Lysine, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid contains ingredients that help in the development and maintenance of bones and cartilage, as well as aid in collagen and connective tissue formation. 

Hyaluronic acid is a protective substance found in the fluid that surrounds the joints. It forms a thick gel that lubricates and protects joints and is essential for joint mobility. In between the joints, it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. It reduces friction, facilitates mobility and provides nourishment to the joints.  As we get older, our bodies produce less and less hyaluronic acid which exposes bones by leaving little to provide lubrication, creating friction, inflammation, pain and potentially arthritis. Studies have shown that the hyaluronic acid content in osteoarthritic cartilage is greatly reduced and that hyaluronic acid supplementation lessens pain and improves mobility in patients with osteoarthritis.  One of Lysine and Vitamin C’s most important roles is collagen formation. Collagen is required along with hyaluronic acid to form the fluid that protects and lubricates the joints. 

Lysine, Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid combines these three nutrients in one formula because they work more effectively together to reduce arthritic pain and improve mobility.  Hyaluronic acid, in combination with lysine and vitamin C, contributes to collagen, cartilage and connective tissue formation to provide well-rounded support for the joints.  Collagen formation is also important for skin and has functional as well as cosmetic benefits. Collagen provides structure to our tissues which is important for healing wounds and scars and preventing wrinkling and sagging of the skin. Hyaluronic acid, lysine and vitamin C each contribute to collagen production and are beneficial to promote healthy, youthful skin. 

In the past, hyaluronic acid has been sourced from rooster combs or from corn and wheat peptides. AOR’s Lysine, Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid is completely vegetarian and free of wheat and corn.

Advanced Information:

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a protective substance found in the synovial fluid and connective tissue of movable joints. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is essential for joint mobility. The synovial fluid is a thick fluid surrounding the joints that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. It forms a thin layer at the surface of cartilage, reducing friction, facilitating movement and providing nourishment. As a key component of the synovial fluid, hyaluronic acid forms a thick gel that lubricates and protects joints. Hyaluronic acid is found throughout the body but high concentrations are found in the skin and joints.

Hyaluronic acid for Joint Protection

Normal synovial fluid contains 3-4 mg/ml of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps protect joints by augmenting the viscosity of the synovial fluid, by increasing the elasticity of the cartilage found in joints and because of its anti-inflammatory effect. Recent studies have shown that serum hyaluronic acid levels are a useful marker for the activity and severity of rheumatoid disease. Supplementation with hyaluronic acid reduces pain and improves function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. These effects are thought to be attributable to the return of a more normal synovial fluid, improved viscoelasticity, improved cartilage biosynthesis, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Hyaluronic acid also promotes wound healing; it is thought that its cementing ability allows room for white blood cells, which increases the speed of recovery.

Hyaluronic Acid Research

• Studies show that the hyaluronic acid content in osteoarthritic cartilage is much lower than normal and that hyaluronic acid supplementation lessens pain and improves function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
• Hyaluronic acid was shown to exert anti-inflammatory activity through its effect on nitric oxide, a molecule that is pivotal in synovial inflammation, cartilage and meniscus degeneration.
• Serum hyaluronic acid levels were shown to be a useful marker for the activity and severity of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
• In vitro studies have clearly demonstrated that the presence of hyaluronic acid has a stimulatory effect on chondrocyte metabolism. In other words, hyaluronic acid increases the activity of the cells responsible for cartilage production and maintenance.

Protection and Healing from Vitamin C and Lysine

Many people know that vitamin C is an important nutrient and antioxidant, but it is less well known that this versatile nutrient also plays an essential role in healthy joint function and repair. In the body, vitamin C and the amino acid lysine are required for the production of collagen. Collagen is a type of connective tissue that is found throughout the body, and which is an essential component of various body tissues including cartilage, ligaments, bones, teeth and skin. As our joints undergo everyday wear and tear, the body produces new collagen, which is used to maintain and repair the cartilage and other connective tissues of the joints. Supplemental vitamin C and lysine have been shown to enhance collagen production in the body, providing additional support for the repair and maintenance of healthy joints.

A Superior Combination

AOR’s Lysine, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid contains a unique and highly effective combination of natural ingredients to support and protect joint function. The product contains a superior, high-potency vegetarian source of hyaluronic acid that has a lower molecular weight. This lower molecular weight means that the molecules are smaller, which allows the product to be more easily absorbed by the body. Vitamin C and Lysine provide additional support for enhanced collagen formation and healthy joint repair.
