After 50 years, only 50% hyaluronic acid remains in our body!
What is it and what is it for?
Hyaluronic acid (HA or HA) is a natural molecule, it belongs to the family of polysaccharides (complex sugars). It protects us from the appearance of wrinkles and allows the face to keep all its radiance. Its key role? It maintains our youth by retaining water from our skin. But, like collagen, it will decline with age. Result ? Appearance of wrinkles, and skin that relaxes.
Hyaluronic acid is essential because it helps keep skin hydrated and plumped up. Taking care of your skin using products based on hyaluronic acid and collagen will help delay and reduce wrinkles. This can avoid going through the alternative medicine box.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not only useful for the face and the body. The hair also needs this molecule to obtain volume, shine, hydration and better regrowth.
Hyaluronic acid is on your plate!
It is present in our food: wheat, oats, kiwi, carrots, sweet potato, tomato, legumes, white meats, mint, parsley, basil… and even certain vegetable oils!
How is HA obtained?
The extraction is obtained via bio-fermentation, from a plant such as wheat or soy, for example. It is then purified and dehydrated. Turned into a powder, water will be added, which will give it a gel texture.
Did you know: In commerce, hyaluronic acid sometimes came from animals, but this is tending to disappear.
