Clinical research demonstrated that oral Hyaluronic Acid is absorbed and
localized in joints (Balogh et al, FASEB 2004). In a separate clinical trial, 3.3mg of mega-potent Hyaluronic
Acid (Joint Fluid) was added to Glucosamine and Chondroitin and found to be almost twice as effective
as Glucosamine and Chondroitin alone for improving overall joint health as measured by WOMAC Total scores after eight weeks.
Oral use of hyaluronic acid (HA) for
joint health is very recent, and human clinical studies have only recently been conducted (see below). The
HA in Move Free® Advanced is native, high molecular weight (~1 million daltons), purified material
produced by microbial fermentation. Thus, the HA in Move Free® Advanced is closer to identity of
HA in human synoval fluid than other HA-containing joint supplements.
