What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing joint discomfort, stiffness, or you're curious about how your body's connective tissue is holding up. It measures hyaluronic acid, a substance your body uses to keep joints lubricated and skin hydrated. It's also used as a marker to check on liver scarring risk in some cases.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the normal range clearly explained next to your value. If your level is outside the expected range, the report will point you toward simple next steps, like adjusting your diet, staying hydrated, or retesting in a few months to track changes. You can download a standard lab report anytime, and the trends feature lets you watch how your levels shift over time with repeat testing.

How can I naturally support healthy hyaluronic acid levels?

Eating foods rich in vitamin C, like citrus and leafy greens, helps your body produce hyaluronic acid naturally. Bone broth and foods high in antioxidants can also support connective tissue health. Staying well hydrated and limiting sugar intake may help maintain healthy levels too.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification as soon as they're posted to your account, so there's no need to keep checking manually. If anything looks unusual, the report will explain what it means in plain language.

Who should consider this test?

People dealing with joint stiffness, skin changes, or general connective tissue concerns may want to consider this test. It's also useful for those tracking liver health markers or anyone curious about how aging is affecting their tissues. Athletes and active individuals sometimes use it to keep an eye on joint wear and tear.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include joint pain or stiffness, dry or sagging skin, and reduced flexibility. Some people also get tested if they've noticed slower recovery after exercise or are monitoring long-term liver health. If these symptoms sound familiar, this test can offer useful insight.

What is hyaluronic acid and why does it matter?

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in your body that keeps joints cushioned and skin hydrated by holding onto water. It matters because as levels change, you might notice more joint stiffness or drier skin. Tracking it can also give clues about connective tissue and liver health.

What does high hyaluronic acid mean?

Higher than normal levels can sometimes be linked to liver scarring or ongoing inflammation in the body. It doesn't automatically mean something serious, but it's worth noting and possibly retesting to see if the trend continues. Cutting back on alcohol and eating an anti-inflammatory diet are practical first steps.

What causes high or low hyaluronic acid levels?

High levels can be related to liver conditions, inflammation, or certain joint diseases. Low levels are often just a natural part of aging, since your body produces less as you get older. Diet, hydration, and overall activity level can also influence where your number lands.

How often should I retest?

If your first result is within the normal range and you feel fine, retesting once a year is usually enough to track changes over time. If your level was outside the normal range, retesting every 3 to 6 months can help you see whether lifestyle changes are making a difference. Use the trends feature in your account to easily compare results side by side.
