Gregory Chanlder -- Hyaluronic Acid for Joint Lubrication

I often write about supplementing with oils such as flaxseed oil or fish oil for joint lubrication.

Another means to lubricate the joints is with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is used to support joint and skin health. HA, a gel-like substance is found in connective tissue such as skin and cartilage. The synovial fluid that protects our joints is largely made up of HA and acts as a lubricant, shock absorber and nutrient carrier.

HA may support healthy joint lubrication, help maintain smooth, healthy skin and may support wound healing and eye health.

By age 50, most individuals are estimated to have less than half the level of HA as a 20 year old. One can supplement with HA to restore youthful levels.
