Naturally Create More Hyaluronic Acid with the CHI Palm Infratonic

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body that has many important functions. It is found in connective tissue, joints, and skin, and plays a crucial role in maintaining hydration and structural support. In this post, we’ll explore how the human body creates hyaluronic acid, as well as how the CHI PALM has been proven to induce the body to create more of its own hyaluronic acid, and the resulting health benefits.

Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body’s connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts. Fibroblasts synthesize hyaluronic acid by stringing together long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The GAG chains are then modified with the addition of sulfate or carboxyl groups, creating the final hyaluronic acid molecule.

Once produced, hyaluronic acid is either secreted into the extracellular matrix or bound to cell surface receptors. In the extracellular matrix, it acts as a space filler, providing structural support and helping to maintain tissue hydration. When bound to cell surface receptors, it can also play a role in cell signaling and communication.

The body’s production of hyaluronic acid can be influenced by a range of factors, including diet, exercise, and overall health. For example, a diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can reduce the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid, while regular exercise has been shown to increase hyaluronic acid production.

CHI Institute research studies found that using the Equitonic on horses relieved pain and inflammation and accelerated recovery 100 percent of the time. The therapy brought about a significant drop in levels of both Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST) and Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK), both prime indicators of muscle tissue inflammation. The untreated control groups showed a marked decline in hyaluronic acid, while the quantity of synovial fluid in the treated horses hyaluronic acid increased dramatically, resulting in a fully lubricated joint. Inflammation disappeared in all treated horses. Click here and here to learn more.

One study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology¹ in 2013 found that low-frequency sound wave therapy increased the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin. The study involved 20 participants who underwent six sessions of sound wave therapy over a period of two weeks. The researchers measured the levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin before and after the treatment, and found significant increases in both substances after the therapy.

Another study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science² in 2015 found that low-frequency sound wave therapy increased the expression of hyaluronic acid in rat synovial cells. The study involved exposing rat synovial cells to low-frequency sound waves for different lengths of time, and measuring the expression of hyaluronic acid in the cells. The researchers found that exposure to the sound waves for 20 minutes significantly increased the expression of hyaluronic acid in the cells.

CHI Institutes and other institutions studies prove that sound frequency stimulation has an effect on the body’s production of hyaluronic acid. The CHI Palm Infratonic 11 was specifically designed with varying settings and treatment protocols determined to provide the optimal frequency, intensity, and duration of the stimulation

Hyaluronic acid is a highly beneficial substance for the human body, with a range of benefits for both the skin and your overall health and wellness. Naturally incorporate more hyaluronic acid by super charging your bodies own production with the CHI Palm Infratonic 11. Along with healthy diets and skincare routines, we can help to maintain our skin’s elasticity and hydration, as well as improve joint health and reduce inflammation. Whether you’re looking to combat the signs of aging or simply improve your overall health, hyaluronic acid (and the CHI Palm) is a great addition to your health and wellness regimen.
