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

Hyaluronic Acid Side Effects
This caught my "eye" (no pun intended):
" ...with matter in the corners of my eyes and crust on lids and eyes are bloodshot."
I am currently ridding my body of excess calcium. One thing that causes this that no one knows about is EMF's which have an effect on the voltage gated calcium channels causing huge amounts of calcium to be gated into the cell and this is NOT good.
Anyway there are ways to rid oneself of this calcium, and when it leaves the cell, it ends up in the interstitium and from there the elimination pathways. One such pathway out of the cranium is the eyes, and calcium will feel like sand in the eye and can scratch the cornea.
This sounds like what you have experienced. Don't blame the HA, but the HA could be detoxing or accelerating a detox.
To help bind the calcium and usher it out of the body, also look at Borax, DMSO, ionic magnesium, EDTA. Some of these can be taken both internally and externally.
ALL of it takes time.
The calcium can move around and when encountered by nerve cells, can hurt. Hardening of every darn ole thing is not good, so be patient and reduce the calcium load.

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!

Joint Pain, Gray Hair
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.

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.

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...

I came across Ted's remedy for DDD.
I went to Purebulk's website to order Hyaluronic Acid powder, so I found that they have three types of HA: Bovine, Vegan, and Vegan wheat-free.
As I don't know what the difference is between them, I asked the sales guy he said that the most popular one is the Bovine one, so I ordered this one. I received the shipment and I started taking the remedy yesterday.
My question is what is the difference between long and medium chain, and what about the weight difference between the bovine and the vegan and which one should I use for Ted's Remedy?
I read somewhere that the bovine molecule does not get absorbed properly by the intestine as it is too long, is this statement correct?
Thank you all for the trying to help people, this is wonderful!

Hyaluronic Acid Side Effects
What an interesting post!
Your results sound as if you've clearly had an allergic reaction to an ingredient contained in the HA (to be precise). You've stated that your allergic to your 'water pills'..(you probably have allergies to many things). Recommendation is to see an allergist, and get tested for the many things you seem to be allergic to. Sometimes a person will be highly sensitive to chemicals, foods, ingredients, plants, even herbs, and may exhibit signs of allergies. These can be confused with an 'allergic' reaction.
A severe allergy, however, is life threatening, so it's advisable to not try taking the product that caused any significant swelling or discomfort again). Do yourself a favor & see a an MD. Eat well, and most importantly, exercise!

Thank you for trying to help, but I just don't trust that company after reading all the negatives about them.
It puzzles me why, if Purity Products HA is so good, why your hubby still needs to use it. In Ted's original post, he stated that the brand he uses actually "CURES" degenerative discs and joint problems.
Perhaps your husband didn't take the 500mg of HA per day like Ted recommended? On the back of the bottle, look at the mg of the HA only, not the combined total of all the ingredients.
That's why I was hoping to find and buy the exact same HA that Ted way using bcos it's much cheaper doing it his way.

I ordered Ultimate H.A. Formula from Purity Products for the first time about 3 years ago. Here's the link to the exact product. We only order 1 bottle at a time (the top choice), not the "Super Saver" or "Buy 4 Get 1 Free" option. It's very pricey for sure. I don't use it, but my husband still uses it regularly and finds it helpful when used in conjunction with other supplements like Fish Oil, Magnesium and more. We have never have any issues with this company.

Ted's quote: "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.
Another poster's quote in reply to Ted's post above: Purebulk does not sell a equine HA product." What does this mean and then please, where can I buy the HA Ted is talking about?
Another poster stated that the HA from purebulk is not pure bcos the Chinese cut it with synthetic?
My question: If Ted prefers the HA used on horses, and if another person states that Purebulk does not sell equine HA, then from whom does Ted buy this "horse HA"??? Yet another poster claims that Purebulk cuts it with synthetic. (Scary! )
My question could not be plainer in lieu of the above quotes/statements by other posters.
Next quote from my post: Then Alfred from Bangkok swears by Purity Products.com and yet when I do a google search review on the Purity company, many people have been burned by Purity, stating it's a scam. Why is Purity so unethical with it's ordering/shipping "IF" it's such a quality product???
Google search:

