Hyaluronic acid with high bioavailability: the secret for young skin and healthy joints

Hyaluronic acid is not only crucial for a smooth and fresh skin, but it is also the main component of the synovial fluid and acts as a lubricant during all joint movements. Its main function is to regulate the nutrient transport of the extracellular matrix (intercellular space) in the body.

Further properties of hyaluronic acid:

• Water storage: Every gram is able to bind up to 6 litres of water. For example, the vitreous body of the eye consists of 98% water, which is bound to only 2% hyaluronic acid.
• Hyaluronic acid is crucial for a smooth and fresh skin
• Pressure resistance: Water is virtually not compressible and it passes this property on to tissues rich in hyaluronic acid, for example the core of intervertebral disc, which is able to carry large parts of the body weight.
• Lubricating function: Hyaluronic acid is the main component of the synovial fluid and acts as a lubricant during all joint movements.
• Hyaluronic acid is responsible for the nutrient transport in areas of the body where the blood vessels end (for example the inside of the joints).
• It is also responsible for the removal of metabolic products from tissues without a good blood supply (for example the typical problem areas)

Fermentation-derived hyaluronic acid

When you buy hyaluronic acid, pay attention to the source from which it is derived. Often times hyaluronic acid is made from rooster combs or cow’s eyes.

Hyaluronic acid by Fairvital is produced by fermentation. This production process not only guarantees that the product is free from any animal-based constituents, but also that the body is able to absorb the hyaluronic acid molecules properly. Unlike nano products, this product retains the specific properties of the hyaluronic acid (e.g. water binding, pressure resistance, viscosity).

Study about the resorption of hyaluronic acid

The result of clinical study from 2004 proves that the body resorbs hyaluronic acid already after a single oral administration, which is then transported to the organs and joints. The scientist calculated that after a single intake of 3mg, approx. 4.5 billion hyaluronic acid molecules reach both knees. The study conducted by Dr. Schauss involved not only a consortium of scientists of the Life Sciences Division of the American Institute for Biosocial and Medical Research, but also the National Research Institute for Radiobiology and Radiation Hygiene and the National Institute for Health in Budapest.

Hyaluronic acid for the skin

Hyaluronic acid occurs in the entire body and over 50% can be found in the skin. It is produced in the skin itself, by subcutaneous connective tissue cells.
Hyaluronic acid is the main component of the filling material between the skin cells (connective tissue matrix) and it stabilises collagen and elastin fibres as well as structural proteins. It is able to enlarge its volume many times over like a sponge, due to its enormous moisture storage capacity, and it bolsters up the skin from within.
The hyaluronic acid levels starts to decrease in the mid-thirties, which can result in natural signs of aging (e.g. wrinkles).
Dermatological studies proved that hyaluronic acid is able to promote the visible smoothing of expression lines (forehead, mouth and nose).

Hyaluronic acid for the joints

Studies showed that hyaluronic acid is able to promote the regeneration of the superficial cartilage layers and the densification of the cartilage cells. Furthermore, the study could prove that hyaluronic acid is able to stimulate the formation of cartilage substances.

Hyaluronic acid is the main component of the synovial fluid and significant amounts of hyaluronic acid also occur in the articular cartilage. It is a long-chain, high-molecular substance, which has a high viscosity due to its structure. It means that is not as liquid as water, but more viscous like honey. During joint movements, this viscosity prevents the lubricant from being squeezed out of the joint line, which would cause the lubricating film to break. Apart from its viscosity, the flow properties of hyaluronic acid can change depending on the strain put on them.
