Default johnsbod's Purity Products-Ultimate H.A. Formula Review

I know this isn't the typical product that gets reviewed in this forum, but it has been very helpful to me and IMO is worth purchasing.

Product: Purity Products-Ultimate H.A. Formula

Product Description: Purity's Ultimate H.A. Formula is a breakthrough healthy aging formula used to support joint health, skin health and more. It contains 150 mg of Hyaluronic Acid (H.A.) per serving, in a high performance 10% extract... made from patented BioCell Collagen II and blended with chondroitin sulfate.* H.A. is a key component of collagen which makes up the material between cells and provides structure to various organs like the eyes, joints and skin.



Ingredients:
Serving Size: 3 Capsules
Servings per Container: 30

Ingredients Amount per Serving %Daily Value**
Vitamin C (as magnesium ascorbate) 120mg 200
Magnesium (as magnesium ascorbate) 10mg 30

Chondrotin Sulfate(from BioCell Collagen II) 300mg *
BioCell Collagen II 1500mg *
Calcium-Magnesium Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6) 75mg *

Other Information:
What is Hyaluronic acid – why is it so important?* Hyaluronic acid, a KEY component of collagen, has been called a “space filler” or support scaffolding for living cells. It makes up much of the material in between cells and provides structure to various organs, such as the eyes, joints and skin.* Hyaluronic acid (HA) is akin to mortar in a brick wall. It holds the bricks (cells) in place. With progressive aging, Hyaluronic Acid usually breaks down and normally less and less is naturally produced within the body. Just like mortar is the first component to break down in a brick wall, so collagen degradation contributes to many of the overt signs of aging in the human body.*

History and Background -- The Story Behind Hyaluronic Acid: In Yuzurihara, a small Japanese village outside Tokyo, inhabitants are said to age healthier, enjoy great joint mobility, healthy vision and display unusually smooth and well-toned skin… even after spending decades farming in the sun. Some scientists and researchers have examined the reasons for this selective longevity and have theorized that a key component might be Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Network TV NEWS Stations have done fascinating stories on H.A. as well. Originally discovered in 1934, HA has been used topically to support skin health and is found in many premium face creams. It is considered very safe to use. *

Purity’s Ultimate H.A. Formula™ -- is now available in capsule form extracted from BioCell Collagen II. The breakthrough in this formulation is the low molecular weight process that enables the H.A. to be absorbed by the body. Purity’s Ultimate H.A. Formula supports skin health, joint health and healthy vision* from the inside out! It is high performance, 10% concentration of Hyaluronic Acid, many times more concentrated than many other products, in a blend of Chondroitin Sulfate & patented BioCell Collagen II.*


Product FAQ:
What is Biocell Collagen II™?
BioCell Collagen II® is a natural hydrolyzed type II collagen ingredient that provides a complex matrix of elements (Collagen Type II, Chondroitin Sulfate & Hyaluronic Acid) that support joint and skin health. With the patented process, BioCell Collagen II® was developed as a low molecular weight ingredient that could be easily absorbed by the body.*
BioCell Collagen II® is a registered trademark of BioCell Technology and is the only Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II preparation supported by US Patents # 6,025,327 and 6,323,319 that cover the use and manufacturing of this ingredient.

RESEARCH
BioCell Collagen II™is derived from the sternums of young chickens and is then hydrolyzed for maximum absorption. It is uniquely processed to contain a high concentration of Collagen Type II, the most abundant structural protein found in articular (joint) cartilage. In addition BioCell Collagen II™ is naturally rich in Glycosaminoglycans, Chondroitin Sulfate (min. 20%), Glucosamine Sulfate, Hyaluronic Acid (min. 10%), and a newly discovered antioxidant proteoglycan called Cartilage Matrix Glycoprotein (CMGP).
Collectively, the components found in BioCell Collagen II™ provide the structural support of healthy joints by maintaining healthy cartilage and by reducing oxidative damage to the joints. BioCell Collagen II™ is completely water-soluble and is specially processed to ensure maximum bioavailability.
BioCell Collagen II™ has been sold in the health supplement market for years. Published clinical trials by physicians and medical journals report favorable scientific evidence that only Collagen Type II from Chicken Sternum Cartilage is safe and effective. Hydrolyzed Chicken Collagen Type II is the next generation to support cartilage and joint health.

