Hyaluronic Acid Benefits

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has become a popular supplement used to treat many ailments.

Hyaluronic acid benefits include use for arthritis, joint pain, osteoarthritis, and damaged tissue. It is also widely used in skin care products for its ability to rejuvenate the skin.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid contains hyaluronan, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. For osteoarthritis, where the joints lack the fluid for sufficient lubrication, Hyaluronic acid injections are made directly into joints for temporary relief from pain.

Hyaluronic acid interacts with molecules that cause inflammation, thus negating their effects. Hyaluronan molecules travel throughout the body, taking nutrients from the food we eat and transporting it to the cells that need them via our extracellular fluid.

How to Use Hyaluronic Acid for Youthful and Hydrated Skin

Watch Earth Clinic's video to learn how to make a DIY serum for incredibly youthful skin and side effects to watch out for if you take the supplement internally.

For the most efffective hyaluronic acid, at the most reasonable prices, check out iherb.com and look at the reviews for Hyaluronic acid 100 mg. Just one or two a day has helped hundreds of arthritic people, with no powders to mix. I personally have noticed a huge difference to my severe hip arthritis since adding that to my supplements when glucosamine wasn't enough. I also take the HA from a company which is derived from Collagen type 2, which will surprise you with the added bonus of mosre beautiful skin along with lessening the pain tremendously.

I would like to comment on my experience with hyaluronic acid (HA). I first tried a common and popular brand of HA to see if it would help with joint comfort of my back as I had previously been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and arthritis. I used their "double strength" version which contains 100mg of HA in each capsule among other things.

These particular capsules contain the following:

Supplement Facts -- Serving Size 1 cap
Amount Per Serving Daily ValueSodium (from Sodium Hyaluronate) Hyaluronic Acid (from Sodium Hyaluronate) L-Proline [Pharmaceutical Grade (USP)]Alpha Lipoic Acid Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera) (Standardized to min. 90% Total Polyphenols)

I took three of these spread throughout the day and noticed good benefit within one week. That works out to 300mg of HA per day. I was happy with the results, but it was a bit expensive as I was paying almost $20 for a bottle of 60 capsules which lasted only twenty days. I stopped taking them after going through 5 bottles to see if the effect would be lasting. It wasn't!

I then decided to try Ted's mix as it was cheaper to take, though not as convenient as the capsules. With the electronic scale I use, it seemed to take just over 1/2 teaspoon of the HA to get the required 500mg assuming that my scale is reasonably accurate. I added the sea salt and started taking that mix three times per day on an empty stomach after the mixing process.

This mix took about two full weeks before I started noticing any benefit and I did not feel the benefit was a good as with the capsules. One bottle of mix would last me about two and a half days as I was taking a full shot glass for each serving. I have since increased the mix to 3/4 of a teaspoon per bottle and this seems to have added to the benefit of the mix to the point that I now feel that it has a similar effect as the capsules.

Although I am using more HA per mix, it (bulk HA powder) is still significantly cheaper than the capsules. The consistency of the mix is "very slightly thicker than water", possibly like the consistency of low fat or non fat milk. I just recently noticed that _____ offers a 120 capsule bottle for about $25, so my current thinking is that I may use both. The capsules when I am away from home or run out of the liquid, and the liquid for when I am able to make it and take it at home. The other thing I am thinking is that with the capsules, I probably could have cut down on the dose of 3 caps per day after the first week or two... possibly only one or two per day to maintain the benefit.

The thing is, I am a little afraid to try and cutback on the amount of HA I put in the mix or consume as I like the benefit and would hate to lose the benefit, even temporarily! Any suggestions or thoughts?

Hi Art, or Ted may help with this question...

Can l ask how you mix the Hyaluronic Acid? (purchased through purebulk). eg 500mg HA -6c1829 9grams Sea Salt and 500ml water. The reason l ask is that when l mix it with water and salt, it goes like a cloud in the water, and l shake the living hell out of the bottle but not all of it gets dissolved if that makes sense to you? just thought l might be doing something wrong. I look forward to your advise.

In reply to Victoria: I used to put the salt and HA in the bottle of water and shake for about thirty seconds and then put it in the refrigerator. I would shake the bottle about every two hours for about thirty seconds each time, at least a total of four times. I usually left the bottle overnight before starting to use it. I always shook before using and the consistency was even, not lumpy or clumpy. I would take a shot glass per serving on an empty stomach and it seemed like the bottle would last about 2 to 3 days.

I just take capsules now because it is more convenient than mixing the liquid and seems at least as effective as the liquid.

After one week without HA.. my body started to fall apart. In about 4 days my knees started to hurt.. I have no reaction to HA..

I got to get off My a-- and do more exercise..I eat a lot of vegtables.. I grow my own purslane and aloe vera.. never knew you could eat aloe vera.. a little bitter BUT very healthy.. Just wash it, scrape the little ruff spots off the edge.. do not peel.cut in thin slices. eat the whole thing.. tell u one thing, it gets that poop out of you..every day like clock work.

