Hyaluronic Acid:
Nourishment for Skin and Joint Care

Isn’t it wonderful when a natural compound has more than one action from which most everyone can benefit? Hyaluronic acid is such a stellar ingredient.

Chemically speaking, hyaluronic acid (also called hyaluronan, hyaluronate or HA) is a linear polysaccharide with repeating disaccharide units composed of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine. It is a naturally occurring biopolymer whose molecular structure is highly conserved between mammalian species.

How does HA work?

HA has a sizeable portfolio of research demonstrating benefits for both skin and joint health. We summarize each use below:

Skin Care:

With age, the body’s ability to produce its own Hyaluronic Acid diminishes and topical application helps replenish the skin.
Hyaluronic acid acts like a “moisture magnet” and is perfect for rehydrating dry, thirsty, aging skin – this adds that youthful plumpness that middle-age women tend to seek. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water and has the amazing ability to attract and bind water molecules, keeping collagen hydrated and healthy and plumping, softening and smoothing skin.

Joint Care:

HA supports joint health by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. By helping to preserve this matrix in the joints, HA helps provide a buffer between the bones and provides resistance to wear and tear; Hyaluronic acid is beneficial for lubricating achy joints and easing pains and tenderness.
