What Is It?
What Is The Source?
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is a naturally occurring polymer
found in every tissue of the body. It is particularly
concentrated in the skin (almost 50% of all HA in the body
is found in the skin) and synovial fluid. It is composed
of alternating units of n-acetyl-d-glucosamine and
d-glucuronate. This polymer's functions include attracting
and retaining water in the extracellular matrix of tissues,
in layers of skin, and in synovial fluid.*
The source of Pure Encapsulations Hyaluronic acid is
rooster comb. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from
pine cellulose.
Features Include
Are There Any Potential Side Effects Or
Precautions?
Easily Absorbed: In nature, HA is a large molecular
weight compound, ranging in size from 500,000-6,000,000
daltons. This is too large to be absorbed in the small
intestines. Pure Encapsulations HA has undergone a
sophisticated, patent-pending enzymatic process that
alters the molecular weight, though not chemical
composition. The final result is an easily absorbed HA
polymer with a molecular weight of 5,000 daltons.
Preliminary Research: Subjective evaluations conducted by
scientists at a Japanese university involved 96 individuals.
The reports suggest an enhancement of skin and joint
health using low molecular weight HA. A number of
anecdotal and preliminary results also indicate a positive
effect on skin and joint health.*
Uses For Hyaluronic Acid
Skin Health: For skin cells, the ability of HA to attract
and retain water is essential for proper cell-to-cell
communication, hydration, nutrient delivery, and waste
and toxin elimination. HA also appears to support the
skin by promoting healthy turnover and renewal
of keratinocytes, moderating the appearance of fine lines
and age spots.*
Recommendations
Pure Encapsulations recommends taking 6 capsules per
day (providing 37.8 mg HA), in divided doses, with or
between meals.
At this time, there are no known side effects or precautions.

Joint Health: For joints, HA is especially supportive of
healthy lubrication and shock absorption. Furthermore,
in vitro studies indicate that HA modulates prostaglandin
production, providing additional support for joint function.*
