I’d like to try the hyaluronic acid if you have a source to buy it or a recipe to make it. I never had any joint issues or arthritis until I fell on that foot. The first doctor I saw was a quack and it took 18 months for me to find a good doctor. In that time I developed arthritis in the foot in two places but it’s in bad places. The worst is a cystic arthritis caused from trauma in the Cuboid joint. The tendons that go over that joint had tears that eventually healed but they healed too short and during that time the arthritis developed. The other spot is in the metatarsal joint behind my big toe. So...I have two bad spots on opposite sides of my foot. I’m doing therapy to stretch the muscles in the back of my leg, the shortened tendons, and trying to keep the arthritis moveable. I have tried almost everything from horse liniment to CBD to collagen. The collagen has helped the most but I’m willing to try the HA. :-) It’s hard to go from being so active to walking with a cane on bad days.
Sorry I yelled at you the other day. I think it was you. It’s that darn Scots/Irish redhead temper that I struggle to control when I’m in pain or under stress. I wasn’t nice.
As I said above 240mg is suggested internal use and it fits perfect in a 00 capsule. 1oz costs $14 and will make 28 LITERS of serum. Compare that to the price of a 1oz bottle of serum in the store. For serum:
Mix the powder(s) with COLD water and shake. It will clump at first. Put it in the fridge and shake when you open the fridge. It should all dissolve in about 6 or so hours. And feels great topically. It is particularly soothing after a close shave fellas. It lasts about a month without any preservatives.
Bonus: to help the serum penetrate the skin use a derma roller. Apply serum to face, roll with the derma roller, and repeat application of serum.
You yelled at me for the mask thing. I should keep my mouth (fingers) shut sometimes. For your tootsies maybe regular soaks with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), or better yet some magnesium chloride.
