Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component of cartilage and synovial fluid, which lubricates joints and supports mobility. Over time, ageing and repetitive work can reduce the molecular weight of HA in synovial fluid, leading to decreased joint function (Johnston et al., 2020). Supplementing with HA may help enhance synovial fluid viscosity and provide antioxidant benefits (Vincent et al., 2013).
