Hyaluronic Acid for eating

Hyaluronic acid, better known as "hyaluronic acid", is added to more than 70% of cosmetics. It is understood that the main hyaluronic acid skin care in the domestic market is mainly concentrated in two forms of external application and injection, but the National Health Commission issued an announcement on January 7 this year to approve Sodium hyaluronate (namely hyaluronic acid, also known as Hyaluronic acid, commonly known as hyaluronic acid) is a new food raw material, which can be applied to ordinary food.

In the industry, there has always been a saying "Talking about hyaluronic acid cannot bypass Freda". As early as 1992, Freda took the Lead in inventing bio-fermentation technology to extract hyaluronic acid and took the lead in large-scale working and transparent production in China. Hyaluronic acid has become the hyaluronic acid company with the largest production capacity in the world.

Since 2008, hyaluronic acid has been allowed to be used as a raw material in health products in China. In recent years, with the launch of research results from medical centers and scientific research institutions at home and abroad, the industry’s understanding of oral sodium hyaluronate has become more complete , With the announcement by the National Health Commission on January 7, 2021 of sodium hyaluronate as a new food raw material, it marks that my country’s oral hyaluronic acid market will further open up, and the domestic oral hyaluronic acid industry will usher in new Development milestones.

In Japan, the United States, Europe and other foreign markets, sodium hyaluronate has been used for many years and has been widely used in health food. As early as 1999, Freda began to study the role of sodium hyaluronate for oral beauty and applied for patents, and continuously led the industry to create multiple firsts. Based on years of research results, the first edible hyaluronic acid—— "Shanyan Oral Sodium Hyaluronate" is coming soon.

According to reports, the current hyaluronic acid concentration of the first product is more than twice that of competing products on the market. The unique multiple molecular weight is easier to be absorbed and more water-holding, and the product has no additives, no preservatives, no heavy metals, and no mineral oil. , Sugar-free and flavor-free redefines the industry's new standards. Compared with foreign oral sodium hyaluronate products, Shanyan oral sodium hyaluronate contains 100mg each, which can fully guarantee the daily needs of the human body, can nourish and repair the whole body mucosal tissues, such as the respiratory tract mucosa is moisturizing to the outside virus Pollution has strong resistance to pollution, protects and repairs the gastric mucosa, etc. Oral sodium hyaluronate is digested into the stomach, then decomposed and absorbed, and transported by the blood to various parts of the body, increasing endogenous sodium hyaluronate.

Open up a new track for hydrating skin care

At present, the mainstream hyaluronic acid skin care in the domestic market mainly focuses on topical hyaluronic acid and injection hyaluronic acid, and more than 70% of cosmetics are added with hyaluronic acid. The emergence of oral hyaluronic acid has innovated the application scenarios of topical smeared hyaluronic acid and satisfied the consumer groups not covered by injectable hyaluronic acid, thus opening up a new hydrating skin care track.

According to industry insiders, unlike cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid which only act on the surface of the skin for partial moisturizing, food-grade sodium hyaluronate can increase the endogenous hyaluronic acid through exogenous degradation, absorption and re-synthesis in the body. The content can make the skin moist, smooth, soft and elastic, thus having the effect of overall beauty and health care. In addition, the main component of synovial fluid like joint cavity is sodium hyaluronate. Oral products containing hyaluronic acid can increase joint synovial fluid, promote cartilage repair, inhibit inflammation, and relieve soreness.
