HydroHyal - hyaluronic acid

HydroHyal - hyaluronic acid

For connective tissue and the skin; against minor wrinkles
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 moisture retention and the elasticity of tissue. Specifically these characteristics help Plantina HydroHyal in preventing wrinkles.

HydroHyal for toned and attractive skin
In two studies it was demonstrated that Plantina HydroHyal strengthens the skin and prevents minor wrinkles. As the connective tissue ages, the quantity of hyaluronic acid declines. As a result, functionality declines, too. The skin looses volume and elasticity. The tissue becomes ‘dented’ and wrinkles appear at the surface. Plantina HydroHyal tops up the volume of hyaluronic acid, giving the skin back its volume and natural elasticity, and helping to eradicate wrinkles.

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.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar occurring naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid occurs in the connective fibre, the epithelia and in nerve tissues. Hyaluronic acid consists of two components, glucoronic acid and n-acetyl glucosamine or HydroHyal. Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in retaining moisture in the skin and maintaining the elasticity of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also an important component for healthy synovial fluid and joint cartilage.
