Hyaluronic acid powder

Countless creams, serums and ampoules rely on the moisturising beauty ingredient, which makes the skin appear smoother and fresher immediately. Unfortunately, this immediate visual effect is usually not long-lasting - which is no wonder, as ‘hyaluronic acid for creams’ usually only scratches the surface of the skin.

Hyaluronic acid also reaches deeper layers via the oral route and can develop its moisture-retaining properties from there. Although you need to be a little more patient when drinking or swallowing hyaluronic acid, the anti-ageing effect is deeper, longer-lasting and not just limited to the treated areas of skin.

Hyaluronic acid powder to drink or capsules?

The advantage of hyaluronic acid powder or hyaluronic acid to drink is that hyaluronic acid can be easily combined with other ‘volumising’ skin active ingredients (such as collagen or collagen building blocks).Capsules and tablets can also provide hyaluronic acid - however, the ‘volume problem’ makes it somewhat more difficult to combine with other skin active ingredients in effective quantities. Hyaluronic acid powder is also available as a tasty hyaluron drink or in a neutral flavour for stirring into coffees, teas or smoothies. If you don't feel like swallowing capsules - we have the solution.

Is there vegan hyaluronic acid powder?

For a long time, hyaluronic acid powder was obtained exclusively from animals. It has now become possible to produce vegan hyaluronic acid. GREENIURONIC® represents the revolution in vegan hyaluronic acid. The world's first patented purely plant-based hyaluronic acid is obtained from Tremella extract. Its skin-caring effect has already been confirmed in several studies. For example, 100 - 300 mg daily reduces the formation of wrinkles, supports cell regeneration, improves skin elasticity and stimulates wound healing.

For a daily boost of freshness, hyaluronic acid powder is dissolved in water and then consumed. It is best to follow the manufacturer's recommendation for the amount of water used.

How much hyaluronic acid powder should you take per day?

The amount of hyaluronic acid powder that should be taken daily depends on the individual starting point, the product used and the reason for use. For a more youthful complexion, for example, 100-300 mg of hyaluronic acid (GREENIURONIC®) is recommended daily.

For joint complaints (where hyaluronic acid is needed for the quality of the synovial fluid), dosages start at 50–100 mg daily, whereby hyaluronic acid should also be combined with other cartilage-relevant and anti-inflammatory nutrients for joint issues. If you would like individual advice on the dosage of hyaluronic acid powder, you should contact specialised doctors, practices or wellness facilities.

Take hyaluronic acid powder in the morning or evening?

When taking hyaluronic acid powder, the time of day is generally not important. However, some experts swear by taking the powder in the evening, as the body regenerates while you sleep.

Can you take collagen and hyaluronic acid powder together?

Collagen and hyaluronic acid powders can not only be taken together without any problems – their combination is highly recommended! Both beauty ingredients complement each other in their slow-ageing qualities and boost each other's effect. While hyaluronic acid is a potent moisture magnet that hydrates and plumps the skin from the inside out, collagen stores moisture and gives skin tissue firmness and elasticity.
