of n-acetyl-d-glucosamine
and d-glucuronate. Pure Encapsulations HA is derived from rooster comb. HA may also be
derived from bacterial fermentation but this form is not considered to be as pure or
have the safety profile of rooster comb HA.
Some forms of rooster comb HA consist of
large molecular weight compounds ranging in size from 500,000 to 6,000,000 daltons.
Because this is too large to be absorbed in the intestines, HA found in Pure Encapsulations
formula undergoes a sophisticated, patent-pending enzymatic process that alters the
molecular weight of the material but not the chemical composition. The final result
is an easily absorbed HA polymer with a molecular weight of 5,000 daltons. This
polymer's functions include attracting and retaining water in the extracellular matrix of
tissues, in the layers of skin, and in synovial fluid. For skin cells, this is essential
for proper cell-to-cell communication, hydration, nutrient delivery, and waste and toxin
elimination.
HA also appears to support the skin by promoting healthy turnover and renewal
of keratinocytes, moderating the appearance of fine lines and age spots. For joints,
HA is especially supportive of healthy lubrication and shock absorption. Furthermore,
in vitro studies indicate that HA modulates prostaglandin production, providing
additional support for joint function. In an animal study, low molecular weight HA
demonstrated the ability to be absorbed orally. Subjective evaluations conducted by
scientists at a Japanese university involved 96 individuals. The reports suggest an
enhancement of skin and joint health using low molecular weight HA. A number of anecdotal
and preliminary results also indicate a positive effect on skin and joint health.
Pure Encapsulations low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid derived from rooster comb
provides support for a healthy and youthful appearance by hydrating and smoothing the
skin in addition to moderating the appearance of fine lines and age spots. Hyaluronic
acid also supports joint function and comfort by promoting healthy synovial fluid composition
and joint lubrication.
