H.A. with 7 Day Joint Comfort Support*
Brand new to the H.A. family, Ultimate H.A.® 7 day joint comfort is the convergence of joint-supporting Hyaluronic Acid bolstered by the addition of AprèsFLEX®, a patented, new clinically tested Boswellia extract, which promotes normal joint comfort and flexibility.* The newest edition to our H.A. line-up, Ultimate H.A.® 7 contains the same ingredients found in our best-selling Ultimate H.A. Formula®. It features our patented Biocell® Hyaluronic Acid in a high performance 10% blend, comprised of a matrix of low molecular weight Chondroitin Sulfate and Collagen Type II peptides. But Ultimate H.A.® 7 doesn’t stop there; it is amplified by the full 100 mg dose of clinically tested AprèsFLEX®. Studies show AprèsFLEX® supplementation demonstrated significant support for normal, healthy joint comfort, function and mobility.*
Why is H.A. So Important?*
Ultimate H.A.® 7 contains ingredients that foster healthy aging of our skin and joints. Widely known as the "Molecule of Youth," Hyaluronic Acid (H.A.) is largely found in our skin and is critical for skin moisture. It influences elasticity and therefore wrinkling of the skin. Additionally, H.A. addresses oxidative stress in our skin by scavenging free radicals that are unleashed by ultraviolet rays from the sun. Equally important, H.A. is abundant in the vitreous humor of our eyes and the synovial fluid of our joints. In the joints it helps to maintain viscosity and lubrication, essentially acting as a shock absorber between moving bones. Research also shows the potential of H.A. in its role neutralizing free radicals in sensitive areas where articular cartilage is found.* As a result of normal aging, levels of H.A. diminish, often leading to less youthful skin and joints.
A Profile of Longevity
Hyaluronic Acid was brought to national attention in a network news TV story about a Japanese village called Yuzurihara, known as the "Village of Long Life™." The World Health Organization has reported that the people of this small village a few hours outside of Tokyo live longer than in any other place in Japan—this in the nation with the world’s highest life expectancy. Compared to North America, 10 times more people in Yuzurihara were living beyond the age of 85. More importantly than lifespan alone, the inhabitants also aged healthfully, enjoying great joint mobility, healthy vision, and unusually smooth and well-toned skin. The health of the villagers was largely attributed to their diet—one that is rich in Hyaluronic Acid!
Key Joint Components in a Bottle
Articular cartilage in our synovial joints is composed of specialized cells called chondrocytes bound together by a matrix of collagen fibers (mainly type II collagen) and proteoglycans with varying glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains, including chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. This combination of water-binding GAGs within a collagen network provides the tensile properties of articular cartilage, which peaks in humans around age 30. Ultimate H.A. Formula® provides these building blocks to help maintain structure and healthy cartilage function beyond our "tensile peak."* We designed this formula to deliver (in 3 capsules) - 100 mg of quality H.A., 100 mg of AprèsFLEX® Boswellia extract, 200 mg Chondroitin Sulfate, 120 mg Vitamin C, 150 mg Quercetin, plus 300 mg Lecithin and other antioxidants as well.
Biocell® HA -- Like a Shock Absorber for Your Joints*
Hyaluronic Acid (H.A.) is the crucial space-filling, cushioning substance found in our connective tissues. This important shock absorbing, gel-like substance, which plays an important role in supporting joint health, often diminishes in one’s body as a result of normal aging. Healthy levels of H.A. support and cushion the joints and also hydrate the skin.* Try HA-7, your joints will thank you.
AprèsFLEX®--a Breakthrough Extract of Boswellia, a Time-Honored Traditional Herb
With its long and storied history as one of the most sought-after herbs in the Far East, the gummy resin from Boswellia serrata, a tree native to the Indian sub-continent is referenced in centuries-old botanical texts. Known as "Indian Frankincense", Boswellia resin has long been utilized for a wide range of health-promoting effects. In modern times, Boswellia resin has been researched for decades. A plethora of studies have shown that virtuous active ingredients in the resin called "Boswellic acids" exert beneficial effects that help maintain normal joint health and comfort.* Over the years, extracts have been developed to standardize the content of Boswellic acids. Researched and develop by a leading producer of top-quality herbal extracts, AprèsFLEX® has clinically verified effectiveness. What sets AprèsFLEX® apart from previous Boswellia extracts is its superior absorption and bioactivity. AprèsFLEX® supports healthy joints by helping to maintain the integrity of collagen, which is one of the primary structural components in connective tissue.* The oral bioavailability of AprèsFLEX® is significantly higher from in comparison to other Boswellia extracts. Delivering results in as little as 5 to 7 days, AprèsFLEX® represents the next generation in clinically-studied Boswellia extracts.*
