By age 45, we have already lost 50% of our hyaluronic acid capital.
1/ Hyaluronic Acid: Properties
- stimulates cell regeneration
- plumping effect due to its ability to retain up to 300 times its weight in water
- repairs and promotes wound healing
- modulates inflammation
2/ Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Rationale for Supplementation
At age 25, the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid begins to decline. Every 10 years, we lose 6% of our hyaluronic acid levels. By age 50, 50% of our baseline reserves have depleted.
Consequences of this depletion
- onset of early fine lines at age 30
- reduction in skin hydration and volume
- increased wrinkle depth
- joint pain
3/ Hyaluronic Acid: Post-Supplementation Results
The effects of HA supplementation are rapid.
After 4 weeks of HA administration at 200 mg/day:
- +40% circulating blood HA, demonstrating high bioavailability
- +11% skin hydration
- -17% wrinkle depth
- a more youthful complexion
