Rooster comb

Rooster comb is the biological source of Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), a natural lubricant found in our joints and skin. It acts as a 'moisture magnet', supporting skin plumpness and joint shock absorption. While you can't eat the comb directly, you can boost your levels through specific diet and high-quality supplements derived from this source.

Health Benefits & Sources

Why You Need It

Skin Hydration: Acts as a humectant to draw moisture into the skin, reducing dryness and fine lines.
Joint Support: Lubricates synovial fluid to improve mobility and reduce stiffness.
Tissue Healing: Supports the structural integrity of skin and connective tissues.

Deep Dive

Rooster comb provides bio-identical Hyaluronic Acid. Research indicates that when ingested, it helps replenish the body's declining natural reserves. It is particularly effective for 'inside-out' beauty, supporting the skin's extracellular matrix to maintain elasticity and bounce.

Natural Food Sources

You cannot eat rooster comb directly to get the benefits. However, you can eat foods that stimulate your body's natural production of Hyaluronic Acid:

Food	Amount	% DV
Soy Products (Tofu, Edamame)	High	N/A
Root Vegetables (Potatoes)	Medium	N/A
Citrus Fruits	Medium	N/A
Bone Broth	High	N/A

Supplementation

This is the most effective route. Look for Sodium Hyaluronate on the label. Dosage typically ranges from 100mg to 200mg daily. It is best taken with a meal to aid absorption.

Top Food Sources

Soy (Tofu/Edamame)

Contains Phytoestrogens that boost HA synthesis

Sweet Potatoes

Rich in antioxidants that protect HA from degradation

Bone Broth

Contains collagen precursors

Citrus Fruits

Vitamin C is essential for HA production

Leafy Greens

Magnesium helps enzymatic processes

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is specifically extracted from the red crest of roosters. It is the purest natural source of high-molecular-weight Sodium Hyaluronate.

Rooster comb extract is usually taken orally. Topical creams typically use synthetic or bacterial-fermented HA, which works on the surface, while oral intake supports deeper layers.

For skin hydration, studies suggest 4-8 weeks of daily use. For joint support, it may take 2-3 months to feel significant mobility changes.

Yes, by hydrating the skin from within, it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin elasticity.

Safety & Side Effects

Generally considered safe (GRAS). Allergic reactions are extremely rare due to the high purification process. Vegans should choose bacterial-fermented HA instead. Those with severe poultry allergies should consult a doctor first.
