Hyaluronic acid: what it is, effects and how to take it
In the following, we will explain everything you need to know about this topic.
But what is hyaluronic acid anyway?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural carbohydrate that is an important component of connective tissue and also has the ability to bind water and regulate the moisture balance of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is produced by the human body itself and is, therefore, of natural origin. However, with age, the body's own reserves of hyaluronic acid diminish, leading to reduced skin elasticity, wrinkling and even dryness of the skin. For this reason, hyaluronic acid has been used for many years as a skincare ingredient for plump and radiant skin.
WHAT DOES HYALURONIC ACID DO IN THE BODY?
Hyaluronic acid is a main component of human connective tissue, which lies between the skin cells. Its task is to fill and protect this. Hyaluronic acid has the ability to bind large amounts of water and is, therefore, also responsible for the moisture content of the skin. The result is firm, plump skin. That's another reason it's a popular ingredient in supplements, whether in capsule or gummy bear form, like our You Glow, Girl Skin Vitamins and Born This Way Youth Vitamins. But there are also many eye care products with hyaluronic acid. Eye drops, for example, are said to help with strain and dryness and relieve redness.
How much hyaluronic acid should you take?
There is no recommended consumption amount for hyaluronic acid. However, clinical studies from Japan have shown that long-term intake of 120 to 240 mg of hyaluronic acid per day for several months increases skin hydration. In addition, dry and rough skin could be improved.
DR. ANNE LATZ:
"Only 20-30% of skin ageing is genetic. The remaining 70-80% is influenced by one's lifestyle. At the same time, I see in nutritional medical practise that the ideal supply of the right beauty vitamins is very difficult to implement for many women in their everyday multitasking. The solution: pharmaceutically developed nutritional supplements that specifically ensure the ideal nutrient supply."
HYALURONIC ACID IN SKIN CARE
Hyaluronic acid is a real superhero because, as already mentioned, it can bind a thousand times its weight in moisture. Thus, 1 gram of hyaluron can store about 6 litres of water! This ability makes it one of the most popular ingredients in creams and serums. Hyaluron can be a lifesaver, especially for dry skin. In addition, it helps to build up the skin and soothe irritations. Thus, it regenerates the uppermost skin layers and gives the skin a soft and radiant appearance. Since the body's hyaluronic acid production decreases with age, it also serves as an anti-ageing boost and makes wrinkles appear plumped. Experts recommend applying hyaluronic acid to moist skin so that it can be optimally absorbed by the skin.

FAQS ABOUT HYALURONIC ACID as an ingredient
Of course, it depends on the form in which hyaluronic acid is taken, whether as a cream, injection or dietary supplement. Depending on how it is taken, results are visible faster or slower.
In the form of creams, hyaluronic acid has a moisturising effect. It slowly moisturises the facial skin and visibly reduces wrinkles caused by dryness, which can result in a radiant, fresher and younger-looking complexion. However, to see long-term results, hyaluronic acid should be taken in the form of supplements or injections.
Many dermatologists recommend using anti-ageing products from the mid-20s, as the skin slowly loses moisture from this point on. From 30, the first signs of ageing appear, such as light lines on the forehead and the first wrinkles around the eyes. From then on, the skin needs more care, and it is important to use the right products for your skin type (oily, dry, sensitive or combination skin).
Hyaluronic acid can be produced by the human body itself and is, therefore, of natural origin, but hyaluronic acid is also found in food. Sweet potatoes and bananas are among the natural suppliers of hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluron or hyaluronic acid is a natural carbohydrate, which is an important component of connective tissue but also important for cell proliferation. Hyaluronic acid also has the ability to bind water and can, therefore, regulate the body's own moisture balance.
To counter the body's declining hyaluronic acid production, many manufacturers offer hyaluronic acid in the form of creams, masks and serums. Some people even dare to go to a cosmetic doctor and have hyaluronic acid injected under the skin. Of course, you can also save yourself the trouble by relying on food supplements that supply the skin with hyaluronic acid from within and thus make your skin glow!

I've been trying these bears for a few weeks now and I'm really excited about them. Taste wise they are just top notch. I will definitely reorder it!!!

I have heard that hyaluron is better absorbed through food than through the skin... I'm glad I found these bears here.
