According to Jiangsu public news channel "News 360" reported: Nowadays, there are more and more "hyaluronic acid foods" on the market, such as hyaluronic acid gummies, hyaluronic acid drinking water, and even some milk tea shops have also launched hyaluronic yogurt tea, which is welcomed by many consumers. Can hyaluronic acid really be eaten? Can oral hyaluronic acid play a beautifying effect?
The reporter searched for "hyaluronic acid food" on some e-commerce platforms and found that many products were selling hot. One of the hyaluronic acid drinking water products claims that each bottle is rich in 83 mg of hyaluronic acid, which can effectively hydrate, and the price is 9 yuan a bottle. There are also many hyaluronic acid gummy products, which claim to be "edible hyaluronic acid, skin beautification without burden", and the sales volume is very high. Even the milk tea industry has also blown up hyaluronic acid wind, in March this year, the reporter visited some milk tea shops in Nanjing, and bought milk tea containing hyaluronic acid ingredients.
Hyaluronic acid, also known as "hyaluronic acid", is a natural moisturizing substance that exists in the human body itself, and is widely present in the joint cavity, skin and other tissues of the human body. As we age, its content gradually decreases, resulting in sagging skin, wrinkles, etc. Ways to supplement hyaluronic acid include aesthetic injections and topical skin care products. In January 2021, the National Health Commission officially approved that hyaluronic acid can be applied in ordinary foods, and various hyaluronic acid foods began to appear. Is the hyaluronic acid eaten really effective? Doctors say there is very little research and insufficient evidence on oral hyaluronic acid for skin care.
Yu Xiaoyun, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology of Nanjing Second Hospital, said that first of all, hyaluronic acid is a macromolecular substance polysaccharide substance, which cannot be directly absorbed by the digestive tract, and must be digested and degraded into small molecules of sugar to be absorbed. After degradation, how much can be recombined into hyaluronic acid, or how much hyaluronic acid can be re-synthesized, and it is unknown whether it can enter our subcutaneous and skin tissues again, so we must look at these hyaluronic acid foods rationally.
According to the regulations of the National Health Commission, the recommended daily consumption of hyaluronic acid food should not exceed 200 mg, and infants, pregnant women and lactating women should not eat it. Doctors remind that it is more important to do a good job of sun protection than to try various hyaluronic acid foods to "fight aging". Wearing long clothes and trousers, wearing a mask, hat, sunglasses, and applying sunscreen in advance can effectively prevent the skin from getting old and dark.
