NOW Supplements, Hyaluronic Acid 50 mg with MSM, Joint Support*, 120 Veg Capsules

My stubborn husband…

...had been yammering about his knee hurting for a couple of weeks, but wasn't doing anything about it. So, being a dear of a wife, I ordered these for him to try. I put them in an old fart days-of-the-week pillbox for him, and told him what they were and when to take them. He seemed really excited to try them. Like, too excited. A couple of weeks later I found out why. When I noticed a decrease in his limp, I said, "Hey, looks like that Hyaluronic Acid is working!" and he said "The what?" I said, "The pills you've been taking." He looked blank. I showed him the bottle and his face fell. "Oh," he mumbled, "I thought you said these were something else." I had to coax it out of him, but he finally admitted that he thought that I was giving him "Highly Erotic Acid" pills. HA! More like "Highly MORONIC Acid!" The pills did seem to help, though he pouted and stopped taking them when he found out that they weren't magic dong beans. A while later, he did start taking them again, in conjunction with the Osteo Bi-Flex Triple strength caplets, and his knee improved about 50%. Now if there was something he could take for his ears..

best thing in the world for bad knees

i have zero Cartilage in my left knee - have had 4 surgeries and the last one didn't help - was ready to seriously consider knee replacement when I read about Hyaluronic Acid. Within a week after I started taking it, the pain is virtually gone and i'm no longer considering knee replacement. Cannot recommend enough

something about it helps my pain

I tried this product because of doing some research on hyalouric acid. I've had neck and upper back pain for many years, with a degenerative disk in my neck and limited ability to turn my head. After several weeks, I noticed my neck is more mobile, my muscles are less tense. I have been taking it for a year now an would recommend this product

Really helps my arthritis

I originally bought hyaluronic acid to help decrease my wrinkles (not that I have any ...), but I didn't notice any difference in my wrinkles after about 6 months, so I stopped taking it. It may have been helping my wrinkles, but since I started actually looking at my wrinkles (bad idea) I noticed them more. What I noticed about 6 weeks after I stopped taking it was that the arthritis in my thumbs was almost unbearable. I had forgotten I had arthritis in my thumbs! Wow did my thumbs hurt. I could hardly hold things. So I started taking the hyaluronic acid again, and after 6 weeks my thumbs no longer hurt, at all. I will mention that it takes the full 6 weeks, and you do have to take a the full dosage of a good quality hyaluronic acid, like the NOW brand

Nature's motor oil

Excellent supplement for helping your body lubricate your joints and eyes; something that becomes problematic as we age. For all the people duped by the placebo effect of glucosomine and chondroitin products, STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY, and switch to this simple product, you will be pleasantly surprised. This works great on aging dogs (especially large breed) too! From walking to running, skiing and snowboarding- this product will help you feel like doing activities other than sitting on your couch because it helps your body mitigate pain caused by inadequately lubricated joints. Joints that typically take a beating during active lifestyle activities. I've used this product for the past 4 years on myself and my two very large dogs. One animal is 10 years old and still greets me at the door and runs around like a puppy (in short bursts). Before he was on this he used to take his time getting up and never ran around after 6 years of age. I know it has worked for me, but the activity level of my dog is the real proof, because when dog joints hurt they tend to just lay around...my dogs like to run around

Increase your mobility, appearance and skin health

Been using this product for over three years. No joint pain,even after playing my guitars. My contacts fit better and this product has helped reduce my fine line around my lips and eyes. This is the best price for amount of hyaluronic acid found. Have tried different brands, has increased in price over the years

These Little Gems are Great!

My knee joints are a little over 55 years old. For fitness (or recreation?) I run about 4 miles 4 times per week. Plus one evening of beach volleyball, one evening of indoor volleyball and two afternoons of Ultimate Disc every week. I had periodic knee joint aches that started about 7 years ago. Six years ago I had both knee joints checked out by a sports doctor and I agreed to Hyaluronic (Synvisc) injections directly into the knee joint area. These were costly, but mostly covered by health insurance. The injections worked great for me. However, after 4-5 years the knee aches slowly returned. I was faced with either eliminating some of my recreational activities or spending big bucks for another round of injections (since reasonable health insurance coverage/costs deteriorated quicker than my joints). I researched the benefits and options of less costly alternatives and came across Hyaluronic Acid supplements. I was highly skeptical, but decided to give it a try. I'm a once-a-day supplement-taker (evening after dinner), so I decided to cut the daily dosage in half. Before I emptied my first container of these little gems, my knee aches were already gone. I'm thinking ok, placebo effect right? Well its now been over 90 days, and still no sign of any knee joint aches. I'm also eating a banana almost every day since I learned they too are high in natural Hyaluronic acid. Plus I'm also making sure I get plenty of vitamin C to break the acid down into the components your body can use for joint lubrication/moisture retention. For complete and honest disclosure, I have two other friends (volleyball players), taking the exact same supplement and they are not seeing the same benefits as me

No More Dry-Eye…and my hair looks like hair again

Incredible! I can now wear my contact lenses all day long! Usually, my eyes would get so dry, I'd have to take the lenses out after a few hours. And of course, my lips are moist, and my hair looks like hair again, instead of straw! Great supplement! UPDATE: OCT 2, 2016 - In fact, after just a few weeks of taking it, I went in for a comprehensive (extremely thorough) dry-eye evaluation -- and I no longer have the symptoms! The doctor says my ducts are oozing lipids (which keep the moisture in the eye from evaporating). Miraculous

Magic in a bottle

Glucosamine didn't relieve the joint pain I've started experiencing over the past few years, but this did. I couldn't believe just how well it worked. I could tell a huge difference within 4 days. Anytime I get lazy and stop taking it, the pain will return in a few days so I've made a point of making sure I take it

Helped with Joint Pain

Greatly helps with joint pain. I also notice that an eye floater is diminishing! I have had good results with this brand. I started taking 4 caps a day for the first week then went down to 3 for second week. Thereafter, I've been taking 2-3 caps a day depending on how I am feeling
