Anyone over 40 should really think about taking this supplement. While there are many claims lot of claims about anti-aging effects from growth hormone, or this herb or that. There is no question that the loss of this substance over time is responsible for the visible signs of aging, wrinkled skin, hair loss, voice changes, diminished eyesight, wear-and-tear type osteoarthritis, yet little is known of this wonderful molecule.
A remarkable finding is that these visible aging signs can be reversed with oral HA supplements. For instance, a client, a 60 year old woman called me from her winter home in Arizona. She works at a golf course. Her knees were painful and "clicked" when she moved. She called to say, after just two weeks of taking 300 mg of daily oral HA, that her knee pain had disappeared, her husband had told her that her facial skin looked better than following two previous surgeries, her hair dresser also reported that her hair had begun to grow and was thicker, and, her chronic eye dryness and need for reading glasses disappeared! Others have written or called to say they had canceled knee or other joint surgeries, their wrinkles had disappeared, and friends began asking if they had undergone plastic surgery. The visible results of oral HA supplementation can sometimes be remarkable and rapid.
While we focus much on the main proteins in skin—collagen and elastin—when we look at skin health another cause of the degeneration of collagen is the decrease in hydrated HA, which supports collagen. This is why skin moisture is so important. Putting moisturizers on the skin surface helps, but this is like using a small Band-Aid on a large cut. Replenishing skin HA is much more important. Drinking plenty of fluids also helps keep the HA hydrated. HA helps keep the collagen intact and smoothes out the skin to prevent wrinkling.
There are no foods high in HA. Actually, a good example of an equivalent is Echinacea, which helps to protect and retain HA levels in the body this cannot be taken on a longterm basis. Other nutrients such as bioflavonoids (quercetin, bilberry, cranberry, green tea, grape seed, others), ferulic acid from Ginkgo biloba and oryzanol in rice bran, as well as IP6 phytic acid, all of which bind to iron and copper and some which inhibit viral replication, help to retain HA levels.
One form of oral HA is derived from rooster combs. Historically it is interesting that during a famine in China, rooster combs were consumed in an effort to get more calories out of chicken, and people noted improved skin health. Soon rooster combs were sought after as a beautifying food. There are reports that Marie Antoinette favored rooster combs for her complexion. Eventually, rooster combs were eaten as a delicacy in France, northern Italy and China.
It is important to choose a VERY VERY good bioavailable product and use it consistently for at least a month or two. Here's ours-FREE shipping! I do not recommend buying it from other sources because HA is very perishable and will degrade if not stored under optimal conditions. Topically, HA is prevalent in most of my AWESOME topical skin products but again, we use the best which make a difference in a matter of DAYS, according to my clients. Here is a MIRACLE product!
