INGREDIENTS

Hyaluronic acid: it is a gel-like water holding molecule that is the space filler and cushioning
agent in all mammals and an important component of joint fluid.
It is distributed widely throughout connective, epithelial, neural tissues and intracellular
fluids including the aqueous and vitreous humour of the eye. Found naturally in the synovial
joints, it owns a key role in musculoskeletal structure as a cushioning and lubricating agent
between joint surfaces against mechanical and chemical damage, while providing rigidity
to vertebrae.
Lubrication of the joints and protective action of the cartilage, as well as anti-inflammatory
action are found to be the mechanisms of action of hyaluronic acid.
As a visco-supplement, hyaluronic acid is a valued therapeutic agent in fields as diverse as
orthopaedics, dermatology, ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose, throat), and dentistry.
