HydroHyal - hyaluronic acid

For connective tissue and the skin
The active substance in Plantina HydroHyal is N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. This substance is the most important component of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is known to increase the hydration of tissue and smoothen the skin. Specifically these characteristics give Plantina HydroHyal (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) it's preventing effect.

HydroHyal - hyaluronic acid

HydroHyal for smooth and attractive skin
In two studies it was demonstrated that Plantina HydroHyal (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) strengthens the skin. As the connective tissue ages, the quantity of hyaluronic acid declines. As a result, functionality declines, too. The skin looses volume and elasticity and becomes ‘dented’. Plantina HydroHyal (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) tops up the volume of hyaluronic acid, giving the skin back its volume and maintaining its natural elasticity.

Also connective tissue elsewhere, for example in the joints
Connective tissue occurs everywhere in the human body, where it carries out important regulatory functions such as in muscles, the intestinal wall and blood vessels. But also in the joints (ligaments and synovial membranes). The commonly used glucosamine is used for this purpose, but the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in Plantina HydroHyal is absorbed three times better in the tissue, and is present in the synovial fluid in the joints. N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is also the most important component of chondroitin.
