NOW Foods Supplements, Hyaluronic Acid 100 mg, Double Strength with L-Proline, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Grape Seed Extract, 120 Veg Capsules

It’s not just for your skin. This stuff SAVES my hips and lower back. If I run out for a day or two my body tells me about it. Even my 68 year old mother who thinks unless it’s a prescription it won’t really work, admits she can’t live without this for her joints. Definitely worth the buy!

This is an excellent product; someone made the comment to be careful because of elevated levels of HA in cancer related events. Here is a clarification on this subject. Hyaluronic acid is produced continually throughout life, more so when very young and during pregnancy, when cancer rates are almost nonexistent. Yet the opinion prevails that somehow, taking oral HA might cause cancer. For the naïve viewer of the medical literature, there are many reports indicating elevated levels of HA are associated with the spread of tumors, what is called invasion. Tumor cells can mobilize and spread (become metastatic) by using HA as a kind of biological "slide and slide." However, taking oral HA supplements has little to do with this biological phenomenon. More HA shows up at tumor site because it is a healing agent. Anywhere there is a wound in your body, cells called fibroblasts make more HA. A recent study, conducted by researchers in Finland , investigated the role of hyaluronic acid in squamous cell carcinoma (oral cancer). "At the end of the follow-up (median 52 months) 43% of patients had died because of this type of cancer. A significant difference in overall survival and disease free survival was noticed between the patients with the different epithelial staining patterns for HA. The reduction of HA staining was associated with poor survival . These results suggest that HA is a prognostic marker in oral squamous cell carcinoma." Notice the words "prognostic marker." Since more HA is produced in tissues that are damaged by trauma, burns, toxic chemicals, or tumors, broken down (degraded) HA can be used to detect or measure the progression of tumors. This is akin to fire fighters who show up at fires. They are "associated with," but not considered a cause, of the fires. The fire fighters are there to put the fire out, just like HA is attempting to heal the damaged tissue. The difference between cause and association is easily understood by the following example. Let's say investigators want to know the causes of childhood pedestrian accidents. They collect data from all cases where children were hit by automobiles and they find that nearly all of the children were wearing tennis shoes. So, can we conclude that tennis shoes caused the accidents? Obviously not. The tennis shoes are only by-standers. So is HA. Here is a study to examine. Finnish researchers noted that "hyaluronic acid is involved in the growth and progression of malignant tumors." The researchers stated that "a high proportion of HA-positive cells of all cancer cells was significantly associated with deep tumor invasions, spreading to lymph nodes, and is associated with tumor progression and poor survival rate." Sounds pretty terrible, to the uninformed reader, doesn't it? Notice the report says HA is "involved" and "associated," but never indicates it was a cause of tumors or increased their severity. [Br J Cancer 79:1133-8, 1999] Hard paved roads are responsible for the severity of trauma when people are thrown out of cars in auto accidents, but we can't say the road caused the accident, can we? Recently a study examined the role of various components of the connective tissue (the goo in between living cells, like mortar in between bricks). Tumor tissue from 86 patients with breast cancer that had not spread to lymph nodes yet was examined by staining the tissues so each type of connective tissue component could be identified (versican, chondroitin sulfate, tenascin, and hyaluronan. Researchers at the Hanson Institute in Adelaide , Australia , said: "analyses indicated that elevated expression of versican predicted increased risk and rate of relapse in this cohort. Elevated expression of tenascin was predictive of increased risk and rate of death only...... neither chondroitin or hyaluronic acid were predictive of disease outcome in this group."

Approved by the nursing care from I know it’s good for the broken pelvis which healed.

I read somewhere that one has to be taking Hyaluronic Acid for a few months to notice a difference. I've been taking it now, faithfully (200 mg per day) for the past 2 months. I started taking it for cosmetic purposes (my skin) only. I have no problem with my joints. According to what I've read online...it's supposed to be great for skin/wrinkles. I'm 43 (female) and thought I'd take it for preventative measures as well as to improve a few crows feet around my eyes. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin...but I did notice this: my hair is no longer coming out in the shower! Before using this product..I was losing quite a bit of hair when I washed it....there would be tons of hair all between my fingers every single time and my once thick beautiful hair was starting to feel a little thin. Not good. So there I am a few weeks ago in the shower...and there was no hair coming out!! Now when I wash my hair...maybe just a few (normal) come out. Could it be a coincidence??? My hair also feels thicker and looks thicker as well. For that reason, I'll continue using this product. I'll write an update, if I notice anything down the road with my skin.

Be consistent Nothing is better than keeping this certain supplement as twice a day Your skin will be the first sign that of working well If you have JOINT pain ~ consistent weeks , depends on your needs It is NOT a miracle cure but it is what it says it is Totally recommend it to all my PT people because it does work IT also helps hydrate the derma

My knees don’t hurt anymore when I go on a bicycle ride and I am 89 years old without knee or hip replacements.

Now makes good products and I take this to add some hydration to my system for eyes, joints, lubrication and tissue health.

I have been taking this for a long time. And to be honest, I can’t really tell if it’s done anything for me. I canceled my subscription today when I looked at the other inactive ingredients like rice flour? And the fact that there’s only 100 mg of the hyaluronic acid to begin with. I’m switching to Micro Ingredients brand which has 1000 mg of hyaluronic acid per two small softgels. And no rice flour..

Ok. But its not mentioned from which animal source it is

So far so good - just a bit early to make a full review . Fingers crossed

肌の状態がよくなると 思っていたのですが、肌の厚みも増している感じがします。一番うれしかったのは ある時ハンドクリームを手に塗ったとき ての甲がふっくらしていたことです。

Comprei para minha esposa ela disse que o produto e de qualidade !
