Have the years taken a toll on your appearance and ability to move with ease? Do you notice…
-
Your skin feeling drier and looking saggy and droopy?
-
Your joints feeling more achy and stiff?
-
Your eyes feeling dry and uncomfortable?
-
An increase in occasional gut issues?
All these symptoms may be due to lower levels of a substance called hyaluronic acid – which naturally declines with age as your body’s production slows.
By the time you turn 50, you can have up to 50% less of this important substance in your skin, joints, and tissues.
So, just what is hyaluronic acid?
It is an ingredient often found in pricey anti-aging skin serums, eye drops, lip balms and joint-supporting formulas, hyaluronic acid (HA) is a lubricating, clear substance that your body naturally produces.
Inside your body, HA is found in the greatest concentrations in your skin, joints, eye sockets and in other tissues where it helps retain collagen, increase moisture, and provide elasticity and flexibility.
Because of its negative charge, HA can absorb large amounts of water and expand up to 1,000 times in volume. This makes it a valuable space filler, lubricant and buffer in the matrix surrounding your cells.
This hydrated HA network acts as a sieve, controlling the transport of water and limiting the movement of anything that might threaten its integrity, such as destructive enzymes.
Hyaluronic acid is often recommended by dermatologists and other physicians for its ability to improve skin texture and appearance, increase joint comfort, and help reduce other symptoms associated with normal aging.
Let’s take a closer look at how it might benefit you…
How Hyaluronic Acid Can Help Give Your Skin a Youthful Glow
The aging of your skin is influenced by two different and independent factors:
-
Intrinsic aging – The unpreventable innate or normal aging of your skin, much like the aging of your organs, that is influenced by age-related hormone changes.
-
Extrinsic aging – The result of external factors, including UV light and environmental elements.
Both types of aging can lead to dryness, loss of elasticity, lines, and the breakdown of collagen. Youthful skin maintains its youthful-looking qualities, like firmness, elasticity, and resilience, because it has a high-water content.
As you age, you begin to lose some of that moisture. The key molecule for skin moisture is hyaluronic acid, which is found in nearly all your cells. Your skin soaks up about half of your available supply of HA to maintain a firm and smooth appearance.
A critical part of your skin, HA provides natural support for the dermis – the “plump” second layer of your skin. It helps deliver nutrients and keeps your dermis layer moist by pulling water from other parts of your body.*
Hyaluronic acid binds the water to skin cells, providing all the layers of your skin with valuable, rejuvenating moisture. Acting as a humectant, HA provides lasting hydration for your skin, helping to make it stronger, smoother and tighter.*
When taken orally, hyaluronic acid works from within to hydrate dry skin and promote soft tissue growth and collagen and elastin production. By helping your skin maintain moisture and elasticity, it can help you look more youthful – all from within.*
However, the potential benefits of hyaluronic acid go much further than skin deep…
Could These Whole-Body Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Be Yours, Too?
A long link of carbohydrate molecules bound together, hyaluronic acid is considered a glycosaminoglycan and functions in several different ways, including:
-
Hydration – Hyaluronic acid binds tightly to water and acts like a moisturizer for your tissues throughout your body.
-
Lubrication – Acting as a shock absorber, hyaluronic acid binds with water to become a viscous gel, providing lubrication in your joints for comfortable mobility.
-
Helps repair tissue – As the main component of the matrix surrounding your cells, hyaluronic acid is one of the key players in the tissue regeneration process.
-
Growth of cartilage and bone – Hyaluronic acid supports the healthy growth and development of the cartilage and bone in your joints by promoting the growth of new cells and tissues.*
-
Inflammatory response support – Hyaluronic acid supports an already normal inflammatory response and plays an important role in comfortable, flexible joint movement.*
Hyaluronic acid has a very high capacity for retaining water, whether it is in your skin, in your eyes, in your joints or other tissues in your body.
Areas where hyaluronic acid tends to concentrate include your tendons, cartilage and skeletal tissues, your connective tissue, the membranes of your eyes to protect the lenses, heart valves, lungs, aorta and even a man’s prostate.
Hyaline cartilage, a type of hyaluronic acid that covers the ends of your bones, provides cushioning for comfort movement and resistance to wear and tear.
HA is also found in the synovial membrane in your joints, which forms a coating over your bones where they join. This is where synovial fluid is produced, the viscous fluid that helps joints absorb shock, remain elastic and carry nutrients to your cartilage.
Knee joint issues are a common complaint among adults of all ages.
In a study with 60 subjects experiencing knee joint concerns aged 60 and over, half received 200 mg of HA orally once a day and the other half were given placebo.
While both groups were also asked to do quadricep strengthening exercises, the group receiving hyaluronic acid experienced greater degrees of comfort and mobility and less stiffness than the placebo group.*
The Problem with Many Hyaluronic Acid Products
The most crucial limitations of HA are due to its short half-life inside your body and rapid breakdown, which contribute to poor bioavailability.
Orally administered HA typically shows low absorption, or bioavailability, due to its breakdown by enzymes in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract and difficulty absorbing it in your small intestine.
The wrong particle size can make a difference in how well you absorb hyaluronic acid. Larger particle size typically means lower absorption and utilization.
Hyaluronic acid is often sourced from animal products. While it originally came from rooster combs, it also can be obtained from shark skin or the vitreous humor of the eyes of cattle or pigs.
The problem with animal sources of HA is that they can contain endotoxin and protein residuals that interfere with your health. And they can be unpredictable from batch-to-batch since there is no control over the impurities and the molecular weight.
For all these reasons I prefer hyaluronic acid made from a lab-created fermentation process.
Bacterial technology makes it possible to obtain high-purity hyaluronic acid with low protein and endotoxin levels and consistent high molecular weight.
Why does molecular weight matter with hyaluronic acid?
Naturally occurring hyaluronic acid has a high molecular weight, making molecular weight an important factor in the health of joints.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid produces a thicker, more viscous, and elastic fluid than low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. The proper lubrication and shock absorption of your joints depend on the viscosity and elasticity of hyaluronic acid.
A supplement made with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid may provide less lubrication and shock absorption for your joints, leading to a greater risk for injury and degeneration.
Particle size matters when it comes to the absorption of hyaluronic acid. The smaller the particle size, the more ideal.

If your body can’t absorb something well, you can’t benefit. And that’s the problem with many popular supplements, like vitamin C and even hyaluronic acid.
Liposomes are a revolutionary way of solving this problem as they deliver the nutrients directly to your cells. Discovered by two scientists in 1964, liposomes act by mimicking natural cell membranes.
As you can see in the diagram below, liposomes encapsulate and surround the active ingredient to protect and deliver it to your cells and bloodstream.
However, regular liposomes aren’t without their limitations. The oral delivery of liposomes can be affected by barriers such as instability in your GI tract and difficulty crossing cell membranes.
Our Liposomal Hyaluronic Acid utilizes cutting-edge technology to help guarantee more of the hyaluronic acid works for you throughout your body…
The LipoVantage® Advantage for Greater Potential Benefits
As we’ve seen, the challenge of effective liposomal delivery depends on two variables. First, liposomes must be able to survive the harsh environment of your GI tract and then, they must penetrate the mucus layers of your intestines for optimal absorption.
