Hyaluronan also known as Hyaluronic Acid is a carbohydrate, or a nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan found throughout the body in connective tissue, primarily in the joints. It binds to water giving it a gel like quality which helps to lubricate the movable parts of the body like the muscles and joints.
It’s used in tiny amounts in OTC skin care products, and like most OTC skin care products, it’s completely useless. A method that actually works is injecting it into the skin to reduce wrinkles and acne scars but thats not going to help our joints. The method I use is taking Hyaluronic Acid orally in 100 mg pills, it’s also sold in 15 mg pills which is retarded because you’d need to take 14 to get an effective dose.
About 5 years ago, after a decade of weightlifting, arthritis that runs in the family, and eating nothing but garbage in my early 20’s, my joints were getting pretty stiff. I realized I needed to do three things, get my diet in check, spend less time in the gym, and find a joint supplement that works.
Over the last couple of years I tried MSM, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Fish Oil, Astralagus and none of them worked. I gave Hyaluronic Acid a shot after reading about it on some bodybuilding forum. I figured I would be playing the OTC supplement game of trying something for two weeks and guessing if it was working or not, but to my surprise within 3 days my joint pain was cut in half.
I’ve taken Hyaluronic Acid for the last 3 years or so and its given me massive reductions in joint pain and muscle stiffness, without this supplement I probably wouldn’t be able to lift more than once a week. Outside of a caffeine pill this is the only must-have supplement that I take every day, its been an absolute life saver for me, here’s everything you need to know about the drug:
