Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in abundance in young skin, synovial fluid, and other tissues in
humans and animals. It is a linear polysaccharide in the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family and is referred to as
the “cement” that bonds tissue components together.
Columns of fibers made up of collagen and elastin support the surface layers of the skin from below. This network
of fibers forms a sponge-like structure known as connective tissue. The spaces within this sponge are filled with
water, protein complexes, and hyaluronic acid. These substances form a jelly-like complex that is necessary for the
transportation of essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the living cells of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid is used extensively in the cosmetic industry and by dermatologists in anti-aging and moisturizing
products due to its hydroscopic (absorbs and retains water) properties. In fact, hyaluronic acid can absorb more
than 1,000 times its weight in water allowing it to hydrate the skin and other areas that it contacts. In addition to
its hyper-hydration properties, hyaluronic acid is also known for its role in wound healing and in the Beneficial Effectsion of
scarring. Hyaluronic acid is the extra-cellular matrix (the fluid between skin cells) that acts as the transportation
system for the cascade of events that happen in wound healing.

Additional Information for Hyaluronic Acid |
|
| Hyaluronic acid isn’t just about skin health. It also acts as a major internal lubricant in human joints. In our joints,
hyaluronic acid is a long, complex molecule that takes on a ball-like shape that resists compression. When injury
or soreness to a joint occurs, the hyaluronic acid molecule breaks down, becomes less effective in maintaining
its ball-like shape, and cannot provide a cushion of protection in the joint. Supplementation with Hyaluronic Acid
Enhances to restore cushioning protection in the joint. Hyaluronic acid is also found in all connecting tissues of the
body, such as ligaments and tendons, where it performs special functions of lubrication. |
