I just got some hyaluric acid,
This one http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B000NRXNOK

I want to get bennefits in a short amount of time.
The normal dose is 200mg per day

I was thinking of taking 1g per day for the first week, could there be any problems with this?

Much cheaper to get it at pure bulk as powder and mix it up yourself (though more effort). A high dose will probably just shoot through you.

[Adamzski]

Thanks, yeah it might go straight through me.

One think I have read since I posted this is that too much HA may draw moisture from your skin. Im not knowledgeable enough on these things to make a conclusion so I will just stick to double the regular dose for a week then continue with 200mg per day.

I don't think hyaluronic acid is the kind of thing you need an attack dose for. You might want to check the Wikipedia page on it; lots of interesting stuff there, like the fact that it might be involved in tumor progression, or that the average human has 15 grams of it, and we turn over 5 grams a day. What are you hoping to accomplish with it?

[Adamzski]

I have read a lot of reports of people saying that they can notice the difference in there skin after even just a few days.

I want to plump and make my skin gooder

I would go with skineternals brand. It is the one that showed a benefit to me. Well, that and the liquid form.

Did you use both oral and topical forms of it? Any thoughts as to which is better?

Of all the supplemental forms of Hyaluranic acid, the skineternals brand is the one that receives the most overall positive reviews. Meaning that the people reviewing it are more than 90% convinced it is doing something for them. I must say that I had the same experience using it, both on skin and for joints. The other brand that seemed to do something for me was life times liquid hyaluranic acid. But for my money I prefer skineternals.

I would guess that if topical HA had a plumping effect, it would be due mainly to water retention. But I have had better results using Emu oil.

Im going to be just shooting it into my skin https://www.medicade...l_injector.html and

But first I will get regular restylane and fill my nasal folds.

With the whole face injections, I have only heard two reports about them. The first person used vitalise light, 3 separate times over 6 weeks, that's a total of 6ml of 12mg/ml HA, seen no results so did the same process again but with regular vitalise 20mg/ml HA,, they say they seen no results even after this. The other person did just one syringe 2ml did not see any results so did not continue. It seems like this should work, but these people especially the first woman using a total of 12ml, they get no results but you are saying that you can see a difference just by using it topically and via tablets. It does not make sense to me, so I will give it a go anyway.

I have used HA serum topically and it is very useful for moisturizing the face immediately. Women love it. You want it as pure as possible without other ingredients. Orally it should help your skin, but mainly there is good research taking it internally for arthritis.

Try 100-200 mgs 2x a day orally and get a good HA serum. Try that for a month before jumping into injections.

How effective is that for a 25 yr old?

[Jotham]

Just be aware one potential drawback of HA is when high doses are applied/taken when living in a dry area with low humidity, it can draw moisture out of the skin instead of into it.

Thanks, I know that regular filler injections to plump specific areas work well but I have seen mixed reports of whole face small injections designed to just insert HA for rejuvenation.

I never did go the DIY filler injections.. I will get some injected by a doc at some stage soon.
