How it works

Oral supplementation is clinically shown to improve skin hydration and reduce wrinkle depth by increasing the body's natural hyaluronan synthesis. It also demonstrates efficacy in reducing joint pain and improving lubrication in individuals with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.

Acts as a humectant that binds up to 1000 times its weight in water, supporting the extracellular matrix of the skin and the viscoelasticity of synovial fluid in joints.
