There are three different types of hyaluronic acid: short-, medium- and long-chain. These are also referred to as
High molecular weight / long chain hyaluronic acid
Low molecular weight / short chain hyaluronic acid
Oligohyaluronic acid: the smallest hyaluronic acid
INCI: sodium hyaluronate
A natural part of the body
Hyaluronic acid (also known as hyaluronan) is a natural component of healthy connective tissue in our body. It is naturally produced in our body, but the need increases significantly with age and also when there is an injury or inflammation.
The hyaluronic acid is found in the vitreous body of the eye, in the umbilical cord, synovial fluid, cartilage and skin.
Regeneration of the oral mucosa
Hyaluronic acid is also present in the gums, where it fulfills a very special task. Due to its outstanding properties, it has an anti-inflammatory effect, protects against infections and is an antioxidant, while regenerating tissue, accelerating healing and reducing swelling.
Production of Hyaluronic Acid
In the past, hyaluronic acid was only obtained from animal products, especially from cockscombs. This is now done through biotechnological extraction from plant material.
All Gengigel products are vegan
The hyaluron for all Gengigel products is obtained exclusively through a biotechnological manufacturing process: this is not only a guarantee of stability and purity, but also classifies the products as vegan.
Thanks to the coordinated products, Gengigel is suitable for preventing a whole range of inflammatory diseases or traumatic conditions in the mouth area and for healing effectively and quickly.
Gengigel offers patients products for regular care and treatment at home, as well as professional products for the dental profession (dentists, orthodontists and dental hygienists) for use during and immediately after treatment.
GENGIGEL owes its scientifically proven effect to the main component, hyaluronic acid with a high molecular weight.
Gengigel adheres to the oral mucosa for a long time - the best prerequisite for actively promoting the physiological process of tissue repair and thereby not only shortening the healing time, but also reducing the reaction during the healing phase.
Ricerfarma, the manufacturer, produces the products in Italy using the most modern biotechnological processes.
Founded in 1996 by a group with more than 30 years of experience in the international pharmaceutical industry, Ricerfarma srl is a dynamic, modern company, characterized by excellence in research and development, patenting and international licensing. Gengigel is now sold in over 90 countries.
Ricerfarma is the first company to research the effect of using a high-molecular hyaluronic acid in dentistry and is the patent holder of this development.
This acid is particularly suitable for reshaping the gum tissues, reducing edema and thus regulating the return of the gums to their normal physiological state.
All Gengigel products meet the highest standards of the "Good Laboratory Practice" (GLP) quality assurance system and ISO standards. Gengigel is based on the concept of the active matrix - in other words, the mixture of biopolymers reacts synergistically with the hyaluronic acid, giving the formulation bioadhesive properties and the ability to form a film that covers and adheres to the gum surface.
