Question 1

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 2

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 3

is it okay for hypertensive people to take a hyaluronic acid supplement?

Accepted Answer

Probably, maybe not: There are varying reports. You may want to check with the manufacturer. There are dozens, maybe hundred, of compounds that could potentially raise one person's blood pressure, but don't take something which has questionable advantages to health anyway.

Question 4

can hyaluronan taken in supplement form be anywhere near as effective as hyaluronic acid injections? can any docs explain?

Accepted Answer

No: The oral form has no value whatsoever.

Question 5

would you suggest to use hyaluronic acid and alpha lipoic acid supplements?

Accepted Answer

Likely OK: But not fully clear if either helps substantially.  The Alpha lipoic has been touted as of value with memory loss and even alzheimer's, but hard to assess full benefit.  Not sure that hyaluronic acid orally has even a fraction of the joint benefits of an injection into the knee. Would definitely discuss both with your regular doctor.

Question 6

can hyaluronan taken in supplement form be as effective as hyaluronic acid injections?

Accepted Answer

No: The supplement has no value for arthritis.

Question 7

taking glucosamine chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, collagen, resveratrol supplements  for back. will taking all these together create liver issues?

Accepted Answer

Probably OK: Those  meds are herbalistic treatments and are not as effective as medications such as Motrin or naprosyn(advil or aleve (naproxen) over the counter versions.) do you know what is wrong with your back? A good evaluation by a spinal specialist could give you answers and help MAP out a treatment plan.

Question 8

i have started biotin 3000mcg and folic acid supplements today. will this cause cystic acne as i have been reading or is it safe?

Accepted Answer

No---BUT: Since you are never going to be pregnant, you will derive no benefit from folic acid. There is no valid evidence of any benefit to any person in any way for biotin. Biotin is promoted very aggressively, so there must be significant benefits to those who sell it. Folic acid is used when a person takes methotrexate, is clearly indicated for women who plan to be pregnant, and in rare cases of folic a.

Question 9

i am taking herbal supplements fish oil, estrogen, multiple vitamin, hyaluronic acid, pumpkin seed oil. are these safe to take with each other?

Accepted Answer

Not really, but why?: Who knows? They may not even be safe by themselves, as you never really know what's in them to begin with.  Why are you taking them in the first place. What are you attempting to fix, and how are you going to tell if any of them help -- what criteria are you going to use.  They will commonly interact adversely with other supplements and also with prescription meds. Avoid at all costs.

Question 10

is it ok to take hyaluronic acid, zinc, niacinamide,  coq10, resveratol, evening primrose oil, and alpha lipoic acid  supplements a day?

Accepted Answer

Goals?: All supplements should be taken with specific goals and for limited amounts of time. Medical history and current drugs will have also to be considered in deciding about the safety of taking above supplements. Your doc should be able to address in that context.
