Hyaluronic Acid
How to Use It
Amounts for oral supplementation have not been established, due to lack of research, and it is unknown whether hyaluronic acid can be absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract. Topical products are applied in the mouth two or more times per day, to the nose three to four times per day, or with bandaging for skin ulcers. Eye drops containing 0.1 to 0.4% sodium hyaluronate are used three or more times per day, and ear drops containing 1% sodium hyaluronate are used once a day.
Where to Find It
Hyaluronic acid is produced in the human body and is found in the tissues of all animals. A nonanimal source of hyaluronic acid can be synthesised by bacterial fermentation.
Possible Deficiencies
Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally in the human body and is not considered an essential nutrient. However, hyaluronic acid levels in osteoarthritic joints are below normal.2
