Is Hyaluronic Acid Pescatarian?
CautionSometimes. This ingredient could be derived from animal sources but is not usually seen in food (more typically seen in medications, supplements, cosmetics and/or cleaning supplies).
Hyaluronic Acid and the Pescatarian Diet
Hyaluronic Acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a natural substance found in the body's connective tissues. It is known for its ability to retain moisture and is prominently used in skincare products, supplements, and some medical applications. While it can be derived from animal sources such as rooster combs, most commercially available hyaluronic acid today is produced via bacterial fermentation, making it more accessible for various dietary preferences, including pescatarians.
