Nutricost Hyaluronic Acid Powder

I got exactly what I paid for and the price was reasonable. As to the people complaining about the quantity in the container did any of you bother to properly measure the contents before writing a review? I measured the powder contents on an analytical scale (0-200g range +- 3mg) and their is 50g in the container. To be precise I got a measurement 49,924mg. I would also point out that their was residue left on the inside of the container which would be expected, if I were to guess I would say their was at least 76mg of residue. So if your account for residue, fluctuation of moisture content from ambient humidity (the container did include a silica gel pack for pre-sale moisture control), and allowable margin of error in filling, I would conclude that this container was filled to no less than 50g.

As to Hyaluronic acid dissolving, yes it takes a long time to dissolve as it should. Hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of 1.8MDa has a solubility of 5g/L @25C and is exceptionally hydroscopic. If you compare that to Sodium Chloride (table salt) which has a solubility of 360g/L @ 25C, one can conclude that by the nature of the molecule Hyaluronic acid will take much longer to dissolve than table sale. I add 100mg to a glass of water ahead of time, stir it up and leave it in the fridge. When I come back it is always fully dissolved. The time it takes to dissolve and the fact that it does fully dissolve is a good indication that the product is not cut or adulterated.

Hyaluronic Acid is available in different molecular weights so I would like to see the molecular weight in Dalton's listed in the description or on the package. That information would he helpful for a consumer such as myself that reads published studies. I purchased this knowing that the molecular weight was not listed so I can't hold that against the product.

Bought this for my horse! The buy was well worth it, 500 doses will last me a couple years plus some! My horse seems to be working at his best and because it's powder it goes in his feed and soaks into it for the best way to get him to consume it. I will definitely be buying this again when I'm out! Though I do wish the little scoop was accurate for a serving.

I use this product both internally and externally. I put a scoop in a small jar and add sufficient water. It sits overnight and by morning is clarified without refridgeration. I put some on my face with additional water, then wipe on coconut oil when dry. Then I put more water on my face. That done, I add a little more water to the jar, shake and drink along with some vitamins, including your average skin and bone supplements and cissus extract.

I'm sure the quality of the product is good, but be aware that upon contact with liquid it instantly turns into a disgusting slime! I tried mixing it with water and drinking it, but it coated the inside of my mouth, teeth and tongue with a gross goo. I ended up buying capsules and encapsulating it, which works well and is cost effective, but a lot of work. My knees feel better, which is most important, but next time I'll just buy the encapsulated form.

Ridiculous size container for the tiny amount in it. Also trying to take one half scoop is going to be impossible. So when it says 500 servings on the label no one will ever be able to do that. Don't buy!
