Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in abundance in young
skin, synovial fluid, and other tissues in humans and animals. It is a linear
polysaccharide in the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family and is referred to as the
“cement” that bonds tissue components together. These substances form a
jelly-like complex that is necessary for the transportation of essential
nutrients from the bloodstream to the living cells of the skin. Hyaluronic
acid is used extensively in the cosmetic industry and by dermatologists in
anti-aging and moisturizing products due to its hydroscopic (absorbs and retains
water) properties. In fact, hyaluronic acid can absorb more than 1,000
times its weight in water allowing it to hydrate the skin and other areas that
it contacts. In addition to its hyper-hydration properties, hyaluronic acid
is also known for its role in wound healing and in the prevention of scarring.
Hyaluronic acid is the extra-cellular matrix (the fluid between skin
cells) that acts as the transportation system for the cascade of events that
happen in wound healing. Hyaluronic acid isn’t just about skin health.
It also acts as a major internal lubricant in human joints. In our joints,
hyaluronic acid is a long, complex molecule that takes on a ball-like shape
that resists compression. When injury or inflammation to a joint occurs, the
hyaluronic acid molecule breaks down, becomes less effective in maintaining
its ball-like shape, and cannot provide a cushion of protection in the joint.
