Hyaluronic acid....?

[Alphy]

I picked up a cheap HA at walmart last week, as I didnt feel like waiting til my next bb.com to get the NOW HA that I plan on getting.

Anyhow.....ive had a neck pain for years now. As crazy as it seems, within a day I noticed less pain. The weird thing is that my neck is feeling stiffer, but hasnt had any pain since I started this stuff. Ill see how it goes until this bottle is empty and decide if I wanna keep using the HA or not. Im doing 80mg/day now.

80mg may not be enough for you.

I'd go 100mg.

[resurrected]

I use 100 a day, I went a week not using and my pains are back. So I would imagine it works.

I made a mistake. I am actually on 200mg per day.

100mg 2x per day.

I'm not the most knowledgable one here about the issue, but I wonder if you should continue the current dosage a bit longer instead of raising it. Sometimes more is not necessarily better. Snake and others claim to have had good results but I can't recall the dose or length of time it took to be effective. Have you read all the posts in this thread? The details may be in there.

Yes, you should! You won't be cured overnight!!

Jarrow's Ha
Animal Flex
Krill Oil

You can't go wrong on this!! I also add omega 3-6-9 to this!!!

Bump to great info

still using this snake?

Two bottles worth didn't do a darn thing for me.

Two bottles worth didn't do a darn thing for me.

The positive affects wore off for me.

I stopped taking it.

Didn't do anything for me except lighten my wallet!

Still working well for me since January, but that's me, who knows how well it will or won't for others.

[Baldsnake]

Still working for me. The Ortho Doc who did the surgery on my broken leg a year ago July 12th is the same guy who did my Synvisc shots some 7 years ago. I was yellow bone on yellow bone and he was ready for some serious reconstruction of both knees (two meniscus surgeries each). He said we should try Synvisc first and see if I was a good receptor. Within 3 weeks I was pain free. He said I would need to get the tank topped off so to speak every year with more Synvisc. Apparantly not. The oral Jarrow formula suits me fine. I am pain free and squat today without any problems except age related strenghth loss.

How old are you, for cryin' out loud? Is this why Wonder Boy is getting all the women now?

I've been using HA & am not sure whether to give it credit or not, but my elbow tendonitis has gone away & the RC tweak I had last wk has lessened considerably. I'm also using glucosamine, chondroitin, & msm so don't really know who to give the pat on the back to.

[Baldsnake]

JOED...When wonder Boy wandered in late yesterday he was very disheveled. He again woke up in a strange bed yet made it to the gym. The difference is that it strange that I even wake up.

After reading the first couple of pages of this post, I decided to try HA for the soreness in my knees. I ordered the Now 100mg from BB.com and used it for a couple of months @ 200mg a day. At first it seemed to be working, but after a while the soreness came back and just recently I stopped taking it while out of town for 2 weeks. Didn't notice any difference whatsoever. Oh well.

I also started using HA and Gluc/Chon. and boy do my joints feel better. But, I don't know which (or if both) are working. I feel too good to drop one to test. Any ideas from anyone which is the best...HA or Gluc/Chon ???

M1K....I think the secret of getting oral Hyaluronic Acid past the acidic caldron gut and into the blood stream is it's bio availability. Anyone can toss HA into their pills/tablets and be telling the truth about the ingrediants. If it actualy gets into the blood stream is another thing. Very few formulas have this ability.

In fact there is a patent on the technology.....

Hey Baldie, I am reading this as I do most anything you post, I think your funny as hell . I also suffer from knee problems, so I think I am going to give it a try. Where in So Cal do you work out? I am in the Valley - Burbank .... Best of luck with the knees +

[Alphy]

Funny this thread came back to life, as im looking for something new to try now.

It's between Celadrin and MicroLactin. Both sound rather promising with clinical studies to back them up, but theres not alot of real world reviews on here. Anybody have any experience with either?

Glen... I am a Glendalian and can be found most mornings except Tuesdays around 5am ish at Worlds La Crescenta. Look for the old bald man wandering aimlessly. Drop by and be my guest. Bring smelling salts, a bucket, and a stamped self addressed envelope.

May be why it has worked for me, Jarrow is all I ever use and it has helped keep me squatting and dead lifting. I don't know if it has helped any other joints besides my knees but that's all I take it for.

Thanks for the info. So Biocell or Jarrow could possibly be the way to go. Might have to give them a try.

Baldie, I started the HA today, I bought some Natures Way "Hydroplenish". I was wondering where you get your supp's if it's in Glendale I am over there often. I could not find the Jarrow at Vitamin Shoppe. I would be into working out with ya, but 5 am is no good I work 3rd shift, so my days off I'll be damned if I am setting an alarm clock.......... Thanks for the info!

[JRT6]

The Jarrow I took didn't work like I have already said but I saw today that GNC offers their version at a much lower price. Some of GNC stuff is crap but their vitamins and other related supps are pretty decent. Not to mention cheap when bought at the right time.

Quag...JV Discout Vit next to IHOP...SW corner 134/Glendale Ave.

JRT....I always reccomend the Synvisc 3 shot series in the knees first....then the oral to keep the knees full. None the less we all react to chemicles differently.

[JRT6]

Actually my doctor has started to put HC in his own brand of joint support. I'm not bad enough for the shots in my knees or elbow yet (although I wish I could get one in my elbow).

[newmexico123]

I've ordered some - I'll let you know the results when i can

Thanks Baldie, I pass there on my way to overpay for stuff at whole foods

[Baldsnake]

JRT...I don't think that the elbow joint has a cushioning pocket of Synovial fluid similar to the knee. There we have the tendon and bursa flare up problem....5mg. Manganese and sub lingual B-12 (for the Cobalt *red coloring in B-12*) combine to form an anti inflamatory co-enzyme.

Quag...so you are the dude who beats me to all the fresh buffalo burger at Whole Foods. For those of you who are not familiar with this giant Mecca of over priced suppliments, fresh and organic foods....it's my favorite place to people watch.
