Hyaluronic Acid + Condroitin Sulfate with Biocell Collagen

Doctor's Best Hyaluronic Acid with Chondroitin Sulfate contains BioCell Collagen®, a patented, science-based, dietary ingredient that supports youthful skin, healthy joint structure and supports joint function. 

Hyaluronic Acid, a type of building block called a glycosaminoglycan, plays an important role in supporting the health and hydration of connective tissue. Healthy connective tissue and cartilage maintenance is fundamental in normal skin and joint function. Hyaluronic Acid is highly concentrated in synovial fluid, where it serves to support joint lubrication and the elastic structural and functional characteristics of the joint.

Chondroitin sulfate is a key component of joint cartilage. Doctor’s Best uses chondroitin sulfate with a purity of 90 percent or greater. Chondroitin sulfate and the other glycosaminoglycans strongly attract water due to the negative charges of their sulfate groups. These negative charges also repel each other, creating spaces between glycosaminoglycan side chains where water can enter. This combination of solid and liquid gives cartilage a compressible quality that supports its function in healthy joints. 

Type II collagen is the collagen that makes up cartilage in the joints. Studies have shown that hydrolyzed collagen provides a substantial advantage in bioavailability over non-hydrolyzed collagen, thereby having the potential to support healthy joint structure more efficiently.

Researchers agree the major visible signs of aging in the skin, joints, and eyes are a result of progressive collagen and hyaluronic acid degradation in our tissues.
