Frequently
Asked Questions about Synthovial Seven
- What is Synthovial Seven®?
Patented Synthovial
Seven® is a liquid solution of hyaluronic acid (HA) for oral
administration in humans. The hyaluronic acid in Synthovial Seven®
is one of the purest and highest in molecular weight. Molecular
weight is no less than 2.8 million Daltonss.
- What is Hyaluronic Acid
(HA)?
Hyaluronic acid
is a special mucopolysaccharide occurring naturally throughout
the human body. One of the most heavily researched substances
in medicine today with thousands of clinical trials mostly in
the fields of orthopedics and eye surgery. Its function in the
body is, amongst other things, to bind water and to lubricate
movable parts of the body, such as joints and muscles. Its consistency
and tissue-friendliness allows it to be used in skin-care products
as an excellent moisturizer. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most
hydrophilic (water loving) molecules in nature and can be described
as "natures moisturizer".
- How long has Hyaluronic
Acid been used?
Hyaluronic acid
was first used commercially in 1942 when Endre Balazs applied
for a patent to use it as a substitute for egg white in bakery
products. He went on to become the leading expert on HA, and made
the majority of discoveries concerning HA.
- Why do I need a hyaluronic
acid supplement?
Hyaluronic acid
is naturally produced by the body as a constituent of synovial
fluid that lubricates the cartilage between the joints. As we
age, the body produces less HA and it becomes more difficult to
replace the lost HA. With joint injuries, the cartilage and other
structures of the joint begin to break down. In some people, a
small injury that causes swelling of the joint breaks down the
hyaluronic acid so that proper lubrication is lost. Joints become
stiff and movement is painful. HA supplements pick up where our
bodies fail us.
- What does hyaluronic acid
do for my joints?
If we compare the
joints of the human body to and automobile engine, the joint fluid
in the body mimics the oil in a car engine. At regular intervals
we replace the oil in our car engines because the heat and friction
breakdown the oils viscosity. The oil becomes thinner and less
able to protect the metal surfaces from excessive wear. Hyaluronic
acid acts the same way in our joints. As we age the viscosity
of the joint fluid breaks down and becomes thin and is unable
to cushion the joint cartilage. This leads to increased friction
and wear on the cartilage surfaces of the joints. Taking Synthovial
Seven® helps to restore the normal viscosity of joint fluid
and to maintain optimal joint function.
- What does Hyaluronic Acid
do for my skin?
HA is the important
element of skin tissue that allows the retention of skin moisture
and functions as a lubricant between the connective tissues of
the skin. As we age, the presence of hyaluronic acid in the skin
decreases, leaving the skin dry and wrinkled. Replenishing the
HA levels in the body allow the skin to retain moisture, leaving
the skin soft, supple, and wrinkle free.
- What if I dont have
joint problems?
If you are not
currently experiencing joint problems then Synthovial Seven®
may be used to provide benefits in the long run. Just as we change
the oil in our car to help prevent problems, taking Synthovial
Seven® may help limit the amount of joint damage due to aging
or daily abuse by maintaining proper joint fluid viscosity. Also,
our hyaluronic acid production slows down considerably as we age,
which accounts in part for the wrinkling of the skin and sore
joints, so it makes good sense to compensate with supplemental
HA.
- Are these products safe?
Since Hyaluronic
acid occurs naturally in the body, taking small amounts of HA
in our products should be of no health concern.
- Are there any clinical
studies that have been done with Hyaluronic Acid?
Yes, Hyaluronic
Acid has been one of the most heavily researched subjects over
the past 20 years with many clinical studies in the field of orthopedics
and joint injuries. Click here to review.
- Where does your Hyaluronic
Acid come from?
Our acid comes
from an extracellular protein produced by bacteria. Our products
are not derived from any animal source. Hypersensitivity reactions
should not be a concern. The weight of the molecule directly influences
its "moisture-binding" capability, and Synthovial Seven
is the highest molecular weight HA on the market, which explains
the results we have experienced.
- Can your products be taken
with glucosamine and chondroitin?
If you are already
taking other supplements for joint health, taking Synthovial Seven®
can supplement the effects by assisting with lubricating the cartilage
in the joints. While HA is in the same "family" of glycosaminoglycans
as glucosamine and chondroitin, it is unique in its restorative
ability, and will often provide improvement, where glucosamine
and chondroitin have failed to do so. The synergistic action of
all of these molecules is of course, the optimal way to address
joint lameness and stiffness, as they all represent the materials
that comprise the matrix of our connective tissues.
- How is the Synthovial Seven
taken?
Just add one (1) ml (full dropper) to a glass of water once a
day only. It Is odorless and tasteless. Each bottle contains a
30 day supply.
- Do I need to take these
supplements with food?
Synthovial Seven® is easily tolerated with or without food.
We recommend taking Synthovial Seven® first thing in the morning
(this is a good way of getting in the habit of taking it everyday).
As with any nutritional supplement, it is important to be consistent
and take it every day.
- Why should
I choose Synthovial Seven® as my HA supplement?
Synthovial Seven® is the only liquid oral solution available.
Liquids have shown to be more readily absorbed into the body versus
pills and powders. It is produced with the highest molecular weight
which leads to increased lubrication. It is not manufactured from
animal sources and best of all, taken only once a day.
- Because
it is an acid will it burn my skin or stomach?
Hyaluronic acid is often called an acid and this is a misnomer.
Hyaluronic acid as a sodium salt (sodium hyaluronate) (Synthovial
Seven®) will have a neutral pH measurement not an acidic.
Because of the water retention capacity of hyaluronic acid, it
is actually very good for skin health.
- Is Synthovial
Seven considered Gluten-Free?
Yes, the ingredients in Synthovial Seven® do not contain gluten.
- Do doctors
use Hyaluronic acid to help their patients?
The answer is yes. Most of the work has been done in the field
of orthopedics, eye surgery and cosmetic surgery. Hyaluronic acid
has been directly injected by needle (viscosupplementation) into
the affected joint. This has yielded great results by immediately
increasing the joint lubrication fluid and increasing the viscosity.
It has been used in eye surgery as a replacement fluid in the
eye. It has been applied topically to wounds or severe burns to
promote skin growth and reduce scarring.
