FAQ: HA Ultra Gel

What is this?

A dietary supplement: ultra-high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (as sodium hyaluronate) in a clear water base with natural pineapple flavor. Ultra is the daily squeeze gel. HA Tonic is the lighter refreshing pour.

How much HA is in a serving?

Ultra Gel: 90 mg per tablespoon (15 mL).
Daily value is not established.

How do I take HA Ultra Gel?

How do I take HA Ultra Gel?

1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon daily 20 minutes before breakfast is a good time. You can take a 1 teaspoon in the morning and 1 teaspoon in the evening for joint and lower back comfort. If joint symptoms are strong, spread the teaspoons through the day (including before bed or overnight). Give it 1–2 weeks.

Fridge?

Refrigerate after opening. Use within 180 days. Keep out of reach of children.

Will it upset my stomach?

Most people tolerate it well. Hold the gel in your mouth ~30 seconds and mix with saliva before swallowing. Take with or after food if you notice anything. Start with the labeled serving.

Where does the HA come from?

Microbial fermentation. Lots tested, food grade certified.

Is it the same as rooster comb?

No. This is fermented sodium hyaluronate, not animal derived.

Do beef organs or bone broth replace HA Ultra?

No. Organs are rich in vitamins, not in a measured dose of hyaluronic acid. HA lives in connective tissue (skin, tendon, cartilage), and food amounts are tiny next to 90 mg per tablespoon. Dinner is dinner. The spoon is the dose.

Is bigger molecular weight “better”?

Higher MW is thicker and is the form we want for joints, while still hydrating skin, oral tissues and gums.  We test lots. 

Trials are underway combining HA with Vit C for synovial fluid + collagen support (typically injected). Does Tonic Shelf HA products provide that same support?

HA Ultra Gel and HA Tonic contain no Vitamin C. Our Quinine Citrus Tonic is a high dose Vitamin C product. You can take both to mimic these trials, but take one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

Can I take it with Quinine Citrus Tonic?

Yes. Different bottle, different job. Don’t pour them into one formula.
