Glycosaminoglycan that retains moisture in joints and skin

We rank Hyaluronic Acid by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Hyaluronic Acid is a glycosaminoglycan, which is a type of large molecule made of sugar chains that the body uses to hold onto water. It acts like a sponge to keep moisture in the skin and provides lubrication for the joints.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to help the skin stay hydrated and to support joint health. By retaining water, it helps keep tissues plump and reduces friction in the joints.

How it's made

To produce this for supplements, companies typically use bacterial fermentation. They grow specific types of bacteria in large tanks where the bacteria produce the acid as they grow, which is then purified and dried into a powder for capsules.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the fermentation process required to create high-purity powder is more complex than simple mineral extraction, though it is more affordable than rare botanical extracts.
