Allergy Research Synovoderma is designed with nutrients which have been known to support the production of healthy skin and joint tissue. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is found in the class of compounds known as glycosaminoglycans (GAG´s) and is a lubrication proteoglycan. It is found in every tissue of the body, especially the synovial fluid, the vitreous humour of the eye, the cartilage, blood vessels, extracellular matrix, skin and the umbilical cord. It functions to maintain cellular fluidity thereby allowing nutrients to move into the cells and waste to be eliminated from the cells. Synovial fluid is found in the synovial membrane around bones (joints). Due to the absence of blood vessels in those areas, it is the function of the synovial fluid to carry nutrients to the joint tissues while also serving as a lubricant and shock absorber. HA may also support biochemical processes involved in wound healing. Synovoderma is a patented HA formula and has been prepared using a proprietary enzymatic process to reduce the molecular weight to between 50,000 - 200,000 Daltons, thereby enhancing absorption through the digestive tract. HA is extracted from cockscomb.
