Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid

Joint lubrication and tissue hydration

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found throughout the body, particularly in connective tissues, skin, and synovial fluid surrounding the joints. It plays an important role in maintaining hydration and elasticity in these tissues.

In joints, hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscosity and elasticity of synovial fluid, helping to support smooth, friction-free movement and normal joint function. This is especially relevant in animals with increased physical demands.

In the skin and other tissues, hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture and supports hydration at a cellular level. Proper tissue hydration contributes to maintaining skin elasticity, barrier function, and overall tissue integrity (Nutrition Journal, 2016; Plickert, 2013).
