has anyone ever heard of hyaluronic acid?

[stinkyphish]

Yea. It is used to help lubricate joints and is anti-inflammatory. Never used it but.... it is supposed to work well.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all living organisms. High concentrations are present in soft connective tissue and in the fluid surrounding the eye. It is also present in some cartilage and joint fluids, and in skin tissue.

It has been used for joint therapy and cosmetically in smoothing facial lines as it provides a mechanism of transport for essential nutrients from the bloodstream to living skin cells.

I think the oral bioavailibilty is pretty low.

I'd say stick to something like Celadrin - it worked for me, Hyaluric didn't.

yeah the i beleive the studies on hyaluronic acid were done with injections. Cissus is the only thing that i have found to help with joints. I've megadosed glucosamine,Chondroitin, and msm, and hyaluronic acid. all of which didn't seem to help much.

[gizzle]

it can be used for other things as well....

I tried out hyaluronic acid, and found that it did little for me personally. I agree with Pimp C that cissus is a much better choice for pain relief and healing of joint issues.

[yeahright]

It works well topically but the science for oral administration isn't very solid. If you already have the product, it probably wouldn't hurt to throw it in with a glucosamine/chondritan supplement. If you haven't purchased it, then I'd suggest that you put your money into a product with a mor eproven track record like celadrin or cissus.

Has anyone else read any studies on how HA improves premature ejaculation?

[ZoRomo77]

so the general consensus of the board is that it lacks effectiveness for the purpose of joint relief in comparison to a more established product like cissus?

i have not read anything that even suggests that - are you thinking about swedish flower pollen by any chance? (btw - it has other benefits related to ejaculation besides premature ones)

Correct.

Tell us more about HA and ejaculation - rather than speaking in cryptic terms.

i haven't seen a reply on this one in awhile. i was asking about Hyluronic Acid for a couple of reasons. my girlfriends parents actually own a business that sells products with HA as the main ingredient, and i hadn't previously heard of it. so i was wondering what the am board members had to say about it. they don't really target the bodybuilding market. they are more along the lines of a veterinary supplement distributor...but i believe it's an area they shouldn't neglect if HA is effective, being a body builder myself, i know what kind of interest you all have in keeping your joints in good condition.

my gf was just asking me to do some research on this. she said that its used for horses and she was wondering if it would work for her

I have used several different oral HA products and I find that it is effective in curing runner's knee. It does not effectively stimulate cartilage repair, but rather mildly lubricates the joints. It works for runner's knee, tennis elbow, etc. IF the problem is solely lubrication. I can attest that Conquer HA at the very least DOES work for these symptoms. Other products of the same ilk I cannot say.
