The main component of hyaluronic acid is polysaccharide, which is composed of glucuronic acid -N- ethyl thioglucosamine. This component exists widely in organisms, especially in human tissues and tissue layers. The main function is moisturizing. The water absorption capacity of hyaluronic acid is more than 500 times that of glycerol.

Hyaluronic acid from different sources has different components and can be divided into biochemical and organic synthesis. Because of its unstable structure, organic chemical sources may decompose at any time and cannot be used as oral or medical supplies.

Generally, it is only used for low-grade cosmetics. Other biochemical hyaluronic acid is divided into enzyme decomposition and Celosia cristata extraction, among which Celosia cristata extraction is the best, and oral administration will not cause edema. Generally, it is biomedical hyaluronic acid for injection extracted from Celosia cristata.
