Hyaluronic acid, or HA for short, occurs naturally in the human body and performs some very important functions. It lubricates joints and muscles for example, moisturises eyes, and the fluid that surrounds a baby in the womb is also rich in HA. Interestingly, 50% of the body's HA is in the human skin, where it is known as "nature's moisturiser". Experts think HA is able to bind up to 1000 times its own weight of water. Unfortunately, the body's production of HA diminishes with age. HA and collagen are both vital to maintaining the skin's layers and structures. Collagen gives the skin its firmness but it is HA that nourishes and hydrates the collagen. HA also acts as a 'space filler' between skin cells by absorbing water and helping to keep the skin wrinkle-free - as smooth as a baby's bottom, in fact.

Each vitamin is chemically different from the others and all have separate functions in the body. The overall action of the complex is to help maintain health particularly of the nervous system. B vitamins are vital for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and the conversion of food to energy. They help maintain clear eyes, and healthy looking skin and healthy hair.
