HA is present in every cell in the body and serves numerous functions. Among many other things, it serves to lubricate joints, connective tissues, cartilage and muscles. It also maintains eye, gum, and scalp health, as well as skin elasticity and hydration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tWith age, however, the ability of the body to produce HA decreases, and we begin to experience signs of aging such as joint pain and stiffness, wrinkly skin, and other problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHyalogic is a pioneer and leader in the field of HA nutritional supplements.

One of the most heavily researched substances today. Its function in the body is, amongst other things, to bind water and to lubricate movable parts of the body, such as joints and muscles. Its consistency and tissue-friendliness allows it to be used in skin-care products as an excellent moisturizer. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most hydrophilic (water-loving) molecules in nature and can be described as \"nature’s moisturizer.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tWhy is Hyaluronic Acid so important to the skin?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tYoung skin is usually smooth and highly elastic because it has been known to contain high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, which helps skin stay healthy. As we grow older, the body loses its ability to maintain this same concentration in the skin. As a result, the skin can become unhealthy. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHow long has Hyaluronic Acid been used?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHyaluronic acid was first used commercially in 1942 when Endre Balazs applied for a patent to use it as a substitute for egg white in bakery products. He went on to become the leading expert on HA and made the majority of discoveries concerning HA. Hyaluronic acid has long been used in some of the top-selling commercial skin care products to support skin hydration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tBecause it is an acid, will it burn my skin?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tHyaluronic acid is often called an acid and this is a misnomer. Hyaluronic acid as a sodium salt (sodium hyaluronate)(Episilk™) will have a neutral pH measurement not an acidic. Because of the water-binding capacity of hyaluronic acid, it is actually very good for skin health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azure Standard","offers":[{"title":"0.47 floz","offer_id":45094744784930,"sku":"AZ-HB1061","price":35.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 floz","offer_id":45094744817698,"sku":"AZ-HB1060","price":52.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/8684\/0866\/files\/5f33f092-e089-4d13-bb93-273bd5f436d6.jpg?v=1775799270","url":"https:\/\/www.montavilla.coop\/products\/episilk-pure-hyaluronic-acid-face-serum","provider":"Montavilla Food Co-op","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
