A study done by Wobig et al in 1999, compared hyaluronic acids of various molecular weights and found there are far more benefits derived from higher molecular weight acid. The higher molecular weight acid can hold more water, has better lubrication properties and better shock absorbing properties. The hyaluronic acid in Hyaflex™ is one of the purest and highest in molecular weight. Molecular weight is no less than 2.4 million Dalton’s.