That HA is good stuff Lee. Thanks for checking In.

Hi Alfred -

I am glad to hear you are feeling better. I always enjoy reading your posts here on Earth Clinic.

I had a thought concerning the HA and how when you went off it for a week you felt bad. I wonder if it is like the reaction people have sometimes when they stop taking high doses of vitamin C abruptly? Maybe if a person stops taking HA they should taper down slowly?

Sorry if you already addressed this idea. I did not see your first post, and am joining this in the middle.

Just wanted to throw that thought out there.

Best to You,
Carly

Hello, I have a question for Alfred concerning HA. I read from one of your earlier posts that you switched from U Ha to the hylastin HA and then I think you switched back to U HA recently. I'm interested in starting HA for sore joints, and I wondered about the difference you experienced. I took a collagen powder product last year and experienced nightmares and extreme dizziness, so I am very wary. Thank you so much for your time~Juli(49)

Does anyone know if the salt in the HA recipe would make congestive heart failure worse? Using borax in the bath caused all the fluid build up in legs to drain out which was fantastic! but the HA/sea salt/water mixture is bringing all the fluid back.

Re: Degenerative Disc Disease all right, I bought double strength HA from Now foods, but it contains other stuff as well, it is in capsules, so my question is can I dissolve like 5 capsules in cold water to get 500mg HA or just drink the capsule, which way is better, I spend so much money and I come from very poor country, as I said in another post, Pure Bulk did not work for me, ordered online plus shipping inversion table...etc, a lot money for a guy from poor country, I would really appreciate answer which brand of HA is the best and I accept anything that will help not to go under the knife, because of uncertain outcome...HELP

Get a bottle of "Lightheaded" from Heel. They're on the web. It works wonders for lightheadedness and vertigo...You may find it in some health food stores. A bottle costs about $10.00. Put one tablet under your tongue, usually ends the problem; sometimes put another if needed...They come 100 to a bottle..Realy works!

Hi to all, having degenerative disc disease (ddd) in my neck c5-c6 along time, I'm 35 and really disappointed. I was on Hyaluronic Acid for about a month, but nothing so far, now I'm giving up, I don't know if I was doing something wrong, maybe one thing. I was not making the remedy in a distilled water, it was regular store bottle, so to be honest I'm getting a litlle bit suspicius about this purebulk site! And will ask for answers from the supplier next time I buy HA, but from another source.

Hi Billy, The thing is, when you're unwell, it's taken years to put you where you are. A month may not be long enough to cure your ailments. Some folks get a 24 hour reduction...I am not one of them. Do not disappear, I am trying lots of remedies on E/C......BUT........you have to give it time. We all hope it will work overnight, but some illnesses, from person to person, take longer. Believe me, I bought everything and spent days crying. I am NOT buying into doctors! They are crap!!!! Do it at your own pace, a little, with a build up, is better than reading a post, and praying it will help. We are all different, what suits one person may not be the answer, ... Don't give up!You will find what you need on here xxxxx Have its just a matter of trying.

Before giving up on Hyaluronic Acid, I would have tried the HA that comes with collagen. Ted has recommended the HA given to horses. I am not familiar with HA suppliers so only know about the Biocell product. I know other older HA products that are useless.

Many HA brands use the Biocell version. It does work. I had my neighbor down the street try it last month and he is now free from herniated disc pain. He's older so the cause tends to be deficiency of HA.

Being much younger, that may not be the cause but I'd make sure by trying another HA like Biocell. Just make sure you take it on empty stomach and don't ingest other proteins until 45 minutes afterwards.Take 300 grams if HA (usually 6 tablets) for at least two weeks and see if there is improvement. If not then you can move on.

If that doesn't work then try other things like comfrey packs. Maybe it is caused by infection. Think outside the box.

Thanks for the information on the laser. The only drawback is the underlying cause may not get addressed so just something to be aware of.

Billy--

your problem is that you are using a biologically in-active grade of hyaluron. the chinese genetically modified hyaluron from purebulk is inert, is useless. [I know; I bot $100 of it.] find a good brand of hyaluron somewhere and take that; you will probably start seeing some results in 3 days time.

also;these will help create cartilidge:

add a copper supplement to the diet; 2 mg. per day.

you must balance the copper with 15 mg. zinc per day ..... take the copper & zinc at different meals .... not together.

add 5, 000 mg ascorbic acid, per day,

don't take any supplement with molybdenum in it.

add chicken cartilidge type 2, .... 20 mg X 2t/d

Happy Up the Creek:

Please provide evidence that the product sold by purebulksupplements is any different from that sold by other manufacturers. They all buy their raw materials from China...with the exception perhaps of Thorne, although they no doubt get some of their stuff from wherever it's clean.

You're saying it's 'genetically modified'. I think you need to show documentation that that's true.

Also, zinc and copper work together, there's no reason to take them separately. They're not separated in foods...

You must take zinc and copper at separate times, ideally at least 2.5 hours apart. This is because they compete with one another on the access point. Also be sure of the form of copper you take. There is a wonderful explanation of all of this on the MitoCopper website. I learned much.

