Joint Pain, Gray Hair
★★★★★
I noticed when I stopped taking HA, my joints felt achey, especially after I had been sitting for a while and got up and started walking. I started taking MSM and Boswellia and the aches went away for the most part. But I noticed a lot more white hair when I stopped taking HA and I remember Ted saying when he took HA, his white hair turned back to his natural color, and he posted a photo of himself. I was wondering if anyone could help verify if HA is safe to take or not. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi Rae, based on my research and reasoning I believe HA supplementation is safe. And in fact, the article you linked by Bill Sardi explains it very well as to why it's safe.
Can you please share with us how you took the HA supplements? Dosage, type, and frequency.
Thanks and Blessings!

Hi Marnie, thank you for your response and sorry for the delay in mine. I was taking NOW brand of 100 mg hyaluronic acid. The label says it has 10 mg of sodium (from Sodium Hyaluronate), 100 mg L-Proline (Free-Form), 50 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid, 25 mg Grape Seed Extra (Vitis vinifera) in a cellulose capsule. Other ingredients: rice flour, magnesium stearate (vegetable source) and silica.
I took one 100 mg capsule a day. Reading old posts from Alfred (2010), he went off HA for a week and experienced a lot of aches as well. I don't know if one should wean off it, but I just stopped taking it all at once and I was shocked at how much my knees and hips ached. I am 57 years old and I felt like I was 80+ years old.
I no longer have any aches as I think the MSM and Boswellia solved that problem. I do have a problem with my left knee where I cannot lock it completely straight without pain on the outer side of the knee cap. I don't know what is causing this but I have scoliosis and pronated knees so over time, perhaps that is causing this. I am trying to do yoga to help address it. Below are articles about HA, some are for and some against. I have read that you have to be careful about where HA is sourced because traditionally, HA was extracted from rooster combs and now it is mostly produced via microbial fermentation with Streptococcus. But there's now a concern that streptococci are pathogenic.
Thanks again for your response Marnie. I am still rather wary about taking HA.

The only thing I am not sure of is if its a bio-identical HA as it does not state that but does say that it is not from animal source. It is distributed by a company in West Yorkshire here in the UK.
You take one sachet a day mixed with water so it's really easy to take.
The effects were almost immediate, pain in joints easing daily and are almost gone. I have only had to take my dry eye gel/drops twice during this time and previously I had to take them 3-4 times a day. So far no side effects.
They also state that you should get HA from non-animal source (as it is not bio-identical to our bodies). They really stress that!! You can buy it online and it ranges from £20-30 for a months supply. The book talks about how HA affects your body and is written by Dr Chris Meletis and David Rousett (and is recommended by L. Sephen Coles M. D. , Ph D. and the author of Extraordinary Healing, he is apparently the world's leading supercentenarian expert).
I am new to all this but have done quite a lot of research on the net on HA (which lead me to this site) and like most things I totally think that you get what you pay for. If it's not a quality product there is really no point in taking it. By the way before I started taking this I could not read the ingredients without my glasses and was amazed just now that I can almost make them out without them... Onwards and upwards I hope!!

Hi, I am confused regarding taking HA with food or on empty stomach. The bottle by PP that Alfred recommends says to take with meal. However, on other ailments on EC site regarding back problems, I have read posts that say not to take it with food, or protein sources specifically.
Does anyone know the answer to this question. Take with or without food?
And thanks Lisa, from Thousand Oaks, I plan to get the one from Source Naturals after this bottle, as the price online seems to be better.
Thank you!

I saw Alfred's posts from 2010 on Hyaluronic Acid and and was delighted with all the good it did him. So, is Alfred still around? He would be 90 years old if he is. Hope so. My other question is...can HA be bought in Thailand?

Crazy took us 30 or 40 yrs to get into the condition were we are.We can not wait a few months, maybe a year to have some changes.. I guess thats what they call the Impatience of Youth.. We are young at heart.
the HA stuff work pretty fast if you have the correct mix, so it gets easily absorbed into the body.
I have been listening to my body.. What happening,or what do I feel that I did not have before. Seems like something running around repairing what has worn out on the inside.. My left knee feels new again.. no hurts their. I was having problem with my my hips.. thought I would need a hip replacement.. For about 5 days a lot of pain in my hip areas, both hips. I would push down, it hurt.. I guess it was the Putty that HA has.. maybe pushing it in were the hip were worn. Now 1 month latter. NO hip problem.. Everything working normal.. So I guess the putty from the HA is doing its thing.. No more worry about Hips replacements. The hair on my head still growing, but not fast enough for me. So I shaved my head hopeing it would stimulate new growth faster..It did not seem to help..but it will take a year to have thick hair the way I want it on Top of my head. Hair coming in original color Black.. Hair on my arms still growing...
now an intesting thing my face show a lot of Barnicles of ageing. That why I had a full Beard which is white color.. To cover that mess on my face, men lucky we can do that.. I shaved my cheek area 10 days ago. My face almost clear of all that Black markings.. watch it daily and every day getting lighter in color.. In two week more my face will look new again.. I am getting comments from people about my face.. Makes me happy.. My beard still white but Mustache is Salt & pepper.. black hair replacing the white hair. 85% gone liver spots on back of my hands..
I am taking 4 pills per day which is about 134mg of HA.
thanks for your time

Hello Alfred,
I just read your comments about your experience with hyaluronic acid back in summer of 2010. It's 2014 now and I'm wondering whatever happened with that experiment. I'm curious to know how well you are doing or if you ran into any difficulties along the way as I'm considering trying HA myself.

