I have had breathing issues for years.... sleep apnea, asthma, allergies, I can't get enough exercise due to neuropathy in both legs.

Recently I began taking a powder form of high molecular hyaluronic acid. I mix the powder with distilled water in a 1% ratio. The HA forms a slight gel; I then mix an ounce or two once daily with any beverage and drink it.

HA is beginning to be used to treat asthma at the Cleveland Clinic, and I suspect COPD will be included in the near future. The liquid form, I am told, is better then the capsules since it gets into the blood stream quicker. It has helped me to the point I no longer need the rescue inhaler as often, and my lungs feel more clear. There are several sources online for bulk HA powder, and it is not expensive. I buy mine through Bulk Supplements in Henderson, NV.
