What It Does
Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance found in our joints, eyes, and tissues. It is most commonly known for its use in cosmetic treatments, but can also be used therapeutically to improve joint health and function.
How It Works
It speeds up healing and decreases inflammation and swelling. Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1000x it’s weight in water and is beneficial in holding water and creating space in the knees. This can be beneficial in the bone-on-bone pain of osteoarthritis and create space to allow for a decrease in inflammation.
