Smooth, elastic young skin is naturally loaded with HA—as our young bodies produce HA abundantly and easily replace the HA that is lost. The HA provides continuous moisture to the skin by binding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Ähnlich wie beim Trocknen von Pflaumen und Trauben. Wenn sie Feuchtigkeit verlieren, werden sie trocken und faltig.Unfortunately, the ability of our skin to produce HA decreases as we age and consequently, the amount of HA in our skin drops significantly. In addition to our body producing less water-loving HA as we age, over time free radicals, produced mostly through exposure to pollutants and sunlight, destroy the HA in the skin. Without enough HA in the skin, the skin loses its ability to hold water leaving a drier, thinner and wrinkled appearance. It’s similar to what happens to drying plums and grapes—as they lose moisture, they become dried and wrinkled. The skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis.

Support overall body hydration. Our bodies are 70% water. Each and every one of our cells need water to live, thrive, and function as it should. Hyaluronic acid helps assure our cells receive the moisture they need—even when environmental factors and the demands of our lives make staying hydrated difficult.

Support joint health. Like any machine with moving parts, our bodies require lubrication. It minimizes joint friction, decrease wear on bones and ligaments, and, maintain flexibility. Without proper hydration, joints become stiff and more difficult to move. Dietary supplementation with HA helps ensure that our joints have sufficient lubrication to function at their best!

Support eye health. The human eye is predominantly a fluid and is sensitive to dryness. Eyes need hydration to see, to clean themselves, and to reduce strain on the tiny muscles that control eye movement and focus. HA helps support eye health by maintaining the hydrated environment our eyes need for strain-free performance.

It’s no secret that healthy looking hair depends on a hydrated scalp and well-nourished hair follicles. But what you may not know is that the scalp is actually a complex system of skin layers that depend on hydration to function.

The dermis is your thickest skin layer and is composed of a lattice of HA-rich collagen and elastin fibers that provide the skin with its elasticity and its resilience. This is also where your hair follicles reside. Here, Hyaluronic acid nourishes and hydrates, as well as supports the deep layers of the scalp. The result is healthy lustrous hair and a hydrated scalp.

HA helps your hair:

- Feel supple and smooth
- Retain essential nutrients
- Remain resilient and bounce
- Defy the effects of wind, sun, and environmental damage.
