Harvey R. Stone - 06 Oct 2007 20:08 GMT My dil means well and just wants to help if she can and like most people that do not know a thing about arthritis,,, she sends me stuff,,, information she thinks might help my arthritis. Welll, she sent me this big long article about hyaluronic acid taken in pill form that is suppose to help OA/and/or/Ra. It says that I should take 100mg pills twice a day and it costs about 20.00/month. I will be very honest and say that I know a little about people taking it by shot in a joint which can work for a few months for some people that are not bone on bone. Any thoughts about the pill form would be appreciated.

RE: Notification of Nutritional Support Statements
Dear Sir or Madam: I hereby notify the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the use of statements of nutritional support in the labeling of, Hyaluronic Acid a dietary supplement.

Variously described as : Hyaluronic acid is a carbohydrate; more specifically, it is a polysaccharide and an aminoglycan.
I reckon that if it is passed thro the digestive tract it will, like all other foods, be broken down into its simplest component parts. In this case it would be monosaccharides and amino acids. The body then builds these up again into whatever proteins and carbohydrate containing substances it requires.
Therefore, at best, when eaten it would be a nutrient containing the constituents of hyaluronic acid, which would be digested and then used as required. If ones body cannot synthesise its own hyaluronic acid in the correct quantities, the only way to get additional amounts would be to have it injected approriately - I think.

Xiaoding - 19 Oct 2007 05:59 GMT It works for me. I spend good money on it, and I will continuee doing so. You should try before you conclude anything. Two months is a good trial. I take 100mg, not even every day. The "digestion" post is off the mark. I recomend Solaray brand, quality is an issue with this stuff.
