How important is HA in joint supplements?

[Happy2Hack]

Ok this is my last question about joint supplements!

Some supplments contain HA and some don't. Is it better to use one that does or does it not matter as long as the other ingredients are included at a good amount?

Thanks!

I was told to make sure that I fed my old horse on a suppliment that contained both HA and MSM if that helps?!!

I chose one with HA as it is meant to have additional benefits as I wanted to do as much as possible with one supplement -says this on the cortaflex website: HA is a major component of synovial fluid, which is essential for providing the joints with lubrication and the cartilage with nutrients.

I work for a nutrition company, we manufacture our own products, our senior nutritionist chose not to include HA into the joint supplement formula as, after research, she could see no benefit unless it was injected into the joint.
