It is. But it is what lubricates your joint surfaces, so injecting it in the knee joint space is putting it where it should be

It’s definitely important to apply bodily fluids only in the correct areas.

You aren’t going to believe this, but I genuinely didn’t know it had a screamer on it. I filched it from a facebook page and downloaded it without even having the volume on. :joy::joy:

If it has no effect then doesn’t it beg the question about how do they get away with peddling it?

5215

Because the women who buy it thinks it has an effect… snake oil

It’s a cosmetic not a medicine - different standards of proof.

How is it going to help @Polski_Filip knees then

Rubbing it on your face is cosmetic use. Injected it into joint spaces is medicinal use

Bit like cortezone injections then?

A bit.
Cortisone is a steroid which reduces inflammation. Hyaluronic acid is a lubricant that acts on the source of the inflammation.

Osteoarthritis from too much wear & tear (ie sport when young) means your joints (in my case knees) are covered in bumps.
When those bumps grind against each other it is a screaming pain.
Over time these bumps wear down your meniscus (cartlidge) which is the factory designed shock absorber.
When you tear that it hurts plus surgery cuts away the tear leaving a gap.
So basically I was walking around with both knees grinding bone on bone.
The gel is a shock absorber it should be done annually.
Took 2 weeks for pain to start easing & got me off meds.
After 4 weeks no pain, step count up, weight coming down.
And trust me there is one thing I can do again which was a total no -go before the jabs.
A grinding knee or even being touched on it kills any thought of any “domestic exercise” :scream::wink:

Add an OXO cube to a Philippino stew ands its a magical dish that has some flavour instead of just overcooked pork
