Hyaluronic acid in one glance
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the body’s most important moisture-retaining molecules. Found in skin, eyes, and joints, it binds water and gives tissues their smoothness, plumpness, and resilience. Youthful skin is naturally rich in HA, but levels decline steadily with age. From the mid-30s onwards, the body both produces less and breaks it down faster, resulting in dryness, loss of firmness, and visible fine lines. Supplementation offers a refined way to replenish HA stores from within, supporting skin hydration, elasticity, and overall comfort as we age.
The essentials
What it is: A glycosaminoglycan, a sugar-based molecule naturally present in connective tissues, that binds water and maintains hydration in skin, joints, and eyes.
Why it matters: HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, keeping skin supple and cushioning joints. Declining levels are a hallmark of ageing, contributing to fine lines, reduced elasticity, and stiffness in movement.
Life stage relevance: HA peaks in our 20s, but by our 40s and 50s, levels have dropped significantly, making replenishment an elegant strategy to preserve vitality and radiance.
Results from within
Not all hyaluronic acid is the same. For oral supplementation to be effective, HA must be carefully developed, standardised, and tailored to the right molecular weight so it can be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Without proven absorption, it cannot reach the skin or joints in meaningful amounts and therefore cannot deliver results. Clinical studies confirm that well-developed oral HA improves skin moisture, elasticity, and wrinkle depth, while also supporting joint flexibility and comfort.
Natural sources
Unlike vitamins and minerals, hyaluronic acid is not present in meaningful amounts in everyday foods. Bone broth contains small traces, but they are neither standardised nor consistent. Instead, nutrients such as collagen, vitamin C, and polyphenols support the body’s natural HA synthesis and protection. For consistent and measurable results, supplementation with standardised HA of proven bioavailability is the most reliable option.
Three things to look for in a hyaluronic acid formula
1. Defined and clinically proven dose – a quantified daily amount from a branded source, tested in human studies against placebo, and shown to deliver results in hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction.
2. Proven absorption – HA must be developed with a tailored molecular weight and validated for bioavailability; otherwise, it will not have systemic effects.
3. Purity, safety, and synergy – produced under pharmaceutical-grade standards with full traceability, and often combined with collagen, vitamin C, or polyphenols for a complete approach to skin vitality and graceful ageing.
Hyabest™, our selected form of hyaluronic acid
What it is
Hyabest™ is a premium, clinically studied form of hyaluronic acid manufactured in Japan, where precision and purity in HA research have been pioneered by Kewpie Corporation. Developed with a defined molecular weight for proven absorption, Hyabest™ is designed for consistency, bioavailability, and safety—making it a gold standard in oral HA supplementation.
What the research shows
- Skin hydration & elasticity: supplementation improves moisture levels and reduces wrinkle depth, particularly in women over 35.
- Visible results: improvements in smoothness and radiance typically appear within 6–8 weeks of daily use.
- Joint comfort: Hyabest™ also supports flexibility and mobility, reflecting HA’s natural role in cartilage and synovial fluid.
Why we selected it
Hyabest™ represents a refined form of hyaluronic acid: clinically validated, traceable, and safe. It aligns with our philosophy of minimalist, science-led formulations that deliver tangible results. Our Beauty Complete formula provides 120 mg Hyabest™ per daily dose (two capsules), a level consistently used in clinical research to support hydration, elasticity, and radiance.
