Ultra HA Plus^™

Skin and Joint Hydrating Support

Promote Healthy Joints and Youthful Looking Skin
Plus Powerful Antioxidant Support

Ultra HA Plus promotes both healthy joints and more youthful-looking skin. It uniquely contains a naturally occurring matrix with three major constituents, hyaluronic acid, collagen type II, and chondroitin sulfate which are uniquely reduced to highly bioavailable, very low molecular weight forms due to a patented manufacturing process. Made from articular cartilage, its composition is similar to human articular joint cartilage.

Ultra HA Plus provides a full spectrum of essential joint and skin nutrients plus the antioxidant powerhouse grape seed extract to help:

• Support hydration of the skin for softer, smoother looking skin that helps combat the appearance of wrinkles


• Support hydration of your joints to facilitate mobility
  
  
• Provide antioxidant support for both your skin and joints

Hyaluronic Acid and the Skin-Joint Connection
As we age, the levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) naturally found in our skin and joints diminish rapidly, causing dry, rough, and wrinkled looking skin.

Hyaluronic acid is known as a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a substance that attaches to collagen and elastin to form cartilage. HA not only helps keep the cartilage that cushions joints strong and flexible, but it also helps to keep your joints hydrated, because it is also what your body’s own joint lubricant predominately consists of. In the joint, HA acts as a “shock absorber,” structural stabilizer, and lubricant, playing an important role in resisting and supporting the stresses joints are frequently subjected to.

Hyaluronic acid is present in every tissue of the body; in fact, nearly 50% of the HA found in our body is present in our skin. So besides keeping our joints lubricated, HA also encourages water retention in our skin, where it has been estimated to retain several times its weight in moisture. It is found in large concentrations in the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is the fluid-filled space between cells. HA locks moisture into the ECM, keeping the collagen and elastin in your skin moist and hydrated, for smoother, more radiant skin and a more youthful appearance.

So as hyaluronic acid works to help hydrate the same collagen and elastin used by both the skin and the joints, you can see how it is truly one of nature’s most versatile and fascinating molecules!

Two Additional Joint Factors
Type II Collagen Peptides supports joint flexibility and health by providing the building blocks that make up moveable joints. Like the bricks in a house, type II collagen peptides are the unique type of protein that are part of up healthy joint cartilage.

Chondroitin Sulfate is similar in function to hyaluronic acid. It is found naturally in cartilage and other connective tissues like ligaments and tendons, where it attracts and holds water, providing elasticity and fluidity to the tissue.

Powerful Antioxidant Support
The Ultra HA Plus formula is enhanced with oligomeric proanthocyanidins, better known as OPC, powerful antioxidant from grape seed extract, that supports joint and skin health by helping to protect and strengthen collagen and elastin -- essential proteins found in the connective tissue found in your joints and skin.

In 1948 Jack Masquelier discovered oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) in the skin of a peanut by accident. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins are a class of flavonoid complexes. OPCs are found in most plants and thus are a part of the human diet. Especially the skin, seeds and seed coverings of plants contain large amounts of oligomeric proanthocyanidins. They can be found in large quantities in grape seed extract and skin, in red grapes, in the red skins of peanuts, in coconuts, apples, and in cocoa. In nature, it is believed that OPCs may serve as a plant defense.

Although OPCs are widespread in nature, the powerful proanthocyanidin compound is most abundant and available from the bark of the maritime pine and in grape seeds, or pips.

OPCs possess superior free-radical scavenging capacity compared to many other known antioxidants like vitamins C and E. OPCs have many benefits, including:

• May help promote healthy aging by providing important protection to cellular membranes.
  
  
• May support overall skin health by providing support against free radical breakdown of skin collagen and elastin, a process that produces visible signs of aging.
  
  
• Helps promote overall health and well-being

Ultra HA Plus Provides Incredible Joint and Skin Support
Ultra HA Plus contains a concentrated matrix of naturally occurring elements. These elements provide multi-dimensional nutritional support that help promote the body to maintain connective tissue health in critical areas such as your joints and skin.

Put the power of Ultra HA Plus to work for you, for joint and skin support that will help keep you looking and feeling your very best!

Your nutritional source for excellence

Simply stated, we continually strive for excellence. Since 1995 Great American Products has been the source for high-quality nutritional supplements. Since the effectiveness of our formulas rely on two basic fundamentals, the quality and quantity of the raw materials we use, we meticulously search for high quality ingredients in the amounts supported by scientific research. And because our nutritional supplements undergo intense scrutiny at every stage of the manufacturing process, you will receive one of the most effective products available anywhere; they are all:

• Made in the USA
• Produced in FDA inspected facilities
• Manufactured to rigorous GMP standards

Why is GMP considered the best manufacturing standard?

The current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements set forth in the Quality System (QS) regulation are covered under section 520 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act. They require that domestic or foreign manufacturers have a quality system for the design, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, installation, and servicing of finished medical devices intended for commercial distribution in the United States. The regulation requires that various specifications and controls be established for devices; that devices be designed under a quality system to meet these specifications; that devices be manufactured under a quality system; that finished devices meet these specifications; that devices be correctly installed, checked and serviced; that quality data be analyzed to identify and correct quality problems; and that complaints be processed. Thus, the QS regulation helps assure that medical devices are safe and effective for their intended use. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monitors device problem data and inspects the operations and records of device developers and manufacturers to determine compliance with the GMP requirements in the QS regulation.

The QS Regulation is contained in Title 21 Part 820 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This regulation covers quality management and organization, device design, buildings, equipment, purchase and handling of components, production and process controls, packaging and labeling control, device evaluation, distribution, installation, complaint handling, servicing, and records.
