The Claim

In women aged 45 to 60, daily ingestion of a hyaluronic acid solution (≥1 MDa) in a cascade-fermented organic whole food concentrate for 40 days is associated with a 24.4% increase in skin hydration, as measured by Corneometer CM 825, rising from 39.32 to 48.87 capacitance units.

In plain English

Women aged 45 to 60 who consumed a specific hyaluronic acid supplement daily for 40 days showed a 24.4% increase in skin hydration, measured as a rise from 39.32 to 48.87 capacitance units using a Corneometer CM 825.

See the scientific wording

Why this might work

Hyaluronic acid taken by mouth is absorbed through the gut, broken down into smaller pieces by gut bacteria, and travels through the blood to the skin. There, it tells skin cells to make more of their own hyaluronic acid, which soaks up water and keeps the skin moist.

  1. Study: Ingestion of an Oral Hyaluronan Solution Improves Skin Hydration, Wrinkle Reduction, Elasticity, and Skin Roughness: Results of a Clinical Study

    Middle-aged women who took a daily drink containing hyaluronic acid and other nutrients for 40 days saw their skin get noticeably more hydrated, as measured by a special device that checks skin moisture — just like the claim says.
