Hyaluronic Acid is an acidic substance that is also known as hyaluronan. It is naturally synthesized in our bodies. The maximum concentration of this acid is found in our skin cells. Followings are some important points about hyaluronic acid that you should surely know:
It binds with the water that is already present in our skin and then helps to retain it.
The recommended daily dose of hyaluronic acid is 120-240 mg. It reduces the risk of dry and scaly skin and improves the moisture content of our skin.
Exposing your skin to sunlight, ultraviolet radiations, pollution, or dust reduces the concentration of hyaluronic acid in your skin, so taking the supplements will surely fill up this deficiency
People who should avoid Hyaluronic Acid:
Hyaluronic Acid is excellent to use as a supplemental product but according to a clinical study it is highly contraindicated in the following individuals:
- Pregnant women: Some metabolites of Hyaluronic Acid may cross the placenta and cause skin-related issues in the fetus.
- Cancer patients: Some cancerous cells are more prone to growth with Hyaluronic Acid.
