use to eliminate stiffness in joints - not the bones - the connective tissues(tendons & ligaments) noticed improvement within 1 week

Knee pain after pregnancy

I am an 83-year-old female, with advanced wet macular degeneration. I have been treated monthly for five years with intraocular injections of Leucentis to keep the disease at bay. Six months ago I began taking hyaluronic acid (50mg/2x/day), for pain relief in my painful osteoarthritic knees. I got no knee pain relief, but,to my amazement, the following month there was no retinal fluid accumulation,and I required no Leucentis shot. This had never happened before in the course of my disease (five years). It has now been six months since my last Leucentis shot! Six months without any retinal fluid accumulation!! It is difficult not to infer a relationship between my oral hyaluronic acid supplementation and this astonishing outcome. I would encourage any sufferer from wet macular degeneration to give hyaluronic acid a try!! Read More Read Less

I am in my mid 60's. After developing an esophageal ulcer through the use of NSAIDS for pain in my spine, I had to discontinue their use. I found HA on the internet and tried it, within 3 weeks, was pain free and much more flexible again. And you know, the dark circles under my eyes disappeared too ! ! BONUS !! This stuff really works.

Recommended by a facialist for reducing lines and increasing skin's moisture. Add water to a drop of acid then apply to face. Add water to your regular moisturizer and apply to face. I've seen plumper skin and reduced fine lines. Straight h. acid has also has healed breakouts quickly.

I have discontinued pain meds and use the HA Joint formula by Purity products. What a difference! Prior to use I was increasingly using a wheeled chair. Still walk with a cane but in far less pain and much increased movement in my hip and leg.

Currently having Synovisc injections, and is this the same thing?

20yrs bursitis in both hips. Very painful. I started synthovial 7 pain went away. I have been taking a half dose for about 3 years. Arthritis in knee started - upped the dose and the knee feels better most days. I love that I can actually sleep on my side - couldn't for 20 yrs.

Years of arthitis leading to neck fusion and hip replacement... daily use of antiinflamatory and pain meds. Started regular routine of HA and over a period of 3 months discontinued NSAIDs and pain medication... also discontinued use of Gulcosimine/Condrotin. Pain free and very good agility... as a test I discontinued HA and within about 90 days, stiffness and pain began to return. I am no disciple for HA, but for me, I am convinced it works better than anything else I have tried.

Only 3 days into tratment with hyauronic acid combined with activated silicon (Jarrosil), and I have been able to garden without so much stiffness resulting from knee pain, arm and hand pain and general discomfort.I had given up on my body before trying this product. Now there is hope. I am 69.

I fell on my knees and was having great difficulty going up and down stairs. I was at the point of using my hands and feet to climb stairs. I started the hyaluronic acid and in about two weeks, I felt I had had a miracle cure. Now I run up and down stairs as I used to. If I forget to take it for a few days, I can tell the difference. I am a 63 year old female.

I have spinal and knee osteoarthritis primarily from injuries as a young adult based on repetitive hard landings involving gymnastics. I have taken glucosamine, condrotin and MSM for years with good not great improvement. I started taking Hyaluronic acid (w/glucosamine)in liquid form on a daily basis about 2 years ago. Within a couple of weeks my lower back and knee pain was completely gone. I now have no pain whatsoever, compared to the 30+ years of pain prior to taking this supplement. The product I take (Hyal-Joint, by Joint Juice) went off the market several months ago, but I bought all the stock I could find. I have enough to take me through Sept 2013....Read More Read Less

In pain with arthritis in neck an shoulders

When utilizing an OTC 100MG hyaluronic acid supplement for the first time, experienced severe heartburn. The product, a national brand whose trade name is unlisted, also contained L-Proline (100MG), Alpha Lipoic Acid (50MG) and Grape Seed Extract (25MG).

I have had a very good response to the treatment. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to see a change in the way they can move. I also take less pain meds since i started this treatment. I love it and will stay on it forever, that is how much of a difference i feel. I buy it from wonder labs.

Pain in joints have decreased significantly since using HA.

I used this product when I was training for a marathon. There were no more corrections that I could make to improve my form. I had the right shoes, custom orthotics, good running form, but still my knees were killing me with the distance. Someone suggested that I try the hyaluronic acid and within a week I felt completely different. Every week I increased my distance by another mile without pain. I told several other people in the charity run about it and they all had similar responses. We all felt better and did our event without knee pain. After about a month on it I thought I was looking younger. Even though I was spending more time outside in the sun my face looked younger, more supple or hydrated. It was really a game changer for me and other runners. Read More Read Less

My hands used to hurt badly especially in the morning--I could not make a fist, and had a hard time holding a hairbrush, etc. Glucosamine/chondroitin did not help, and I read about HA and tried the pills. After about a month, I realized my hands rarely hurt at all. When I have run out while traveling, they will start to hurt again until I get more.
