What is Hyaluronic acid?
It's a clear, gooey substance that is naturally produced by your body, in largest amounts of it found in your skin, connective tissue and eyes, Its main function is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and moist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why you need it
we were born with an abundance of Hyaluronic Acid in our bodies. Ever notice how babies have smooth, full, and plump skin? It helps with smoothing out fine lines, and gives back the radiant glow to your skin, Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, which helps pull moisture into the skin and will plump up your wrinkles and soften the skin. It's great at bringing in moisture to parched skin, which is often an issue with acne skin.

- Hydration
Think of hyaluronic acid like a BIG drink of water for your skin. It is able to hold up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water. Hyaluronic acid penetrates the skin and binds water to skin cells, infusing all layers of the skin with valuable, rejuvenating moisture.
- Humectant
- Lipid Barrier Enhancement Our skin’s main function is to protect our body. Obviously, our skin protects our internal organs, muscles, bones, etc. from the outside world.
- Increased Resilience When the lipid barrier is further enhanced and protected by hyaluronic acid, the skin is better able to defend itself against environmental age-factors and pollutants. When it’s not fighting these toxins, the skin remains less wrinkled, brighter, and bouncier longer.
- Tighter Skin Tone No one wants saggy skin. Ever. As we age, the elastin in the skin breaks down, and skin loses its snap, or bounceback. A quick trick to check your elastin (the bounceback) is to pinch the skin on the top of your hand. If it snaps back quickly, you still have a lot of elastin. As you age, the skin won’t bounce back as quickly.
- Smoother Texture Much in the same way it makes the appearance of the skin look tighter, hyaluronic acid also smoothes the texture of the skin. This results in a silky smooth finish you can see and feel.
- Less Visible Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Stimulates Skin Cell Regeneration While it won’t speed up the cell renewal process, hyaluronic acid does help promote skin cell regeneration by offering extra hydration and barrier protection to the skin.
- Pigmentation Just like in point #8, when there is increased cell turnover, hyaluronic acid also helps reduce and prevent age spots and pigmentation issues. But, it cannot do it on its own.
- Clarity When oily skin is stripped of hydration (water) it overcompensates to hydrate the skin by producing oil. A big misconception is that oily and acne prone skins don’t need hydration, but in fact, they do.
1- Can Speed Wound Healing
Hyaluronic acid also plays a key role in wound healing.
It’s naturally present in the skin, but its concentrations increase when there is damage in the need for repair.
2- Relieve Joint Pain by Keeping Bones Well Lubricated
Hyaluronic acid is also found in the joints, where it keeps the space between your bones well lubricated
Soothe Acid Reflux Symptoms
New research shows hyaluronic acid supplements may help reduce symptoms of acid reflux.
When acid reflux occurs, the contents of the stomach are regurgitated up into the throat, causing pain and damage to the lining of the esophagus.
Hyaluronic acid may help soothe the damaged lining of the esophagus and speed up the recovery process.
Relieve Dry Eye and Discomfort
Approximately 1 out of 7 older adults suffer from symptoms of dry eye due to reduced tear production or tears evaporating too quickly
Preserve Bone Strength
New animal research has begun to investigate the effects of hyaluronic acid supplements on bone health.
Two studies have found that hyaluronic acid supplements can help slow the rate of bone loss in rats with osteopenia, the beginning stage of bone loss that precedes osteoporosis
Could Prevent Bladder Pain
Approximately 3–6% of women suffer from a condition called interstitial cystitis, or painful bladder syndrome

how to get hyaluronic acid and retain it
Unfortunately as we age our hyaluronic acid level get depleted or decrease (depends),also sun damage in fact 5 minutes in the sun breaks down hyaluronic acid so sunscreen is really important , however there are Serval ways to get hyaluronic acid
- Bone Broth
Eating bone broth is your best bet when it comes to hyaluronic acid. With the exception of animal products like chicken combs/cartilage (which is where supplements may be derived from), it can be tough to get direct sources of hyaluronic - Soy-Based Foods
It’s thought that an increase of estrogen may help production of HA by the body, Include foods like tofu, tempeh and edamame—which are all soy products that contain some estrogen—in your diet. note ( you don't have to consume much soy and if you want to consume make sure the soy source is organic and don't go overboard once a week is good enough imo and little estrogen will give you glow, just saying.) - Starchy Root Vegetables
Some research indicates that starchier root vegetables may increase the production of HA by the body, These foods include potatoes, sweet potatoes and other tubers such as jicama and Jerusalem artichoke. Luckily, those foods are also great sources of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin A and vitamin C, all of which are great for our bodies. - Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits all contain naringenin, which inhibits the breakdown of HA in the body, according to dermatologist Margarita Lolis, MD. In addition to fruits like oranges and grapefruits, tomatoes and bananas contain naringenin as well. “Eating grapefruits with breakfast and snacking on oranges and grape tomatoes during the day will absolutely lead to more supple glowing skin in as fast as three weeks,” she says. - Leafy Greens
Here’s one more excuse to drink your green juice: Foods like leafy greens contain magnesium, which is a necessary catalyst to help with HA production in the body. Other foods that are high in magnesium include avocado, nuts, fruits and seeds. Salads loaded with all these ingredients are a great way to boost magnesium content while getting your fair share of other nutrients along with it as well. - Flax seeds and walnuts: Being rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, flax seeds, and walnuts are great for the body. 1 cup of walnuts has 10.8 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids which is enough for your body. To promote good health and to boost the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, it is important to eat walnuts and flaxseeds. A diet rich in Omega-3 can also save you from heart diseases, improve brain development and growth.
- Black and green olives:
Besides using a top-rated hyaluronic acid moisturizer, you must eat green olives and black olives as they are rich in hyaluronic acid. The diet comprising of black and green olives can promote good health and boost HA content in the body. Since they are laden with sulfur, olives can boost collagen and HA in the body.
2- Skincare
- Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum
- Skinceuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier
- The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (great starter cheap and effective)
- CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum
- HYALU B5 PURE HYALURONIC ACID SERUM
