Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a natural compound found in skin that has many important functions; including holding in moisture, providing cushioning, aiding in tissue repair, holding together the skin structural components, collagen, elastin, and helping to create a protective barrier against microorganisms.
The surface layers of the skin are supported from below, by columns of fibers made up mostly of collagen and elastin.
This network of fibers forms the molecular sponge known as connective tissue.
The spaces within this sponge are filled with a composition of water, protein complexes, and hyaluronic acid.
This jelly-like complex transports essential nutrients from the bloodstream, via the capillaries in your skin.
Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water, which is what plumps your skin so that wrinkles and lines are less visible.
Also a lack of Hyaluronic acid, in the body joints can set in progressive wear and tear leading to cartilage destruction, joint pain, reduced flexibility and osteoarthritis.
Hyaluronic acid can help with healing because it provides the cushioning between the joints that then enables cartilage to re-stabilize, whereas a lack of Hyaluronic acid causes pain in movement and keeps the joint chronically inflamed leading to progressive wear.
