Hyaluronic Acid Facts

The discovery of hyaluronic acid also known as hyaluronan was proposed by Karl Meyer, the father of mucopolysaccharide chemistry, who then isolated this substance from the vitreous body of cattle and named it hyalos, which means “transparent”. acid”.  The word hyalos comes from the Greek, meaning glass, and refers to a transparent, glass-like appearance, and its initial commercial use arose in the food processing industry due to its high viscosity, high water retention ,which can absorb thousands of times its volume.  It is used as a substitute for egg whites.  After decades of continuous research, it has been found that hyaluronic acid is like the essence that the body is born with. It can lubricate joints, moisturize and remove wrinkles, and fill the interstitium.

Benefit of Hyaluronic Acid

1. Improve skin condition
   The skin is a multifunctional organ with important defense functions, both as a physical barrier to the external environment and as an immune defense against potentially pathogenic microorganisms. However, the aging of organs begins at birth, and the skin is no exception. The skin is affected by both intrinsic (time) and extrinsic (environmental) aging, resulting in loss of function, appearance of wrinkles, loss of elasticity, sagging, roughness, dryness, atrophy, etc. Several randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies have shown that ingestion of hyaluronic acid can increase skin moisture in patients with dry skin. Oral hyaluronic acid can improve wrinkles and skin condition (eg: radiance and softness). Whether oral or topical hyaluronic acid may help improve skin condition.
2. Good for osteoarthritis
   Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease, with an incidence rate ranging from 33% over the age of 60 to 43.7% over the age of 80. It is characterized by cartilage loss, subchondral bone changes, synovitis and meniscus degeneration. feature. Osteoarthritis can easily lead to decreased quality of life and reduced participation in social activities. In addition to aging factors, common risk factors for osteoarthritis include obesity, previous joint damage, genetic factors, and anatomical factors such as joint shape and alignment. Other factors include : Gender, ethnicity and nutritional factors (vitamin D deficiency). A randomized, double-blind, controlled study (60 patients with knee arthritis over the age of 50) found that compared with placebo, oral hyaluronic acid (200 mg daily for 12 months) combined with quadriceps strengthening training was more effective than placebo. Helps improve subjects’ symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis (such as knee pain, stiffness, quality of life, mobility, etc.). Oral hyaluronic acid may have positive effects on the improvement of knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
3. Good for gastroesophageal reflux
   Defined as abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus or other sites and into the mouth (including the throat) or lungs.  Typical symptoms include heartburn and acid reflux, atypical symptoms such as stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, bloating, and hiccups. Gastroesophageal reflux disease can be classified as either non-erosive reflux disease or erosive reflux disease, depending on the presence or absence of esophageal mucosal damage on endoscopy. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (14 days in 20 patients with non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease treated with PPIs) showed that a fixed combination of oral hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate significantly improved gastroesophageal reflux disease Symptoms related to reflux disease, such as: heart burn, acid regurgitation. In addition, the data of speed of action and total disappearance of symptoms in subjects taking hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate were better than placebo.

Possible Side Effects

Hyaluronic acid is generally regarded as a safe ingredient and has high human tolerance, whether it is topical application or oral lozenge, but medical injection (infusion) needs to be used under the evaluation of a physician
