Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in your body’s connective tissue. Glycosaminoglycans are long unbranched carbohydrates, or sugars, called polysaccharides. They play a crucial role in the cell signalling process, including regulation of cell growth, proliferation, promotion of cell adhesion, anticoagulation, and wound repair.
