About This Product
Purica Hyaluronic Acid+ (60 VCaps) pairs 150 mg of hyaluronic acid with 100 mg of Red Orange Complex H, a blood orange extract, in one vegetable capsule. The amber glass bottle holds 60 capsules, two months at one a day. It is made in Canada, licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80092465. Red Orange Complex H is an anti-oxidant which helps to reduce oxidative stress throughout the body. Red Orange Complex H helps to maintain healthy skin and in reducing skin sensitivity to UV induced erythema. Provides antioxidants for skin health. Helps support joint health.
The two ingredients
Hyaluronic acid is a long sugar chain that binds large amounts of water, and the body makes its own for the skin and for the fluid inside the joints. The hyaluronic acid here is sodium hyaluronate produced by bacterial fermentation, so none of it comes from rooster combs or cartilage. Red Orange Complex H is a dried extract of juice from Sicilian blood oranges (Citrus sinensis), concentrated 210 to 1. It is standardized to 3% anthocyanins, the pigments that turn the fruit red, plus 9% bioflavonoids, 6% vitamin C and 2% hydroxycinnamic acids.
How to take it
Adults take one capsule once a day. The label does not tie the dose to a meal, so pick a time you will remember, such as breakfast. At one capsule a day the bottle lasts 60 days, which makes it easy to judge the capsule over a full two months.
About the sun
The label is plain on this point: the capsule does not replace sunscreen or other sun safety habits. Time in the sun raises the risk of sunburn, skin cancer and early skin aging, so keep using sunscreen, a hat and shade while you take it. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a health care practitioner before use.
A new name for an existing formula
Purica first sold this capsule as Purica Skin Care. It is now called Hyaluronic Acid+, and both names appear on the same Health Canada licence, NPN 80092465. The formula, dose and bottle size are the same.
What else is in the capsule
The non-medicinal ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate from a plant source, and a hypromellose shell. With fermented hyaluronic acid and a fruit extract as the medicinal ingredients, the capsule contains nothing of animal origin and suits vegans.
