Injuv® Hyaluronic Acid is a patented hyaluronic acid supplement designed to smooth out fine lines, mask irregularities in the skin and lubricate the joints. Extracted from entirely natural sources, it offers exceptional bioavailability due to its very low molecular weight, achieved using a proprietary enzymatic technique. And the icing on the cake is that it comes in the form of oil-based capsules (softgels) to maximise its absorption.
Hyaluronic acid has, in recent years, attracted huge media coverage in the medical press. It is a polysaccharide macromolecule from the family of glycosaminoglycans which is found abundantly in the skin and synovial fluid (the thick, viscous liquid located between the joints). Around 50% of the body’s hyaluronic acid is in the skin.
Its hydrophilic physico-chemical characteristics make it the perfect choice of material as a ‘wrinkle-filler’ and for boosting the radiance of the skin.
Normally, hyaluronic acid supplements are relatively ineffective because the high molecular weight of hyaluronic acid means it is poorly absorbed by the body. Due to its large size, it has difficulty penetrating the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract.
Injuv® has been developed using an enzymatic technique which significantly reduces the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid without altering its chemical nature. This transformation makes it easily absorbed by the body for subsequent delivery to tissues.
The hyaluronic acid in Injuv® comes from rooster combs, a natural source that has been safely used for over 20 years.
Over time, the gradual decline in hyaluronic acid in the epidermis is a contributing factor in giving the skin a dull, aged appearance. To make matters worse, skin cells separate from each other, increasing water evaporation and making the skin even less radiant.
With its hydrophilic properties and gradual skin resorption, hyaluronic acid helps to smooth out fine lines and mask irregularities of the skin. It is used in many beauty supplements to provide an injection of radiance to the skin.
Exposure to the sun or use of tanning booths, and facial expressions, are the two best-known accelerators of wrinkles. Others include smoking, oxidant-rich smoke producing a dull, grey complexion, sleep problems and regular alcohol consumption. It’s therefore important to avoid these risk factors while supplementing with hyaluronic acid. .
Most dermatologists also advise against facial gymnastic exercises as they could, in the long term, accentuate wrinkles.
