Hyaluronic Acid Repairs Damaged Muscle

A new study published in the journal Science reveals a unique form of communication that controls muscle repair.

In damaged muscle, stem cells must work together with immune cells to complete the repair process, yet how these cells coordinate to ensure the efficient removal of dead tissue before making new muscle fibers has remained unknown.

The scientists have now shown that a natural substance, hyaluronic acid, is the key molecule that manages this fundamental interaction. Hyaluronic acid is the ingredient that tells muscle stem cells to wake up.

When muscle damage occurs, stem cells start producing and coating themselves with hyaluronic acid. Once the coating gets thick enough, it blocks the sleep signal from the immune cells and causes the muscle stem cells to wake up.

Researchers hope to find a way to enhance the muscle stem cells of older people to help with muscle repair.

Supplementing with Hyaluronic Acid is simple. It comes in a great tasting gummy or lozenge. Stop by the store today to find out more information.
