Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid: a substance naturally found in the body as a supplement

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body. It is found in the skin, joints, eyes and connective tissue, among other places. Hyaluronic acid is used in both cosmetics and dietary supplements. In this range, you will find hyaluronic acid as a supplement, either on its own or in combination with other ingredients.

The products range from pure hyaluronic acid capsules to complexes in which hyaluronic acid is combined with collagen. Below you will read what hyaluronic acid is, what forms it is available in and what to look out for when comparing.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans. It occurs naturally in the skin, joints, eyes and connective tissue and can bind a lot of water as a molecule. In the body, hyaluronic acid is continuously produced and broken down. As a supplement, it is usually obtained through a fermentation process and processed into capsules, tablets or powder.

Hyaluronic acid and collagen

Hyaluronic acid is often combined with collagen in supplements. Collagen is a protein that, just like hyaluronic acid, occurs naturally in the skin and connective tissue. In this range, you will find various combinations, such as hyaluronic acid with collagen type 1 or with collagen type 2. These complexes combine both ingredients in one product, which is practical for those who want to use them together.

Forms: capsules, tablets and powder

Hyaluronic acid is available in various forms. Capsules and tablets are convenient for a fixed dosage and easy use on the go. Powders, often collagen complexes with hyaluronic acid and a flavour, are dissolved in water or another drink and make it possible to adjust the dosage flexibly. Which form is most convenient depends on your preference for swallowing or drinking.

Molecular weight

With hyaluronic acid, a distinction is sometimes made between high- and low-molecular hyaluronic acid, which refers to the size of the molecules. Manufacturers do not always mention this. If the molecular weight is important to your choice, check the label or product description to see if this information is provided.

What to look out for when choosing

When comparing hyaluronic acid products, look at the amount of hyaluronic acid per serving, whether it is pure hyaluronic acid or a complex with collagen, and the form (capsule, tablet or powder). The number of servings per package and, for powders, the flavour are also practical factors to consider. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging.
