Youtheory Hyaluronic Plus aims to support a wide array of health goals including hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, digestion, and anti-aging, with a focus on skin-centric ingredients. It features a blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Zinc, Silica, Aloe, Lutemax SkinGlo, and Ceramides. While it offers a comprehensive approach for skin and joint support, its dosage of Biotin is notably low for hair and nail health compared to many dedicated supplements in the market.

Analysis

Youtheory Hyaluronic Plus presents itself as a multi-faceted supplement targeting beauty from within and joint support. The product includes Hyaluronic Acid and CeraLOK Rice Ceramides which are excellent for skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier function, addressing key anti-aging and skin health concerns. Vitamin C and Zinc also contribute significantly to collagen production and skin integrity. The inclusion of Lutemax SkinGlo, a branded ingredient, specifically targets skin health through antioxidant properties and support against environmental stressors. However, the Biotin dosage at 150mcg is significantly lower than typical doses found in hair and nail specific supplements, which often range from 1000mcg to 10000mcg, potentially limiting its efficacy for those primary goals. Similarly, the 10mg of Silica, while a good ingredient, is on the lower end compared to dedicated silica supplements. The 50mg of Aloe supports digestive health to some extent, but for significant detoxification or gut issues, higher concentrations or specialized formulations are usually recommended. Overall, the product is well-formulated for skin and joint hydration, but its effectiveness for hair and nail growth may be underwhelming due to the low biotin.

Pros
  • Contains a well-rounded set of ingredients (Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, Lutemax SkinGlo, Vitamin C, Zinc) that directly support skin health and anti-aging.
  • Includes CeraLOK Rice Ceramides and Lutemax SkinGlo, which are high-quality, branded ingredients specifically formulated for skin benefits like hydration and elasticity.
  • Hyaluronic Acid is provided at a good dosage (120mg) to support both skin hydration and joint lubrication.
  • The price per serving ($0.98) is reasonable considering the blend of specialized ingredients.
Cons
  • The Biotin dosage (150mcg) is very low for a product marketed for "Hair Health" and "Nail Health," especially when many competitors offer significantly higher amounts (e.g., 5000-10000mcg).
  • The Silica dosage (10mg) is relatively low, which might not provide substantial benefits for bone or hair health compared to products with higher concentrations.
  • The claims for "Digestive Health" and "Detoxification" are only modestly supported by 50mg of Aloe leaf extract, which is a relatively small amount for significant effects in these areas.
Warnings
  • Individuals with specific hair or nail concerns primarily seeking high-dose Biotin may find this product insufficient.
  • As with any supplement, individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or those taking other medications should consult a healthcare professional before use.

Categories
Ceramide 85.0
The product features 40mg of CeraLOK Rice Ceramides, which are highly beneficial for skin barrier function and hydration. This is a good and relevant dosage for a branded ingredient focused on skin health, making it a strong inclusion for this collection.
Silicon 60.0
It includes 10mg of Silica from Bamboo Leaf/Stem Extract, which is a bioavailable form of silicon. While beneficial for connective tissues, the dosage is moderate and not as high as some specialized silica supplements.
Aloe 50.0
Contains 50mg of Aloe leaf extract, which can offer soothing and mild digestive benefits. However, for a product to be strongly recognized within the "Aloe" collection for significant effects, a higher concentration or more specific aloe preparations are typically expected.
Goals
Skin Health 85.0
The product excels in this area due to the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid (120mg), CeraLOK Rice Ceramides (40mg), Lutemax SkinGlo (100mg), and Vitamin C (180mg). These ingredients work synergistically to promote skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier function, which are key for overall skin health and appearance.
Anti-Aging 80.0
The blend of Hyaluronic Acid, CeraLOK Rice Ceramides, Lutemax SkinGlo, Vitamin C, and Zinc provides strong support for skin elasticity, hydration, and protection against oxidative stress, which are key aspects of anti-aging focused on skin appearance.
Joint Health 75.0
Hyaluronic Acid (120mg) is a key component for joint lubrication and cushioning, offering direct support for joint comfort and mobility. Vitamin C also aids in collagen synthesis, which is vital for cartilage health, providing a good foundation for joint support.
