Sodium
Hyaluronate
A Natural High Viscosity
Glycosaminoglycan
Sodium Hyaluronate has been
used with significant success for treating painful knee problems caused by the
diminution of fluid (synovial fluid) which serves to lubricate the joints. Back
in the 1930's Karl Meyer isolated a glycosaminoglycan from the vitreous humor of
bovine eyes. It was named hyaluronic acid "HA". Later research revealed that it
was part of a group of biologically active macromolecules known as GAG's. These
GAG's are present in the matrix of every living cell and help serve the
important function of keeping tissue hydrated. Veterinary science later revealed
that they provided the lubrication for joints, and products were developed using
sodium hyaluronate to re-hydrate joints that became dry due to prolonged and
severe athletic stress. To ease this stress, the injection of sodium hyaluronate
into the joints became a popular procedure. However, due to its relatively high
molecular weight, injection was the only method of administration. Later the
material was patented, became available by prescription only and required the
services of a physician. While it was rightly recognized as the therapy of
choice, it was also quite expensive and involved some risk.
Recent scientific
advances have allowed for the oral use of sodium hyaluronate.
Previously, due to its high
molecular weight, sodium hyaluronate was not suitable for absorption through the
digestive system. With the aid of sophisticated enzyme techniques, smaller
molecular weight polymers that could be absorbed through the digestive tract
have now been developed.
Lube-All™ uses these newer low molecular weight polymers. Sodium
Hyaluronate is particularly useful in re-hydrating joints that have been
subjected to severe stress. Well hydrated joints help to prevent bone
degeneration. Through oral use, the possibility of joint inflammation as a
result of injection has been eliminated. Lube-All™
(sodium hyaluronate) helps to hydrate and lubricate synovial membranes reducing
cell proliferation associated with arthritis and inflammation. Since it is a
component part of every living tissue, it serves to maintain the vitality of all
tissue. Sodium hyaluronate has been also credited with "wound healing".
Lube-All™ has been formulated with potency
overages so as to insure extended shelf life integrity.
Lube All™ (Sodium Hyaluronate or HA) A dietary supplement. Has been
used with significant success in the treatment of painful knee and joint
problems for many years. Until recently it was only available by injection. With
a recent technological breakthrough, H.A. is now available in ORAL form.
Suggested Use: 10cc per day. 8 oz.
bottle lasts about 3 weeks -1 month.
Editor's Note: I've had a "bad knee"
since freshman year of high school...Now in my 30's, I've tried a number of
supplements, and found some that helped, but none as well as LUBE-ALL. I'll be
getting bottles for all my aging friends as well as my parents.
