The Claim

In women aged 45 to 60 with healthy skin, daily ingestion of a hyaluronic acid solution (≥1 MDa) diluted in a cascade-fermented organic whole food concentrate containing biotin, vitamin C, copper, and zinc for 40 days is associated with a 24.4% increase in skin hydration, a 13.3% increase in skin elasticity, a 16.9% decrease in skin roughness, and a 26.4% reduction in periorbital wrinkle depth, as measured by objective instrumental assessments.

In plain English

Women aged 45 to 60 with healthy skin who consume a daily supplement containing hyaluronic acid (≥1 MDa) and other nutrients for 40 days show a 24.4% increase in skin hydration, a 13.3% increase in skin elasticity, a 16.9% reduction in skin roughness, and a 26.4% decrease in periorbital wrinkle depth when measured by instruments.

Why this might work

When hyaluronic acid is swallowed, it passes through the gut where bacteria break it into smaller pieces that enter the bloodstream. These pieces travel to the skin and signal skin cells to make more hyaluronic acid and multiply. The extra hyaluronic acid holds water, making the skin plumper and moister. At the same time, the hyaluronic acid reduces damage from harmful molecules in the skin, which protects the fibers that keep skin firm and elastic. This keeps wrinkles shallow and skin smooth.

    This study found that women aged 45 to 60 who took a daily drink with hyaluronic acid and other nutrients for 40 days ended up with moister, firmer, smoother skin and fewer wrinkles around their eyes — just like the claim says.
