Question 1

Question 2

can hyaluronic acid cause allergies?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

has hyaluronic acid been proven to cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

It aids metastasis.: This does not cause cancer, but it can help a tumor metastasize by causing cancer cells to separate from the tumor mass, by degrading the surrounding membrane, and by promoting cancer cell motility.  But it also aids in wound repair, makes up the extracellular matrix, contributes to cell proliferation and migration, and has cosmetic applications, like skin care products.

Question 4

could biocell with hyaluronic acid vitamins cause acne?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Any treatment or product that occludes skin pores/oil glands can lead to acne. Not typically seen with biocell and doubt any direct connection to hyaluronic acid unless it is obstructing skin pores.

Question 5

is it okay to use hyaluronic acid and alpha lipoic acid supplements? will these supplements cause me to fail my drug test?

Accepted Answer

Alpha-lipoic acid: There's good research evidence for using alpha-lipoic acid in peripheral neuropathy http://tinyurl.Com/l4bvz9z , as an antioxidant, and in migraines http://tinyurl.Com/jvo6x9n -- some other uses also.  Hyaluronic acid may help in osteoarthritis and aging skin.  Neither of these supplements should interfere with a drug test, but you should tell the examiners you're using them.

Question 6

taking glucosamine chondroitin, resveraltrol, collagen, hyaluronic acid for 6 mo. will it (or additives in it) cause harmful effect on liver?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: First of all, why are you taking these supplements?  If they are high quality, pharmaceutical grade products, they will probably not cause liver damage.  My advice is to seek a consultation with a physician who is familiar with vitamins and supplements and come up with a plan to maximize your health.

Accepted Answer

Volumizer: Hyaluronic acid (ha) is a natural component of you skin and other areas inside your body.  It is found predominantly in the tougher areas of skin (the dermis) and helps to keep the skin hydrated.  Ha absorbs water very well (like a mega-sponge) and in doing so adds volume to the skin.  It is injected into the skin (facial fillers) to build back volume and fill in wrinkles for cosmetic reasons.

Question 10

is it possible to take hyaluronic acid orally?

Accepted Answer

Oral H. supplements: It is typically administered by injection, but it is available to be taken by mouth; this should be discussed with one's joint doctor or dermatologist e.g. Side effects; history of  rheumatoid arthritis;  cancer history with lymphedema in legs, etc.
