Last Monday I told you about a Marie Claire article on oral supplements for skin antiaging. Marie Claire recommended antioxidants, B vitamins, Omega 3 and 6 Essential Fatty Acids, Hyaluronic Acid and probiotics. I was surprised to see Hyaluronic Acid (HA) supplements on the list and have since researched it.
An ABC News special titled "The Village of Long Life: Could Hyaluronic Acid be an Anti-Aging Remedy?” reported on the Japanese village of Yuzuri Hara, two hours outside of Tokyo, where people who follow the unique traditional diet high in HA routinely live active and healthy lives into their 90s and beyond.
However, Dr. Ray Sanhelian, a physician widely recognized as a moderate voice in the evaluation of natural supplements, has this to say about HA supplementation, “Hyaluronic acid oral supplements are promoted for arthritis and many other conditions including skin health. I have not come across any human trials with an oral form of hyaluronic acid for joint or skin health.” At this point, he is suspending judgement on whether HA supplements can keep your skin young and moist.
But don’t despair. A component of HA has been shown to have the very benefits recently attributed to HA.
Here is more about hyaluronic acid.
