Abstract

A composition comprised of at least one surface active phospholipid, hyaluronic acid or a water soluble salt thereof in saline solution for use as a lubricant, in particular, for physiological use such as the lubrication of joints. The composition can be used to reduce the coefficient of kinetic friction between surfaces in contact with each other, particularly load-bearing surfaces.
