Hyaluronic acid (URONIC ACID) is a polysaccharide with beta bonds that performs a structural function. This substance is produced naturally by our body mainly by the skin.
Its function in the human body is, among others, to bind to water and lubricate the moving parts of the body such as joints and muscles. Because of its viscous consistency, it also has a beneficial buffering effect on injuries such as osteoarthritis and rheumatism.
Hyaluronic acid injected with the synovial liquid is applied for internal regeneration. This technique is called viscosupplementation.
PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS HA.
The joints contain HA in a natural way and, as the years go by, it's drastically reduced. This leads to discomfort and disease. One of the treatments of hyaluronic acid used and mixed with the synovial fluid as a lubricant in the knees, elbows and phalanges has analgesic properties of cushioning and regeneration of cartilage in the elderly and athletes with problems of wear.
