HA is a gel like substance found in the skin as well as in the fluid around the eyes, connective tissues, cartilage, and in between joints. As a major component of skin, HA serves a vital function in tissue repair and healing, cell proliferation, providing elasticity and to fill up space in tissues.

Aging, over exposure to the sun, and other environmental factors decrease the skin's ability to produce HA naturally and can actually increase the rate of the skin's natural HA content to degrade over time. Maintaining an adequate amount of HA is vital, and supplements can keep your levels on target. HA oral supplement can help the body maintain moisture, bringing relief for skin problems such as dryness, eczema and psoriasis.