- 124 PURITY PRODUCTS Complaints and reviews
http://purity-products.pissedconsumer.com
- Top 10 Reviews of Purity Products - My3cents.com
http://mythreecents.com/reviews/purity-products
Those are only 3 review google searches on Purity Products. There are other negative links.
If Purity Products is such a good product, why are they so unethical in their shipping and credit card practises and why would Alfred recommend them???
I certainly don't want to even remotely try ordering from them. Apparently, once they have your credit card info, they continuously bill and ship product at their will.
Next, Using "bottle caps" as a mode of measurements is just plain wrong. Not all water bottle companies use the same size cap! Some use wider caps, others use smaller caps, depending on the size of the bottle. So what is the proper measurement in terms of measuring spoons? And what type of water, spring or distilled?
You also missed the fact that I stated that I would prefer to buy in bulk since the HA supplements that many companies are selling are very expensive. The prices in my health food stores, here in Canada are anywhere from $45 and up, for 100mg of HA, 60 capsules, which also have other things added to the mix.
According to the link you provided for Purebulk, they have 3 HA's to chose from. So which one does or did Ted use? HA (bovine, vegan or vegan wheat free). None of these 3 even remotely describe the use for horses!
Also, you didn't answer whether it should be taken on an empty stomach or with food.
Bottom line, if you went and read ALL the posts to Ted about Purebulk, then you would see where so much confusion lays. Another poster found the HA from Purebulk, when mixed, grey and not blending very well.
Your reply has left me still confused as to where to buy in bulk this "horse type of HA, since it's been stated by another poster that Purebulk does not carry it, and that Purebulk uses synthetic in their product! btw: They sell it in lots of 10g bag, 25g bag, 50g bag. Which size of bag should one order for a mth supply? Ted says to use 500mg of HA and according to you, that equals 1/8 teaspoon. Thank you for the translation. :)
At times, Ted's instructions are vague, that's why there are always so many posts with so many questions.
Yes, many companies sell HA in capsule forms, and if you look at the ingredients, they add a lot of other product into the mix. So my other question is, which company selling the HA capsules, is the best one to buy from, other than from Purity Products, since they don't have a good reputation with ones credit card.
I have been doing my homework and there seems to be different sources for this HA. According to Consumer Guide to Oral Hyaluronic Acid Supplements: http://www.prweb.com/releases/hyaluronic/hyalogic/prweb492817.htm
quote: Q. Are HA supplements, which contain glucosamine and chondroitin, derived from shellfish?
A. No. HA supplements are derived from natural sources such as rooster comb, or chicken sternum cartilage, or synthetically made from a vegetarian source by fermentation of corn syrup. The latter is a purer source, while the others provide additional collagen, which is also beneficial.
Given that there are 3 sources that HA is derived from, and that Consumers Guide states that the fermented corn syrup is best, which is the one that Ted refers to as the one given to horses?
And given that Purebarn sells bovine and vegan, and Ted is not clear as to which one he buys from them, hence the reason for so much confusion. I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

I also checked the other website you mentioned and complained about from Alfred and did exactly the same thing -- I searched for and found hyaluronic acid on the Purity Products website within two seconds. See this link.
And if you had just typed "hyaluronic acid health" into Google Search(as I have just done) then you would have gotten hundreds of hits on other sites also selling oral HA.
The dose for HA is to put 500 mgs HA(1/8 tspn powder) into 500 mls of water and then add two level teaspoons of sea salt. The sea salt is necessary because it helps to increase the absorption of HA into the body. This will heal spinal degeneration problems. Take 5 capfuls of this mixture three times a day outside mealtimes. The term "caps" or "capfuls" refers to the cap on the bottle itself in which you store the hyaluronic/sea salt mixture.
And Ted does not advise using Vitamin C with this protocol. When people say vitamin C everyone usually thinks of Ascorbic Acid -- which is the wrong oxidant form, not an anti-oxidant. In other words the Ascorbic Acid form will act to oxidize the HA and make it useless to you. The proper and useful anti-oxidant form of vitamin C is as ascorbate. To avoid all this confusion that is why Ted advises adding a small amount of EDTA -- no confusion here -- to the HA solution as an anti-oxidant and heavy metal detoxer to help prevent oxidation and breakdown of the HA in the solution during storage in the fridge.

I am begging you to please help me sort thru all this confusion about the reference to Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in Ted's post and so many other posts on this product and treatment. Another poster stated that the HA from purebulk is not pure bcos the Chinese cut it with synthetic?
Ted's quote: "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. Purebulk does not sell a equine HA product."
What does this mean and then please, where can I buy the HA Ted is talking about?
Continued from Ted... "My formula that works is as follows: 500 mg of Hyaluronic acid powder (sodium hyaluronate) plus 9 grams of sea salt in 500 cc of water. Store in refrigerator when not in used. The formula advocated by the (purebulk) will not work as it degrades Hyaluronic acid since vitamin C will obviously degrade them. They do get more stable if EDTA is added in small amounts as free metal irons tend to degrade them. The dose is about 8 caps three times a day empty stomach."
Is the EDTA to be added to Ted's formula? Or is the EDTA only added if the vitamin C is included?
I wish that someone from EC would post clearer instructions for Ted's bulk formula and where to buy it. Should it be taken on an empty stomach, or with food? What size caps is he referring to? What would the dosage be in teaspoons instead of caps? I have read so many of the posts on this subject and it seems that many people are very, very confused as well. Some say to just buy the product already prepared by natural product suppliers and others say it doesn't work.

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

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.

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.

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?

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!!
