Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a large carbohydrate polymer naturally present in skin, connective tissue and joint fluid. Its molecular structure allows it to bind substantial amounts of water.

• Scientific identity: Hyaluronic Acid; compound family: Non-sulphated glycosaminoglycan.
• How it works: A repeating two-sugar polymer: It is a glycosaminoglycan built from one disaccharide unit repeated thousands of times. Binds water: A single gram can hold many hundreds of times its own weight in water, which is the basis of its cushioning role.
• Primary function: It contributes to tissue hydration, cushioning and the normal moisture environment of skin and joints.
• What it supports: Hyaluronic Acid supports hydrated, comfortable skin and the natural cushioning environment around joints and connective tissues.
• Important consideration: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation.

CARPEDIEM selected Hyaluronic Acid for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It contributes to tissue hydration, cushioning and the normal moisture environment of skin and joints.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM Hair Skin Nails, CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM Women’s Beauty & Wellness Stack and other appropriate CARPEDIEM formulations.
• Works alongside: Hyaluronic Acid complements Vitamin C, Astaxanthin and Reduced Glutathione to support a more complete functional-wellness formulation.
• Meaningful contribution: Hyaluronic Acid supports hydrated, comfortable skin and the natural cushioning environment around joints and connective tissues. Supports the normal cushioning and lubrication environment found within joints.
• Quality and scientific context: Its contribution depends on ingredient form, quantity and the complete formulation. 1 ingredient-specific study is included because the research reports a relevant benefit.
