Hyaluronic Acid (Ingestible)
(HA) is a naturally occurring substance called a ‘linear polysaccharide’ already produced in the body and exhibits an astonishing array of biological functions. HA can attract up to one thousand times its weight in water and half the total amount of the body’s hyaluronic acid is contained in the skin.
The unique physical and mechanical properties of HA contribute to the maintenance of tissue hydration and repair. Taking a daily HA supplement orally contributes to the increased synthesis of HA and promotes cell proliferation in fibroblasts,which in turn keeps the skin moisturized and looking plump.
Just like collagen, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) levels decrease as we age, and this may contribute both to the physical signs of aging, such as the appearance of wrinkles, and other age-related conditions.
