    Published in Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine

    Methodology

    Open-label clinical study of an oral hyaluronan solution with instrumental measurement of hydration, elasticity, roughness and wrinkle depth over 40 days

    Key Findings

    Skin hydration, elasticity and roughness improved significantly during supplementation, with the largest effects in participants over 45 years.

    Conclusions

    Uncontrolled data suggest skin benefits from oral hyaluronan but cannot exclude placebo effects.

    Limitations

    No control group; open-label; short duration.

    Supplements Studied

    Skin hydration, elasticity and roughness improved significantly during supplementation.

    Outcomes Measured

    Skin hydration, elasticity and roughness improved significantly during supplementation, with the largest effects in participants over 45 years.
