Oral hyaluronan relieves wrinkles: a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study over a 12-week period

Abstract: BackgroundHyaluronan (HA) has critical moisturizing property and high water retention capacity especially for human skin. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of oral intake of HA.MethodsThe mean molecular weight (MW) of HA is 2 k and 300 k. Sixty Japanese male and female subjects aged 22–59 years who presented with crow’s feet wrinkles were randomly assigned to the HA 2 k or HA 300 k at 120 mg/day or the placebo group. The subjects were administered HA at a rate of 120 mg/day or a placebo for 12 weeks. The… Show more

“…These findings are supported by other oral nutrition intervention studies where similar bioactive ingredients or sources were utilized, and similar results or the basis (the architecture) for the current results were found. [10][11][12]15,22,23 As the objective Canfield Visia-CR™ system was utilized for skin analysis, we also employed the subjective modified FACE-Q questionnaire as a means of capturing more robust information. The results on the subjective questionnaire in part support the objective improvements in overall skin appearance as observed with a reduction in crow's feet by week 4; however, the potential for placebo response cannot be discounted, as there were also aspects of the study that were not different between the groups.…”

“…Subjects ingested 120 mg of HA per day. By week eight, those randomized to the HA group achieved significant improvements in skin wrinkles (such as crow's feet, etc) . This may be due in part to the “moisture” effect that hyaluronan has in human skin.…”

“…After 12 weeks, the winkle parameters improved in both HA groups compared to the placebo. The 300 kDa HA worked somewhat faster (Oe et al, ).…”
