HYALURONIC ACID: EFFECT IN THE BODY
By now, everyone knows it – hyaluronic acid is said to be a miracle ingredient in the beauty industry, with special effects . It improves our skin, provides elasticity , combats wrinkles , and is a must-have in any good anti-aging cream. But did you know that hyaluronic acid is not only considered a miracle cure in anti-aging skincare, but also has a positive effect on joint elasticity and eye health?
In this article, we would like to take a closer look at the effects of hyaluronic acid – and how it can support your body from within.
WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID ?
Hyaluronic acid (also simply called hyaluronan ) is a polysaccharide that occurs naturally in the body, especially in the skin, bones and joints , and intervertebral discs. Due to its ability to bind water, the substance plays an important role in the body:
- Hyaluronic acid contributes to wound healing,
- is a component of synovial fluid and connective tissue ,
- influences the metabolism of cartilage
- It is present in the vitreous humor of the eye, which consists largely of water. There, it manages to bind over 98% of the total water content, despite only 2%.
From the age of 25, the body's hyaluronic acid content begins to decline, accelerating the skin aging process, gradually causing connective tissue to lose elasticity, and joint pain. To counteract this process, hyaluronic acid can be supplied to the body through dietary supplements or external treatments such as injections or creams .
HYALURONIC ACID EFFECT : WHERE CAN IT BE USED?
Many people associate hyaluronic acid with the cosmetics industry. It's no wonder, since it has earned a reputation over the years as a true miracle cure for wrinkles . But there are other areas where hyaluronic acid is effective :
Well-Aging
Because of its water-binding properties, hyaluronic acid is often found in moisturizing and anti-aging creams . It gives the skin elasticity (whether applied externally or internally) and makes it appear plump. In cosmetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is also used for wrinkle injections.
JOINTS
In recent years, medicine has also become aware of the valuable effects of hyaluronic acid : It is often used to treat joint pain and osteoarthritis (joint wear and tear). Because hyaluronic acid has a strong water-binding effect, it acts as a lubricant or shock absorber in the joints, thus alleviating pain.
EYES
Hyaluronic acid can be applied to dry eyes, for example, in the form of eye drops. It moisturizes the eyes and thus counteracts the feeling of dryness and burning.
WHAT FORMS OF HYALURONIC ACID ARE THERE?
LONG-CHAIN, HIGH MOLECULAR HYALURONIC ACID
As the name suggests, this form of hyaluronic acid consists of a long chain of molecules and has a high molecular mass. When applied in creams , it sits on top of the skin but doesn't penetrate. It leaves a film that can be completely removed with cleansing—therefore, there's no long-lasting effect.
SHORT-CHAIN, LOW MOLECULAR HYALURONIC ACID
This form consists of a short molecular chain and has a low mass. It penetrates deep into the skin and retains moisture in the connective tissue . The result: Your skin appears plumper, firmer, and wrinkles are reduced.
HYALURONIC ACID EFFECT ON THE FACE: HOW CAN YOU USE HYALURONIC ACID ?
FROM THE OUTSIDE
Most people are probably familiar with the application of hyaluronic acid in creams . This way, hyaluronic acid is delivered to the skin from the outside. Depending on its form, it either leaves a soothing film or penetrates deeper into the skin (see previous paragraphs).
FROM THE INSIDE
In the world of dietary supplements, hyaluronic acid has established itself as a leading player in recent years. This is no surprise, given that it's a true all-rounder, exerting a positive effect not only on the skin, but also on the joints and eyes. It's available either in liquid form or in capsules . The quality of hyaluronic acid is crucial for its effectiveness .
HOW IS VEGAN HYALURONIC ACID MADE?
In the past, hyaluronic acid was primarily extracted from rooster combs. At YLUMI, we stand for 100% vegan products of the highest quality. For the BEAUTY X HYALURONIC CAPSULES and BEAUTY X HYALURONIC REFILL, we therefore use 100% vegan, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid , which is extracted from fermented yeast using a complex process.
During this biotechnological process, certain extracellular proteins are fermented from yeast using bacteria. The hyaluronic acid is then purified through multiple filtering processes. This creates the purest form of hyaluronic acid , free of any animal substances. Therefore, you don't need to worry about allergic reactions or illnesses. Furthermore, the biotechnological extraction of hyaluronic acid increases its molecular weight, which means it has even better moisture-binding properties.
