Has anyone tried Umary Hialuronica Acidio from Mexico?

I would agree that there might be an NSAID in it. My partner that is allergic to aspirin tried it and had a minor reaction to it immediately. That being said it works great. My mom has osteoarthritis and it helps a great deal with pain, but it bothers her stomach somewhat too. Seems to be the “miracle” supplement to anyone with joint pain. Would be very interesting to have it analyzed for any possible unlisted ingredients. It’s almost too good to be true.

This can be very dangerous to anyone who has an NSAID allergy. My partner took one of these and immediately had a reaction. Heart racing, hot flush, nasal blockage and heaving (didn’t throw up).
Yet his wrist pain disappeared. It works great for pain for many people but beware of unlisted ingredients especially if you have any pharmaceutical allergies.

Have I read this right? You sell this drug but you don't know what is in it?

@umaryllc, I've seen 2 Canadian lab analyses which indicate the opposite. One detected diclofenac, which is a prescription drug, and the other indicated both diclofenac and dexamethsone, a prescription steroid. Both would be dangerous for someone already taking prednisone.

Several people have had it tested. Some states have a cheap drug testing setup like for parents who find a pill in their kid's room. Diclofenac is one of the drugs that appears in the waste/sewage stream. Plants can take it up easily. I suspect that it is not a deliberate inclusion into their pills but has been picked up by some of the other plant materials being used that have access to wastewater. Dose seems to be about 30mg. Prescription strength is 100 mg with upper limit of 150.

I participate in ConsumersLab.org. They do testing of OTC supplements. I have emailed them asking them to run it through their lab.
I am curious as to what US-made supplement is basically the same thing.
Dexamethasone is also known as Decadron. Probably one of the safer steroids. Has a much shorter half-life. In joint injections, it lasts about 7 days whereas Kenalog lasts 14 days but is considerably more expensive. I used Decadron in the FL Keys while working ER. People would come in with a severe sunburn, we gave them 4 mg Decadron IV and covered their burns with real aloe that we grew on the back porch of the hospital. Always did the trick.

I have found a place in Canada that tests drugs. They have tested the hyaluronic acid pills by Umary, and they DO indeed have Diclofenac in them. 45-50% of the pill is Diclofenac.

I do not know the amount. However, I had very serious 'overdosing' symptoms from it which I why I ended up researching it. I actually thought (based on my doctor's assessment of my situation) that it might have been laced with cocaine. But it's not!

You can go to Get Your Drugs Tested. They have a website. Go to the results page, and in the RESULTS search box put in the word Diclofenac. Some pictures will pop up... click on the images and compare them to your Umary pills and you will see the results.

Their search system is based on drugs, not on brands or pill names. So you have to search Diclofenac.

In Canada oral Diclofenac is illegal without a prescription. So this is a really big deal to me. The picture attached is what you will see on the website I noted above.

I hope someone finds this helpful. 😊

My sister has long standing chronic back pain. She gave Umary two months--at the recommendation of her PCP. It did nothing for her. My knee caps bother me--pain when going up/down stairs--so I thought I would give it a try. It worked in three days. It was wonderful. After about two weeks of taking it, I started to get some symptoms similar to gastritis. I finally went to Amazon to read the reviews. Even though most of them were good, the bad ones scared me. I stopped taking it, and my pain returned. I then talked to my PCP a few weeks later about Umary. They have signs hanging in the office telling patients not to take it--mainly because of what might be in it that's not listed on the container. My PCP thinks it might be a steroid. I knew it was too good to be true.
