Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in skin, joints, and eyes. It has an extraordinary capacity to hold water, binding up to 1000 times its weight in moisture, which is what gives skin its plumpness and joints their cushioning fluid. The body's own production of hyaluronic acid declines significantly with age, contributing to skin thinning, joint stiffness and reduced tissue hydration.

Each capsule provides 200mg of hyaluronic acid as sodium hyaluronate, the salt form that is most commonly used in supplements and research. Oral hyaluronic acid supplementation has been shown in clinical trials to improve skin hydration and elasticity, with measurable changes typically appearing after 4 to 8 weeks. For joints, hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscosity of synovial fluid, the lubricant that reduces friction between cartilage surfaces. The vegetarian capsule shell is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, making this suitable for most dietary requirements.

Take 1 capsule once per day with any meal.

Hyaluronic acid can be taken at any time of day and does not need to be taken with fat or separated from other supplements. For skin hydration, pairing with vitamin C (which supports hyaluronic acid synthesis in the body) and adequate daily water intake will enhance the effect.

For joint support, hyaluronic acid works well alongside collagen peptides and vitamin C, as all three contribute to the structural matrix of cartilage and synovial fluid. Allow 4 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use before assessing results. Skin hydration improvements are often noticed before joint benefits, as skin cell turnover is faster than cartilage remodelling.
