Is there such a thing as "organic H.A." since I buy cage free and no hormones or antibiotics in my chickens to eat. If there is, can someone help me find this supplement. I have the worst osteoarthritis. Thank you in advance.

Alfred has won me over with the positive results he's had with Hyaluronic Acid, so a few days ago I purchased a bottle and started taking it. I've been taking 150mgs but find that an overwhelming tiredness comes over me and I do not have the energy to do anything. As the day goes on and I move further away from taking the HA my energy levels start to come back. I do feel that I've wasted my money because the HA was expensive and from a very good source. As far as I'm aware, the HA I purchased is animal sourced, would I fare better with a plant or fish based product?
I do find that I also feel overwhelmingly tired when I ingest flaxseed or chia seed.
Best wishes

When my legs started getting badly swollen, I was ready to do anything. I quit taking every nutrient and stopped eating and drank nothing but water, a little juice, green tea and cup of coffee. It took two days for the swelling to go down enough to get compression socks on. The belly softened up but is still swollen. I have water pills but I'm allergic to them. They make my ankles swell and blood pressure go up. I'm taking black radish and parsley and now the leg swelling goes down at night, but I haven't seen my ankle bones in months. The swelling gets worse after I get up and after awhile have a hard time walking because of the pressure, and have no stength to get up a step.
This has been going on since mid-March. Before I took HA I felt great, had lost a little weight and had bought a polka CD and danced around to get exercise. I'm not one to go to doctors. Every time I go to one I end up worse off. Now I'm wishing I had. (at least an allergist) I think it's too late for an allergist now.
We have an annual health fair and you can get a pretty comprehensive blood test. (35 things checked) I've been going over 35 years and seldom have anything out of whack. This year - 7 things and 3 more one point over or under baseline. 2 tests point to heart, liver or kidneys. My cholesterol is perfect. Uric acid is high but I don't have arthritic pains or gout.
My blood pressure is/was high. I take L-arginine and hawthorn and ACV for that and most times it's close, or is normal. Six years ago I went to a doc that put me on BP med that raised by blood sugar and almost put me in a wheel chair because of back, hip and leg pain. Now I'm diabetic and as for BP, drugist says they've about run out of options.
My son takes medicinal marijuana for back pain. A friend of his gave me some salve for the rash his wife had and didn't use up. That seems to be helping and a side effect is, it lowers my blood sugar. It's always high in the morning even when I took medication. I do my best to keep it under control with nutrients, herbs and diet. I had it under perfect control with diet only before I was given the BP med that raised it. It's high in the morning but with this marijuana salve it's lower (normal) than I've seen in years. It got rid of the psoriasis on my elbow. I only got 1/2 gram. I'm not a marijuna person. Wouldn't smoke it, but I'm ready to find a dr that will prescribe the salve.
This HA has something in it made from olives that's supposed to "trigger" the HA and make it absorb better and faster. Boy, does it ever. This belly weight is not like fat and not like water bloat. I do a little dry brushing to get the lymph moving. I have a dutch door and I lean on that and sort of walk in place and do mild squats for exercise. Muscle tone in belly is gone.
Does anyone have any ideas? Sorry this post is so long.

Better But With Side Effects
I am not challenging Alfred's suggestion, I am saying we are all different individually. So test out the dose to see what suits you best!
Alfred (Bangkok, Thailand) on 06/06/2010:
No dreams BUT Very tired.. did not think too much about being tired during the day.. Figured I was getting along in years & that is part of getting older.
Deirdre.. THANKS for waking me up. Today I will stop. taking HA and see IF I am not tired anymore.. I feel like sh-- ALL day just dead..Night time cannot sleep until 3 am..The HA has helped me a lot. Repaired my bones. New hair growth on my head, face almost clean of barnicles ,hair turning slowly back to black color from white. Wrinkles disappearing.. BUT to walk around all day as a Zombe. Tired, dead feeling.. It would be nice to be alive again. I will get back to you after a week or so.
I care

Anyway, I just ordered 3 bottles of the brand Alfred recommended and hate that he won't take it if it gives him the weird dreams too.
Neither of us have felt tired though.
Alfred and all who take it - do you have this side effect?

Warning
I was very excited to try the Hyaluronic Acid product that Alfred has been talking about (thanks, Alfred) and started it about 10 days ago. Unfortunately, this product is not for me. I had to stop taking it after a week due to severe side effects from just 1 capsule a day! I can't imagine what taking the recommended 3 pills a day would do. This product (the Ultimate H.A. from P. Products) acts like a sedative in my body. I don't know if it is the Hyaluronic Acid or another ingredient in the capsule, but 30 minutes after taking 1 capsule, I felt a pressure just above my forehead and then the intense urge to sleep set in. I made 2 driving mistakes the first day I took it, I was so out of it. Luckily no accident, only a very close call.
Not only did I feel totally exhausted, I also looked tired. People kept asking me if I was okay, did I just wake up, I didn't look right, etc. etc.. I also had extremely weird and disturbing dreams when I took this product. To me that's usually a loud and clear message that my body doesn't like a supplement! At any rate, I kept up the HA (just 1 pill/day) for 7 days, hoping that the side effects would abate. They didn't, not a bit...
I might try another brand of Hyaluronic Acid in the future to see if the same thing happens. Incidentally, I have a few other friends testing the same product (all taking 3 capsules a day) and none are experiencing the exhaustion. The only common side effect is the vivid, weird dreams.
Just be careful if you are trying out this product for the first time. Chances are you'll be fine, but if you feel tired all of a sudden, be careful on the road!!
