Hyaluronic Acid For Skin Hydration
Hyaluronic acid is a space-filling, water-attracting molecule that holds 1,000 times its weight in water. For this reason, hyaluronic acid provides a plumping effect within the skin and reduces dryness and flakiness.* As we age, the hyaluronic acid content in our skin decreases and is broken down more quickly. However, hyaluronic acid supplementation not only adds additional hyaluronic acid to the system but it inhibits the breakdown of hyaluronic acid already present in the body, allowing it to be active for longer periods of time within the skin, joints and other tissues.*
Hyaluronic Acid Supports Joint Health*
Hyaluronic acid positively affects joint health in two main ways. It’s one of the main components of synovial fluid, the lubricating agent found within the joints. Synovoial fluid cushions our joints so they don’t absorb as much impact from daily use. Along with collagen, hyaluronic acid provides structural support for cartilage.*
Replenish Declining Collagen Levels*
Collagen is the most plentiful form of protein found in our body. Approximately 30% of the protein found in the body is collagen. Within the skin, this amount jumps to nearly 70% of total protein content. Collagen benefits multiple functions of the skin including providing structural support that keeps skin firm and tight. It also supports the skin’s moisture barrier and is a necessity for wound healing. Connective tissue found in the joints, such as cartilage, contain a high collagen content. Age, sun exposure, smoking and other lifestyle factors can deplete collagen. Supplementation provides the structural elements needed to enhance your body’s collagen stores.*
Biocell Collagen for Superior Absorption*
Hydrolyzed Biocell Collagen is a superior form of collagen due to its smaller molecule.* Collagen is a fairly large molecule that can be difficult for the gut to absorb. Breaking collagen down into smaller elements makes it more bioavailable for digestive absorption.* Biocell Collagen is a complete matrix of collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and MSM that has been shown in clinical trials to improve skin microcirculation, moisture, elasticity, suppleness and joint health.*
MSM’s Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
Methylsulfonylmethane, otherwise known as MSM, is a biologically active sulfur compound which is the fourth most common mineral in the body and is needed for numerous critical functions.* This versatile nutrient supports healthy, active lifestyles and benefits multiple structures and functions within the body, including connective tissues.*
