Hyaluronic acid is no longer an insider tip – it has been established in skin care for years. But more and more people in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are also discovering it as a dietary supplement. What's behind it?
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (also: hyaluronan) is a naturally occurring molecule found in various tissues in the human body – especially in the skin, joints, and eyes. It belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans and is known for its ability to bind water.
Oral hyaluronic acid – how does it work?
Orally ingested hyaluronic acid is broken down into smaller building blocks in the digestive tract and absorbed by the body. High-quality preparations rely on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, as these molecules are smaller and more easily bioavailable.
Quality note: When buying, pay attention to the molecular weight (ideally under 300 kDa) and a clear declaration of ingredients without unnecessary additives.
Who is hyaluronic acid as a supplement interesting for?
Hyaluronic acid as a dietary supplement is valued by many people who:
-
value well-groomed, moisturized skin and want to supplement their skin care from within
-
are active and athletic and want to support their joints in everyday life
-
maintain a holistic beauty routine and rely on high-quality supplements

What should you look for when buying?
Not all hyaluronic acid preparations are the same. Here are the most important quality criteria:
-
Molecular weight: Low molecular weight (< 300 kDa) for better bioavailability
-
Origin: Fermentatively produced hyaluronic acid (vegan) or from animal sources – clearly declared
-
Purity: No unnecessary fillers, dyes, or preservatives
-
Dosage: Typical amounts in studies are between 80–200 mg daily
-
