Old age, repetitive movement, and genetic predispositions towards arthritis are all things that can cause severe joint pain and damage. I first heard about Hyaluronic Acid from one of my clients who had a lot of scar tissue and loss of cartilage in his knees from working for years under cars and doing tape and texture work - a lot of repetitive movement and stress on the knees. Before using the Hyaluronic Acid my clients knee joints would grind so bad that you could literally hear it - after just couple applications the grinding went away completely along with the pain!

Hyaluronic Acid is good for both your skin and joints. It is found and extracted from Cocks Comb ( that is the thing on top of a roosters head ) It is a key component in cartilage itself and is also found in Synovial Joint Fluid. Your joints are surrounded by a membrane called the synovial membrane and inside the membrane itself is the synovial joint fluid. This fluid acts not only as a lubricant for the joint cavities but a shock absorber as well. So if your body is depleted of this fluid or of cartilage itself it would only make sense to replenish it right? Did you know that our bodies are actually made up of different kinds of cartilage? The most abundant type of cartilage in our bodies is called Hyaline Cartilage. Hyaline Cartilage is what allows our bodies to move with flexibility and gives our joints support and strength. Our Cartilage is fed nutrients from the synovial joint fluid surrounding it, diseases like osteo arthritis depletes our Synovial Joint Fluid stores and the result is a further depletion in cartilage stores. So the next time those joints start giving you trouble instead of reaching for the Motrin go down to the local health food store and pick up some Hyaluronic Acid. It comes as a topical cream and as an oral supplement.
