Hyaluronic acid: Miracle cure for beautiful skin and healthy joints

Supplier of Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate)

Hyaluronic acid is a natural polymer composed of disaccharides that occurs in almost all parts of the human body and plays an essential role in various physiological functions. It is most commonly found in the skin, joints (synovial fluid) and vitreous body of the eye. As a medical treatment, hyaluronic acid has been used for years for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) is used in the processing industry, for example, for the following applications:

  • Anti-ageing creams (cosmetics)
  • Food supplement (food)
  • Hyaluron filler (aesthetic medicine, urology)
  • Eye drops and nasal sprays (pharmaceutics)
  • Viscosupplementation, for example, for osteoarthritis (pharmaceutics)
  • Viscoelastics in ophthalmology (pharmaceutics)

Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturiser that is able to bind large amounts of water. The substance has volumising, firming and smoothing properties, but also regenerating and wound healing properties. In addition, for example, moisturising eye drops but also osteoarthritis injections contain hyaluronic acid.
