Hyaskin

Hyaluronan is a linear glycosaminoglycan polymer composed of a repeating disaccharide of β-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-glucosamine. Under normal physiological conditions, hyaluronan is typically secreted by cells as a high molecular weight polymer of up to 10,000 KDa and is present in synovial fluid and the extracellular matrix of many tissues.

The biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases as we age. The skin becomes thinner, loses its volume and elasticity, while suffering from reduced hydration, which are leading causes for wrinkles, weakened joints and the loss of cartilage. Oral intake of hyaluronic acid helps to replenish the lost hyaluronic acid.
