Where does hyaluronic acid come from?
Hyaluronic acid can be obtained either from animal tissue or produced through fermentation.
Cockscomb, being animal tissue, is a common source of hyaluronic acid. In vegan production, hyaluronic acid is created through the fermentation of yeast using glucose derived from corn. This version is often preferred today since it tends to cause fewer side effects.Where is hyaluronic acid produced?
Hyaluronic acid is produced by cells in connective tissue and is found especially in joints and other parts of the body that provide structure and support, such as intervertebral discs, skin, hair, nails, and eyes.

Effects
Hyaluronic acid helps dry skin hold more moisture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also support faster wound healing and quicker relief from joint pain. Additional benefits of hyaluronic acid include:
- Soothing symptoms of acid reflux
- Relieving dry eyes (hyaluronic acid eye drops are, for example, used daily to care for and hydrate the eyes)
- Supporting bone strength
- Reducing bladder pain
When you take hyaluronic acid daily, you typically start to notice its effects after 2 to 3 months.
Consuming Hyaluron
Consuming hyaluron can help strengthen your skin, hair, and joints.
It can be easily dissolved in water, juices, or smoothies.
Evidence Supporting the Effectiveness of Liquid Hyaluron
In a study (1), participants who took hyaluron over 8 weeks experienced significantly reduced wrinkles compared to the placebo group. Additionally, skin radiance and smoothness showed significant improvement after 12 weeks.
In another study (2), oral supplementation with hyaluronic acid enhanced skin moisture, reduced wrinkles, improved elasticity, and smoothed skin roughness.A clinical study (3) also reported positive effects on symptom relief and quality of life improvement in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
When should you start supplementing with hyaluronic acid?
The body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid begins to decline after the age of 25. By the time you reach 40, it has already decreased by half. That’s why you should provide your body with hyaluronic acid.
Compared to hyaluronic acid from the inside, injections into the skin come with some disadvantages:
- The body is unable to absorb hyaluronic acid this way and cannot process it effectively. Long-term effects are therefore not achievable.
- Injections can cause unwanted side effects and allergic reactions in some people, such as pain, redness, itching, swelling, and bruising.
Experiences with JARMINO Beauty Collagen
Our customer Elvira, aged 54, drinks our Beauty Collagen daily — a special blend of hyaluronic acid, collagen, dietary fiber, and micronutrients. After 12 weeks, she shared her experience with us:
“Dear JARMINO team,
I’m writing because I want to give you my highest praise. I’m 54 years old, and as you can imagine, dealing with a few wrinkles on my face isn’t exactly something that makes me happy. So, I went to my dermatologist and asked what could be done about them. She said that hyaluronic acid would help, but before I went for an injection, I should first try taking hyaluronic acid supplements. While browsing online, I came across your product, which really convinced me because of its natural ingredients and lack of additives. Now, at the end of my third month using it, I’m absolutely thrilled. My skin has become so wonderfully soft, and the small wrinkles have improved a lot, with some even completely disappearing. Overall, my facial expression looks fuller again, and my complexion is noticeably more radiant. My friends immediately noticed, and I even received compliments. Huge praise from me—this is a wonderful product that will definitely stay part of my daily routine!
Warm regards,
Your customer Elvira”
Our customer Gabi (61 years old) writes:
“Dear team, I want to tell you that your Beauty Collagen product (a blend of hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamin C, biotin, zinc, dietary fiber, and apple cider vinegar) is simply outstanding. Last year, I had hyaluronic acid injections three times for my facial wrinkles; while the results were good, they only lasted a few weeks each time. Also, after injections, I always had some bruises on my face for a few days, which, of course, isn’t pleasant at all. That’s when I started looking for an alternative and discovered that you can actually drink hyaluronic acid. I’ve been doing this for 7 weeks now with your Beauty Collagen, and I’m absolutely thrilled. The fine lines and small wrinkles have vanished, and my skin looks fantastic. For me, this is definitely a much better approach than injections. Thank you so much!!“
You can enjoy hyaluronic acid by taking it orally - no injections, no tablets needed.

Foods Rich in Hyaluronic Acid
Here are some delicious foods that naturally contain hyaluronic acid:
- Fruit: Strawberries, raspberries, currants, kiwi
- Vegetables: Broccoli, red bell peppers, beetroot
- Fish / Meat: Beef bone broth, salmon, beef, veal, lamb, chicken, duck
- Herbs: Parsley, coriander, green and red peppercorns
- Beans / Legumes: Soybeans, peas, lupins
- Fermented: Cabbage, Kimchi
Plant-based foods like root vegetables, leafy greens, soy products, and of course the homemade bone broth from JARMINO are excellent sources.
There is scientific evidence (Study 1) suggesting that the body can absorb hyaluronic acid from food through the digestive tract, allowing it to reach the relevant connective tissues. Eating foods rich in vitamin C and amino acids can naturally boost your body’s production of key nutrients that support healthy skin. Oranges, bell peppers, kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and strawberries are all excellent sources of vitamin C.

Taking Hyaluronic Acid
It’s recommended to take between 200 and 450 mg of hyaluronic acid daily. This is the dose that has been shown to achieve the best results in studies.
To notice an effect from taking hyaluronic acid orally, you should take it daily for at least 2 to 3 months. Only then can it work effectively enough for you to feel improvements both on and inside your body.
Traditionally, hyaluronic acid has been used as an injection to support joint structure. New research findings show that the oral intake of hyaluronic acid is also effective, especially for improving joint health and reducing wrinkles.
Studies show that hyaluronic acid...:
- Is partly absorbed intact.
- Is partly broken down into its components and absorbed that way. Hyaluronic acid supplies the essential building blocks your body needs to naturally regenerate its own hyaluronic acid.
- It also encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract, supporting your immune system and contributing to the overall health of your joints and connective tissues throughout the body.
Why hyaluronic acid is so important for your skin
When taken regularly, hyaluronic acid helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by locking moisture into your skin and creating a beautiful plumping effect. When the skin is well protected and hydrated, it encourages increased production of skin cells because it no longer struggles to retain moisture. By binding water, the skin is gently “plumped up,” making wrinkles appear less noticeable.
For these reasons, we prefer to avoid injections—even if they’re quick to administer. Creams are certainly more comfortable to use, but the effectiveness of creams containing hyaluronic acid remains debatable. The best approach is to take hyaluronic acid from the inside, as it’s essential not only for the skin but also for the eyes and joints. A cream can barely deliver that level of care.
Additional benefits for your skin include:
- It locks in moisture and strengthens your skin’s natural protective barrier, helping to prevent acne from forming.
- It keeps both your face and hair well-hydrated, promoting a healthy and vibrant appearance. When your skin’s moisture stores are full, it looks smooth and free of wrinkles.
- Dark circles under the eyes can often result from a loss of moisture in the skin. By increasing moisture in the skin, dark circles under the eyes can gradually diminish.
It also supports the growth and development of joint cartilage and bones by encouraging the formation of new cells and tissues. Furthermore, it can help reduce joint inflammation and pain caused by injuries or tissue degeneration.
