Hyaluronic acid is a fundamental compound that your body naturally produces. About half of your body's supply is found in your skin within the dermis and epidermis, but it is also concentrated in your synovial fluid, joints and tendons, skeletal tissues, heart valves, lungs and the membranes and lenses of your eyes.
Research shows hyaluronic acid acts as a shock absorber, providing hydration and lubrication to your joints for comfortable, flexible movement. By helping to fill the space within your tissues and between your cells, HA supports the growth of cartilage and bone and helps maintain the integrity of your cells. Unfortunately, your body's natural production of hyaluronic acid declines by as much as 50% by the time you reach age 50. HA oral supplements typically aren't absorbed well because they quickly broken down in your gastrointestinal tract. .
But Dr. Mercola has found a way to help you overcome that major limitation by using LipoVantage™ technology. Liposomal Hyaluronic Acid combines Hyaluronic Acid with protective liposomes in a stable powder form to provide a multi-layer coating to protect the hyaluronic acid until it reaches your small intestines where it is absorbed into your bloodstream, and an enhanced ability for the active ingredients to reach your cells and tissues directly for greater absorption and utilization, extended-release properties to the hyaluronic acid for maximum benefit and minimal adverse effects.
