As we age, fine lines start to bracket our mouth and radiate out from the corners of our eyes. These early aging signs get more noticeable as our skin gets dryer and less elastic over time. When the amounts of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the skin tissues decrease due to aging, the water retention and resilience of skin will be lost, thereby causing rough skin, and fine wrinkles. To address skin aging, supplements containing HA are becoming increasingly popular.

Injuv® is a dietary supplement containing 9% low molecular weight (50,000 Daltons to 200,000 Daltons) hyaluronic acid for oral consumption. The typical weight of HA ranges from 1 to 1.5 million Daltons. A Dalton is an arbitrary unit of measurement used in science. Hyaluronic acid is believed to ward off the aging process by helping the tissues of the body to retain moisture, keeping joints lubricated, protecting the retina, and keeping skin smooth and elastic.

The largest amount (approximately 50%) of HA in our body resides in skin tissue. When the amounts of hyaluronic acid in the skin tissues decrease due to aging, the water retention and resilience of skin will be lost, thereby causing rough skin and fine wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid-containing dietary supplements from natural sources such as rooster combs will help compensate for the decline in HA associated with aging.
