CanEVA PEOPLE and PET products contain 10 active ingredients that work in synergy to maintain joint health, mobility and vitality. One of the ingredients, Hyaluronic acid (HA), plays a significant role in joint health, particularly in maintaining the function and comfort of joints. How exactly does hyaluronic acid help?
Hyaluronic acid is a key component of synovial fluid, which is the thick, viscous fluid found within joint cavities. This fluid acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement. Adequate lubrication helps prevent the wear and tear of joint surfaces, reducing the risk of joint damage and pain. HA contributes to the shock-absorbing properties of synovial fluid. This cushioning effect is crucial for absorbing the impact and stress on joints during activities such as walking, running, or jumping. This helps protect the joints from mechanical damage.
Hyaluronic acid helps maintain the health of articular cartilage, the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. HA provides the cartilage with the necessary hydration, allowing it to remain resilient and elastic, which is essential for smooth joint movement. It is also involved in the repair and regeneration of tissues within the joint. It supports the synthesis of proteoglycans and other components necessary for maintaining healthy cartilage. This regenerative effect can be beneficial in slowing down the progression of joint degeneration.
Although not directly used for pain relief, the combination of lubrication, shock absorption, and anti-inflammatory effects can lead to significant pain relief for individuals with joint conditions such as osteoarthritis.
