Stay Youthful by Choosing HA Rich Cosmetic Products

Image
Accepting that you are getting older and losing your youthful look is something not very easy. This is why the cosmetics industry is earning billions of dollars every year. The strong desire of looking young even beyond 40 years has given fame to every new anti-aging product and treatment in the market. Regardless of the possible drawbacks of such products, people are just busy trying them in the hope of positive results. However, there is nothing good about risking your health, beauty, and earnings in this way. Instead of blindly going for every possible way to achieve the desired results, it is better to make a wise choice at this point.  With such a vast variety of anti-aging and several other cosmetic products in the market, it is easy to purchase something harmful for yourself. Here you must keep in mind that now your body is lacking those vitamins and minerals which you need for a healthy skin. So you need a product which can artificially supply all those missing requirements

Hyaluronic Acid – the Wound Healing Accelerator

Image
Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan, HA) is a polysaccharide produced by the body and common to most species. It is found throughout the human body, including the skin, joints, eyes, and other organs and tissues. It is an important structural component of the so-called extracellular matrix in the skin. The skin contains about 50% of the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body. The role it plays here is critical - it maintains the structure and integrity of the skin, and participate actively in wound healing processes and tissue repair. There is abundant evidence from clinical studies that the concentration of hyaluronic acid is elevated in the places of the body where a process of wound repair occurs. This discovery led scientists to experimentally test the idea if an exogenous, external to the body, application of HA intervention could be able to reduce the time of wound repair and improve the quality of the scar. According to some reports published, the capacity of hyaluronic acid to ret

Hyaluronic Acid Rich Eye Cream is More Effective

Eyes are the most sensitive part of our body, as is the skin around them. Mostly, it is easier to keep your face clean and fresh, but treating wrinkles and dark circles under eyes is definitely a challenge. You cannot get the best results by just using face or skin moisturizers and creams. This makes it important to choose wisely between different brands and qualities of eye creams available in the market. Of course, this choice depends more on your skin type and the problem you are facing, but hyaluronic acid, is a natural ingredient, is used in almost every case. So, whenever it comes to buying an eye cream, make sure you check HA is in the ingredient list. Although eye cream is mostly used to remove wrinkles and dark spots but moisturizing that area is important to maintain skin health. This hydration is due to water in the cream, but hyaluronic acid is more effective here. HA molecules can absorb up to 1000 times more mass of water than itself helping to stretch the skin and m

Bitter ginseng is what many people call as shrubby sophora, but it is a very different Chinese herb as compared to ginseng. The usage of this herb dates back to the first century BC by the Chinese, only a few years back was this astounding herb researched by the Europeans and since then it has been of widespread usage across the world.  If women get to know its real benefits, it would be a must have for all of them. The natural extract is extracted from its roots. Some of the benefits of this extract are given below. Throughout China, it is used as a treatment for Hepatitis B. It is also an anti-cancer herb. Along with this, it is an anti-oxidant, cholesterol lowering agent, reduces inflammation, anti-viral, antibiotic and also used for the treatment of liver disease, digestive problems, menopause, asthma, tonsillitis and regulates blood flow. As this herb has been used by many dermatologists to treat mild to severe skin diseases like psoriasis, you can expect many skin benef

Hyaluronic Acid Versus Cancer

Image
Long ago science has confirmed that cancer is primarily caused by changes in a cell's DNA. According to the American Cancer Society (2013), some of these changes may be inherited, while others may be caused by outside exposures, such as lifestyle factors (nutrition, tobacco use, physical activity, etc.), naturally occurring exposures, medical treatments, workplace exposures, household exposures and pollution. There are many reports and clinical studies indicating the beneficial effects of HA applications, whereas no data support the claim that HA products cause cancer.  Recent research highlights that the interactions between hyaluronan and tumor cells indicate a possibility of new therapeutic strategies and would even offer a new anti-cancer strategy. A lot of extensive clinical studies have confirmed that Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan, HA) has amazingly diverse and beneficial biologic roles in the body and is produced throughout human life.  It participates in the regulatio

What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic Acid is widely present in the connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, etc.) found everywhere in the body.  Its major functions here are binding, support, protection, and insulation. It is located as well in scalp and hair follicles, nourishing and hydrating the tissue which gives rise to hair. Beneficial effects have been reported of the supplementation with this substance on eye tissues, especially for people suffering from dry eyes. Hyaluronic acid is a substantial connective tissue component in the gums playing important roles in the regeneration of the gum tissue and reducing any inflammation that leads to bleeding gums. Recent research shows that the throat and other mucous membranes have large concentrations of HA. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is found in almost every cell in the human body and occurs in the highest concentrations in several specific body locations. The average Hyaluronic Acid in our bodies is estimated to be around 15 grams. It is distributed in almost e

What foods contain hyaluronic acid?

Native hyaluronic acid has a relatively short half-life (indicated in rabbits), so various manufacturing techniques have been deployed to extend the length of the chain and stabilize the molecule for use in medical applications. The introduction of protein-based crosslinks, the introduction of free radical scavenging molecules such as sorbitol and the minimal stabilization of HA chains by chemical agents such as NASHA (non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid) are all techniques used. The first hyaluronan-based biomedical product, Healon, was developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Pharmacia and approved for eye surgery (corneal transplantation, cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, and surgery to repair retinal detachment). ). Other biomedical companies also produce hyaluronic acid brands for ophthalmic surgery. In the late 1970s, intraocular lens implantation was often followed by severe corneal edema due to endothelial cell damage during surgery. It was evident that a viscous, clear, p

What Do You Use Dihydromyricetin For?

Image
Dihydromyricetin, also known as Ampelopsin, is a kind of flavanonol flavonoid. It was found in the Ampelopsis species japonica, megalophylla, and grossedentata. Also, it was approved existence in Cercidiphyllum japonicum; Hovenia dulcis; Rhododendron cinnabarinum and some Pinus species as well. Some Cedrus species and Salix sachalinensis had also been said to contain it. It significantly inhibits the catalytic activities of dihydropyrimidinase toward both the natural substrate dihydrouracil and xenobiotic substrate 5-propyl-hydantoin. To extract dihydromyricetin, numerous methods have been developed to extract ampelopsin from hovenia dulcis at large scales. Hovenia dulcis has been used in traditional Japanese, Chinese, and Korean medicines to treat fever, parasitic infection as a laxative and a treatment of liver diseases. Dihydromyricetin exhibits a great inhibitory effect on the activities of dihydropyrimidinase for both substrates, even more than Myricetin does. Sometimes
