Matakana Hyaluronic Acid

Breakthrough In Understanding of

Hyaluronic Acid Uses

Hyaluronic
acid is a lubricating substance produced by the body and is present in
all connective tissue and organs (it is the main component that gives
them structure). 

Skin
is the organ which contains the most hyaluronic acid in the body,
however levels decline as we age, with a 75 year old having only 25% of what they had at 19 years of age.

When
orally ingested, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid is distributed
to all layers of the skin, connective tissue, organs and joints
supporting moisture/lubrication and structural integrity throughout the
body.

Hyaluronic acid provides a number of benefits to the skin including supporting moisture retention and elasticity.

Doubts raised over hyaluronic acid serums:

A 2020 double blind human study
found that topical skin serums containing hyaluronic acid performed no
better than placebo at achieving visible improvement in the skin. The
same study orally ingested hyaluronic acid achieved a significant result
in a relatively short span of time.

This means that to be effective, hyaluronic acid need to be taken orally for it to be properly distributed throughout the skin and body.

It's important that the hyaluronic acid ingested is of a high molecular weight which more closely matches the natural hyaluronic acid in the human body.

Low
molecular weight hyaluronic acid (often found in topical serums), has
been shown to promote inflammation in the body when ingested and should
be avoided in oral supplements.

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid supports healthy inflammatory responses and normal cell homeostasis (balance).

Matakana Health's Hyaluronic acid has a high molecular weight of 2.3 million Dalton.

Health Benefits:

Oral supplements with hyaluronic acid help to support hydration/lubrication of the body’s tissues and can support the proper functioning of a number of vital systems in the body.
