HyaMax brand HA, is a low Dalton weight Sodium Hyaluronate for optimal absorption and utilization, which helps to moisturize skin and support skin elasticity as well as maintain proper joint & connective tissue functions* We've added Salvia hispanica and lecithin as synergists to enhance the absorption of Hyaluronic Acid. * HA supplementation may help to reduce the appearance of age lines around the eyes, face and neck, as well as support joint and muscle comfort.

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide chain of repeating disaccharide units. It is found throughout the body where it serves as part of the supporting structure in the extracellular space. It is found most abundantly in cartilage, synovial fluid, skin, and the aqueous humor in the eye. The disaccharide moiety consists of sodium acetyl glucosamine and sodium glucuronate. Hyaluronic acid is obtained from rooster combs or from bacterial fermentation (Davinci Labs product). The source and preparation method determine the molecular weight, which varies between 90,000 and 5,000,000 daltons for injectible forms of HA. The primary therapeutic effects of hyaluronic acid are physical lubricating and cushioning. The viscosity of hyaluronic acid increases as the concentration, molecular weight, and polysaccharide chain length increase.

In addition to its physiochemical properties, hyaluronic acid might act as an antioxidant and modulate the immune system. Some research suggests it might prevent the breakdown of natural cushioning barriers in joint. Hyaluronic acid seems to bind to cellular receptors on located on the surface membrane of cartilage and other cell types, possibly modulating immune response and improving wound healing. In osteoarthritis, hyaluronic acid might inhibit the release of enzymes that contribute to the breakdown of cartilage. In promoting wound healing, hyaluronic acid might improve blood flow, regulate inflammatory processes, and promote formation of granulation tissue. In addition, hyaluronic acid improves hydration of the wound margins.
