HYALURONIC ACID 25mg [5 vials]

(NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION RESEARCH USE ONLY) 

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)  x5 5mg vials 

is a naturally occurring sugar molecule found in the body's connective tissues, skin, and eyes. It is best known for its incredible ability to retain moisture, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. 

Biological Roles and Functions

HA acts as a crucial lubricant and cushioning agent throughout the body. 

• Joint Lubrication: It is a key component of synovial fluid, which prevents bones from grinding together and supports smooth movement.
• Skin Integrity: Approximately half of the body's total HA is found in the skin, where it maintains structural integrity, elasticity, and deep hydration.
• Wound Healing: It helps regulate inflammation and redirects blood flow to damaged tissue, facilitating faster repair. 

Common Applications

Due to its versatility, HA is used across several medical and cosmetic fields: 

• Skincare: Topically applied as serums, creams, or masks to plump the skin, smooth fine lines, and restore the moisture barrier.
• Medical Aesthetics: Injected as dermal fillers to restore facial volume, contour features, and fill deep wrinkles.
• Joint Therapy: Administered via intra-articular injections(viscosupplementation) to relieve pain in patients with osteoarthritis, particularly in the knees.
• Ophthalmology: Used in eye drops to relieve dry eye symptoms and as a surgical aid during cataract operations. 

Molecular Weights and Types

The effectiveness of HA often depends on its molecular size: 

• High Molecular Weight (HMW): Larger molecules that sit on the skin's surface to provide immediate hydration and form a protective film.
• Low Molecular Weight (LMW): Smaller fragments that penetrate deeper into the skin layers for long-term anti-ageing and deep-tissue hydration. 

Safety and Side Effects

HA is generally considered safe and well-tolerated because it is bio-identical to what the body already produces.
