The average *0 kg man has roughly *5 grams of hyaluronan in his body, one-third of which is turned over (degraded and synthesised) every day.

Hyaluronic acid has been nicknamed the "key to the fountain of youth" because it has been noted that at least some people who ingest a lot of it in their diets tend to live to ripe old ages. Could Hyaluronic Acid be an anti-ageing remedy?
