Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body. One of its principle characteristics is its ability to retain water, which contributes significantly to the skin maintaining a youthful appearance.
Like many other essential factors, the levels of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases with each passing year. As these levels decrease it adversely impacts the skin's ability to retain moisture, thus leading to those inevitable wrinkles.
Although hyaluronic acid is becoming an integral component of anti-aging skin care products, it is also used to promote healing, alleviate issues that develop with connective tissue such as joint movement as well as in treating some eye disorders. Solaray Hyaluronic Acid is enteric coated, which helps the capsules survive the stomach acid and pass into the small intestine where it is absorbed. This formula contains Ascorbic Acid to further assist metabolism of hyaluronic acid.
