NOW Foods Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic Acid is a compound present in every tissue of the body, with the highest concentrations occurring in connective tissues such as skin and cartilage. Hyaluronic Acid is an important constituent of joint fluid where it serves as a lubricant and plays a role in resisting compressive forces HA is a high molecular weight polysaccharide composed of alternating molecules of N-acetyl glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid. It is a member of the glycosaminoglycan family that is found within collagen throughout the body. Unlike other types of connective tissue, HA is not linked to other proteins or sulfur. As the most important space-filling substance in the human body, HA holds more water than any other molecule in the body and is necessary to keep collagen hydrated and tissues youthful. As the most important space filling substance in the human body HA holds more water than any other molecule in the body and is necessary to keep collagen hydrated and youthful HA supports the structure of connective tissue by acting as a water magnet to maintain extra-cellular fluidity. HA forms a viscous fluid with exceptional lubricating properties necessary for the vital functions of many parts of the human body including the skin, heart valves, aqueous/vitreous portion of the eye and synovial fluid (joint cushion and lubricant). The skin contains over 50% of the body’s HA. Considering that skin is over 70% water and renews itself more frequently than most other bodily tissues, HA is absolutely vital for its structure and daily maintenance. Skin is constantly involved in cellular renewal and repair because of daily exposure to solar radiation, pressure, heat, trauma and minor wounds. MSM is an organic source of sulfur, a mineral necessary for the normal function and structure of the body. Sulfur is a raw material utilized by the body to manufacture proteins, cartilage and other connective tissues. Studies with MSM have proven it to be safe and effective for the use of various types of connective tissue needs. MSM is non-allergenic and not related to sulfa drug or sulfite allergies. 60 Vcaps Supplement Facts Serving Size 2 Vcaps® Servings Per Container 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Sodium (From Sodium Hyaluronate) 9mg <1% Hyaluronic Acid (From Sodium Hyaluronate) 100mg † MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) 900mg † † Daily Value not established Other Ingredients Cellulose (Capsule), Magnesium Stearate (Vegetable Source), Silica Ontains No Sugar, Starch, Yeast, Wheat, Gluten, Corn, Soy, Milk, Egg Or Preservatives.
