HOW DOES IT WORK?

Hyaluronic acid functions as a cushion and lubricant for joints and various other tissues. It also affects the way the body responds to injury.

BENEFITS:

The levels of Hyaluronic acid which is naturally present in our body tend to fall as we age, almost by 50 percent. This loss is often accelerated by habits like smoking, magnesium and zinc deficiencies or by genetics itself which eventually results in painful joints and drooping skin. Therefore, it becomes imperative to supplement the naturally existing Hyaluronic acid concentration in order to promote healthy skin and flexible joints.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

FOOD:

Meat Soup: The boiling bones of chicken, beef, and meat are a healing medicine. It is a highly hyaluronic acid rich food and carries with it nutrients such as calcium, collagen, chondroitin sulfate, magnesium, etcetera.
Meat: Animal meat possesses high levels of hyaluronic acid. Meat such as, beef, lamb, pork and poultry products along with the eyeballs of fishes and other animals are sources of hyaluronic acid, and consuming it even in small amounts is highly helpful.
Soy: Soybeans or soy products possess high levels of isoflavones which in turn contain phytoestrogens. Due to these, soybean/soy products act as a very rich source of hyaluronic acid. The phytoestrogens, which act like estrogens, help produce hyaluronic acid in the body. Consuming products like tofu, cheese, and soymilk, act as a good source in the treatment of many diseases which arise due to the lack of hyaluronic acid in the system.

Vitamin C (Source): Vitamin C is essential in the production of hyaluronic acid in the body, and acts as a substitute for animal meat and meat soup. Papaya, kiwi, orange, berries, green vegetables, are some of the sources rich in Vitamin C.

Red Wine: Red wine is a product of grape skin which is a great source of phytoestrogen, which in turn help in creating hyaluronic acid in an indirect manner.

SKIN:

Collagen: Collagen, an important protein for skin elasticity and the renewal of cells, possesses more than fifty percent of the hyaluronic acid present in the body. It acts as a great source of moisture to the skin due to its ability to hold on to approximately s thousand times its molecular weight. All this leads to hyaluronic acid being an agent, which helps decrease wrinkles, helps in skin softening, and makes the skin smoother.
