Hyaluronic Acid and Joint Mobility

This is part of our ongoing The Best Kept Secrets to Healthy Aging spotlight. Each day, we will be posting some of the great information that’s packed into our book, The Best Kept Secrets to Healthy Aging.

Today’s topic:
Hyaluronic Acid and Joint Mobility

Batches of hyaluronic acid are synthesized and assembled into long chains before being secreted by articular chondrocytes (cartilage cells) and synoviocytes (cells that live in the synovial lining of the joint capsule). Regardless of its source, hyaluronic acid can be incorporated into the load-bearing sugar/protein mats of joint cartilage.

As shown in research recently published in the Journal of Physiology the unique properties of the special sugars that make up hyaluronic acid attract water and are responsible for the cushioning properties of healthy joint cartilage.3 Because the synthesis of its component sugars slows with age, the replenishment of hyaluronic acid within a joint also slows with age, creating an inevitable imbalance in the cartilage’s replenishment/replacement cycle. As the contact surfaces of the joint cartilage become depleted of hyaluronic acid, they become chronically dehydrated and lose their vital cushioning hydrostatic properties.

A large volume of published scientific research has demonstrated that adequate availability of hyaluronic acid can promote joint health and function. These conclusions have been echoed most recently in a mathematical analysis of the body of published research, itself published in the Journal of Family Practice.4 The strength of the evidence certainly argues in favor of adding hyaluronic acid to your personal joint health program.

Omega-3, Glucosamine, and Chondroitin: We knew it was a strong combination!

Published on May 5, 2010 in joint health, omega 3 fish oil, product news and sabrina's posts. 0 Comments

The benefits of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate have been well established since the GAIT study sponsored by the National Institute of Health was published in the New England Journal of Health in 2006.  The result indicated that glucosamine and chondroitin provided excellent nutritional benefits for joint health.  The Omega-3’s in fish oil are better known for their cardiovascular benefits, but it is its special ability to naturally support the body’s normal inflammatory response that has researchers examining its utility in promoting joint health.  Recently, a Berlin based study reported that combining Omega-3 fatty acids with glucosamine could be a better approach than using glucosamine alone.  Our Joint Formula Supreme is a good way for people looking to support their joint health using natural nutritional tools. The scientists in the recent study noted that the ingredients acted synergistically.  As we would have expected, the Omega 3’s were beneficial in supporting a proper inflammatory response, whereas the glucosamine sulfate played a beneficial role in the rebuilding of lost cartilage substance. Purity Products captures the magic of this combo in our new and updated Joint Formula Supreme.  With well over a full gram of our concentrated molecularly distilled fish oil, it’s not only your front-line joint formula, but it conveniently doubles as your daily fish oil supplement.
