Hyaluronic acid is a natural viscous gel fluid found in the joints of the body. This fluid works as a lubricant and shock absorber for smooth movement. It reduces friction and provides lubrication. When Hyaluronic acid gets reduced, it causes the bone to rub together leading to pain, stiffness, and other symptoms associated with osteoarthritis.