Hi Billy,

I read a comment of yours from 2013 on Earth Clinic. Not sure how you are doing on HA, per medical medium we need Horsetail and a tablespoon of silica like food grade diatomaceous earth (it is fossil shell flour that our body needs, put in whatever you drink, no taste, with a gazillion other things our body needs), try doing that along with the things you have learned since 2013. I hope you are better!

My husband was told by his Doctor that his incredable pain in his back was because his disks were degenerating. Surgery was the only option they left him with. I learned about hyaluronic acid right here on this site. I made it for him and in about a week his pain was gone. He's a bad boy and only took it for a few weeks and because his pain is gone he has quit taking it. I also made it for an friend with bad knees and he had a very good result. He has cancelled plans for a knee replacement.

No results with hyaluronic acid

After reading Alfred's posts about the benefits of this, my husband and I started taking 100mg (2 50mg capsules) daily one month ago. The brand I bought has very high ratings and was just manufactured in March 2010 (so it is not old product). We haven't seen any changes since taking this. Has anyone else tried this? Have you gotten results?

My next step is to try the brand he recommends I guess.

Hi, After reading Alfred's letter about the benefits of hyaluronic acid, I started taking it, but found it made me feel overwhelmingly tired. It was from an animal source. So I changed to one sourced from plants, and have been taking it ever since with no ill effects. But to be honest I cannot see any improvement in my health, and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced any beneficial changes? In the meantime, I shall continue for a while yet. Perhaps give it three months in all. Best wishes. Beryl

Hi. Just wanted to respond to your question. I started my husband and I on hyaluronic acid pills 100 mg two months ago. I started 2 pills per day. Have slowed down to one per day. We have had no side effects that we are aware of. We both suffers aches and pains - my husband quite possbily has degenerative disc disease - some days we feel worse than others but could be contributed to other things such as what we eat. But all in all we have not seen any improvement in his back and leg pain as yet. I wonder if I should have put him on a larger dose to begin with. Will continue with it for awhile yet. The brand I have us taking has a very high review rating. Maybe it takes longer as Alfred has stated.

Hi. I emailed Ted directly re: how to use his HA remedy for spinal degeneration. Will that also get posted to this website, when or/if he answers? My questions were; His mixture of Hyaluronic acid in sea salt and water were not extremely clear. I read his referred Purebulk website directions on mixing, and they were a little different. In Ted's mixture:
1. Does the water have to be 39 degrees F. Or lower?
2. How do I measure 1 gram of sea salt?
3. Does the formula go bad after 48-72 hours like that on Purebulk?
4. Mine did not gel up like Purebulk talks about, although Ted used 500 mg. HA, purebulk used over 2 grams, I believe. 5. Do you have to shake it every 2-4 hours for 12-24 hours like Purebulk instructs?
I am SO excited about starting this regiman, as is my husband. I actually mixed his up this yesterday morning, and shook it appropriately (is this necessary, Ted?) and gave him 8 capfuls this morning. He very sceptically asked me how long it takes to work. I said anywhere from 1 day on, why? He said he could hardly walk on his knee this morning, 3 hours later, no pain! Awesome if this would be "the Miracle Cure", huh?

One gram of salt is approx 1-1/2 teaspoon (per Google), also 8 capful is equal to approx 1 shot glass. Accoding to Ted, this formula lasts over 2 weeks. Can you let me know when you pour 8 caps into a shot glass, do you fill up the shot glass?

Hi all, I was about to buy from the purebulk site but got a little confused by Ted's initial comments. Can you clear up for me this comment: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "... Hyaluronic acid, yes I buy them from purebulk. The only particular brand I like is not the brand itself but for those formulations used for horses, which is proven to work. So Purebulk do not do an equine HA product." What does this mean then please? As I'm buying for international shipment the order will be very expensive for a months supply so I need to know what I'm buying! Cheers for viewing, best wishes, DJ

Having read numerous posts here about hyaluronic acid, I am now trying it, but in the various suggestions I find some confusion. So I am appealing to the generosity of knowledgeable contributors who take the time to share their expertise. When taking the hyaluronic acid tablets:

1. Should it be refrigerated?
2. Should it be taken on an empty stomach, or with food?
3. Should it NOT be taken at the same time as vitamin C, or any other particular supplements?

None of these issues is addressed on the bottle. Many thanks for this wonderful site.

I know some of the answers...

1. Refrigerated best
2. Either way with food or empty stomach both work for me..
3. The one with Vit C.. I do not know the answer.. When you say Tab.. Normally tabs takes a long time to dissolve, sometimes more than 20 minutes which does not do too much for the body. Capsules are better,

Thank you for your reply. I am taking the same brand as what Lisa from Thousand Oaks is taking. As for the tablet dissolving in water, I always wondered about that test, since the stomach contains hydrochloric acid that is 10 times as acidic as pure lemon juice and can have a pH of 1 or less... In any case, I hope I get the same benefits as you and Lisa, and the many others who have generously reported their experiences. Thank you, Sue
