Hyaluronic Acid

Meaning

Hyaluronic Acid, or hyaluronan, is a large, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is a vital component of the extracellular matrix and connective tissues throughout the body. While often discussed in dermatology, its presence in synovial fluid and its role in tissue hydration are critical for physiological function. It is a key structural element supporting tissue turgor and lubrication.