What are the critical nutritional elements found in BioCell Collagen II™?
Independent laboratory analysis shows that BioCell Collagen II™ naturally contains Type II Collagen Proteins (60-65%), Chondroitin Sulfate (20%), Hyaluronic Acid (10%), Glucosamine and other Proteoglycans. Each of these is found throughout the body and are required elements for healthy connective tissue (joints, skin, cardiovascular etc.).
1500 milligrams of BioCell Collagen II™ will supply the body with 900 milligrams of collagen type II protein (amino acids), 300 milligrams of Chondroitin, 150 milligrams of Hyaluronic Acid, along with other nutritional elements such as glucosamine.

Is BioCell Collagen II™ similar to glucosamine?
Yes, in the sense that both are involved in helping the body maintain healthy joints, but as noted above BioCell Collagen II™ is actually a concentration of many elements including glucosamine. If we consume only single elements involved in the complex process of keeping our joints and other connective tissue healthy we might only expect partial effectiveness. BioCell Collagen II with its full-spectrum of essential elements provides broader nutritional support, for overall joint, and connective tissue health.

Who should include BioCell Collagen II™ as part of a health maintenance program?
Everyone can benefit from taking BioCell Collagen II™ Diet, age, stress, digestive system and physical activity (sports which impact the joints) all affect our ability to provide the body with the nutritional raw materials it requires to properly support joint and connective tissue health. BioCell Collagen II should be an essential nutritional component for those wanting to remain healthy and active throughout their life.

Can I combine BioCell Collagen II™ with other nutritional supplements such as MSM, Chondroitin and Glucosamine?
Yes. Remember the strength of BioCell Collagen II™ is not that it supplies a large amount of one particular nutrient. Its strength is in the fact that it supplies a concentrated matrix of nutrients that may provide more broad-based nutritional support. By combining it with more specific elements such as the ones noted above you may actually receive greater nutritional support.

Is BioCell Collagen II™ safe?
Yes, as stated earlier BioCell Collagen II™ is a natural dietary ingredient. It and the elements that make-up its complex structure have a long history of use and safety as dietary ingredients. An independent toxicity study also showed BioCell Collagen II™ to be safe even at extremely high dosages.



My Comments: Someone recommended this product to me a while back for aching joints, and I started using it about 3 months ago. My primary reason for using this product was to help with joint pain from old injuries that get aggravated from time to time in my training.

Purity provides a Certificate of Analysis for this product on their website. My periodic join pain is now gone, and although I bought it for that purpose, there have been some very welcomed side effects. My skin is now smoother and softer than it has been since I was a kid, and the few wrinkles I had in my skin are now pretty much gone.

I'm not sure this product would benefit younger people that much, but for people my age (31) and older I think the benefits are great. Since my supply of Ultimate H.A. is almost finished I'm trying a less expensive Walmart formula of Hyaluronic Acid and will post the results compared with this product.

1 bottle lasts approximately a month (90 capsules per bottle, recommended dosage is 3 per day). It's not cheap, which is why I'm trying the Walmart formula right now, but it does work really well.

If you click on the link I posted above the prices are listed. $39.95/bottle OR buy 3 get 1 free which works out to just under $30/bottle. It's expensive, but the results have been excellant. If you buy a year's supply at a time you can get it as cheap as $22.95/bottle, but I wasn't going to commit to that without trying it out first.

The Walmart formula I'm going to try is just over $5/bottle, but you only get 30 capsules per bottle which means it costs about $16/month. The Walmart stuff is also only H.A. (none of the other ingredients that are in the Purity formula).
