Several studies have shown that taking Hyaluronic acid supplements (HA) helps the knee joints [2,3] and the skin [1, 4-7, 9]. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, participants that had rough and dry skin received 240 mg/day of HA for 6 weeks. Evaluations by a dermatologist determined that the conditions of dry skin in face and body were significantly improved in those who supplemented with HA compared with the placebo group after 3 weeks and 6 weeks. It was also found that taking a supplement with Hyabest (S) (a highly purified powder form of hyaluronic acid) of at least 120mg a day increased skin moisture and improved dry skin.[1] Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is an essential nutrient that is well known for its ability to support strong, vibrant skin (scalp) and hair. Consuming biotin regularly helps prevent the occurrence of scalp irritation and hair loss High potency biotin supplements help improve skin, hair, and nail health, while targeting a number of complications that are linked to a biotin deficiency such as hair loss, brittle nails, and skin problems (e.g., irritation, inflammation, rashes, infections) [8-10]

Hyaluronan (HA) exists in many tissues of your body and it is essential part of building moisture in your skin's tissues. HA is an important substance that maintains healthy skin. In a double blind clinical study done in Japan, it was found that taking a supplement with Hyabest (S) (a highly purified powder form of hyaluronic acid) of at least 120mg a day increased skin moisture and improved dry skin. Taking oral supplements with Hyabest (S) hyaluronic acid contributes to the increased synthesis of HA and promotes cell proliferation in fibroblasts. These effects reveal that Hyabest (S) supplements moisturize the skin and improve the quality of life for people who suffer from dry skin.
