Hyaluronic acid 50mg - 60 capsules

Highly bioavailable hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is not only crucial for smooth and fresh skin, but also the main component of the joint fluid and acts as a lubricant in all joint movements. Their main function is to regulate the nutrient transport of the extra-cellular matrix (space between cells) in the body.

Other properties of hyaluronic acid are:

• Water retention: Each gram can bind up to 6 liters of water. The vitreous body of the eye consists of 98% water, which is bound to only 2% hyaluronic acid.
• Pressure resistance: Water is practically incompressible and passes this property on to tissues containing hyaluronic acid, e.g. the nucleus of the intervertebral discs, which can carry such large parts of the body weight.
• Lubricating function: Hyaluronic acid is the main component of synovial fluid and acts as a lubricant in all joint movements.
• Hyaluronic acid transports nutrients wherever the blood vessels end (e.g. inside the joints)
• It is responsible for the removal of metabolic end products from tissue with poor blood supply (e.g. in typical problem areas)

Hyaluronic acid production

When buying hyaluronic acid, pay close attention to where it comes from. It is often made from cockscombs or cow's eyes.

Fairvital hyaluronic acid is obtained through fermentation strong>. This manufacturing process not only guarantees that the product contains no animal components, but also that the hyaluronic acid molecules can be easily absorbed by the body. The specific properties of hyaluronic acid (e.g. water binding, pressure resistance, viscosity) are not lost - in contrast to nano products.

Occurrence of hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is present throughout the body, over 50% is in the skin. It is produced by the skin itself through connective tissue cells in the subcutis. Hyaluronic acid is the main component of the filling material between the skin cells (connective tissue matrix) and supports collagen and elastin fibers and structural proteins. It can increase its volume many times over, like a sponge, thanks to its enormous storage capacity for moisture.
The hyaluronic acid level already drops from the mid-30s, which is a natural sign of aging.

Hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid

Hyaluronic acid is the main component of synovial fluid. In addition, it can also be found to a considerable extent in the articular cartilage itself. Hyaluronic acid is a long-chain, high-molecular substance that has a high viscosity due to its structure. This means that it is not thin like water, but rather flows viscously like liquid honey. When the joint moves, this toughness/viscosity prevents the lubricating fluid from being squeezed out of the joint space and the lubricating film from breaking off. In addition to its high viscosity, hyaluronic acid has the special property that its flow properties change depending on its stress.