Didn't Ted say 9 grams? I used 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, and 10 powder filled capsules of HA, 50 mg each, to total 500 mg., in 16 oz. Of COLD refrigerated water, in water bottle. I poured those 2 items in, mixed it up, then put back in fridge for 2-4 hours, depending on what I was doing, I would go into kitchen and shake it quickly, and shove it back in fridge (as per Purebulk's instructions). After doing this for 12-18 hours, (first bottle took 12 hours, second took 18 hours, ) I measured 8 caps with the cap that was on the water bottle, came up to roughly a shot glass, I quess. My hubby takes it 3 times a day, one first thing in morning, one a few hours after lunch, or when he gets home from work around 4, then one right before bed. I cannot stress enough how important it is to get half your weight in ounces of water per day. If you weigh 100 lbs., drink 50 oz water. HA goes hand in hand with water. Without water, it cant do it's job!
My husband (after 5 days) says that his "sticking points" in his back when he bends over, the 2 catches he has had for years, are gone! His knee feels awesome, after also bothering him for years. He is a body builder, and he is able to lift without worrying about the pain.
I have also been on it. My face skin looks prettier, (awesome! ) and I feel like a MILLION BUCKS. I can't explain what that means exactly, except it's nice! I'm 46, fairly good shape, exercise moderately, try to eat right. I am finally getting the water I am supposed to take. Note: Put a squirt of lemon or lime in EACH of your glasses of water for alkalizing purposes - SO important. Skip the baking soda if you have hbp. Switch to Sea salt only. Take an iodine supplement each day, even if it's drops of liquid kelp from health food store. Avoid aspartame like the plague. It literally makes me stupid, I can't think, raging headaches until I detox from it for a couple weeks. Be proactive. It's your body. Put into it what you want to get out of it. God Bless. Lisa

Are you sure it just wasn't time that let the piniform muscle relax and ease up on the pressure on the sciatic nerve? I read about a woman who ate ginger slices for 3 weeks and voila, her sciatica settled down.

Paul - I got off the HA tablets and the horrid tennis elbow pain returned with a vengence, which goes to explain HA has been useful for my ailment. My mother suffered from back pain, she too took HA tablets, her pain has subsided a fair bit.

Reply to Gail, Hi if you search the web for "healthyonline" you will get the worldwine natural health pharmacy website. In NZ I purchase from their link www.healthy.co.nz
There are two products both supplying 100mg hyaluronic acid..one with MSM and one without. They also contain Hydrolized Collagen Type2 600mg, and Chondroitin Sulphate 200mg.
These are the only HA supplements I can buy here and I have to say I have been getting gradual improvement in joint pain and stiffness. Also I got my daughter to try this last week and in four days she has had significant improvement in pain and stiffness..she said she usually had to roll off the side of the bed onto her hands and knees in the morning to be able to stand up and she noticed yesterday (day 5) that she got up and went into the kitchen before she realised she had got out of bed normally with no pain..(we are taking the supplement with MSM) Best of luck.

Thank you Catherine for your feedback, I did manage to locate a supply in australia where Iam getting pure powdered H A which makes 5 ltrs, lasting me about 4-5 weeks as Iam initally taking about 150ml a day to build up but the difference it is making in my mobility is very noticable, I have had no adverse reactions at all, I will however have to look into another supply soon as it is way too expensive to buy this way on a pension. I see the product you are getting is only 10% HA , how many tablets are u taking per day?
Cheers, Gail

Could anyone tell me where to buy hyaluronic acid powder for degenerative disc dicease in Australia? Amazon won't ship from the USA to Australia so I guess that the import of this product is prohibited in Australia. Thank you!

I get it from iherb. No one will ship MSM to Aust either so you can buy HA and MSM together unless they've stopped that. Although you can buy msm here. I have dd c4,5,6.
Where to Buy: Uk
Btw, I had great results from using home-made kombucha and kefia many years ago: clear skin, energy, less aches and pains. Unfortunately, I had loose fillings from bad dental work and I had to discontinue the kombucha.
Many thanks for the site. Renewed my search for health!

I see that Purity Products does not supply Ultimate HA outside of the US or Canada, so I wonder where Alfred in Bangkok gets the supply from, or anyone else non US. I have seen a few ebay site operators selling it that may ship abroad... I'm thinking that the costs of getting Ted's recommended HA from Pure Bulk in the US, means we have to look for a quality european based HA product... Anyone used one yet?
