Has anyone tried Umary Hialuronica Acidio from Mexico?

Hi @jixster @johnbishop @bws @katiebee @jimbo44 @formerpaa70 @soud @casaruby @casaruby @candislee @megz @kmekate707 @marvflo4433 @sjsanderson @idojnodnal @dotom. I appreciate the healthy questioning that you have shared about Umary (hyaluronic acid).

When considering complementary or alternative treatments, be open-minded yet skeptical. Learn about the potential benefits and risks. Keep in mind that natural substances can also have toxicities, adverse side effects and treatment interactions. Supplements are not regulated and can be marketed without rigorous clinical testing.

As a moderator of this forum, I've noticed in the past month that our spam filters have caught several sellers trying to post to the community. This raises a red flag for me. It appears it is a hot item for profiteers.

Thank you, @cabo63 for sending a sample to Get Your Drugs Tested https://getyourdrugstested.com/ to inform members here.

there are two types of Umary available on Mex Amazon. Original and enhanced.
the original doesn't contain Nettle (ortiga). It is up to you to decide if you want the effects of the nettle. You must look closely when ordering to see the difference.

I have had a Umary pill tested at a drug checking clinic here in New Zealand. When you add up the listed ingredients, it’s 100mg short so I don’t know if Voltaren (Diclofenic) is that amount or not. I haven’t had any side effects taking Umary so far and it has helped immensely with PMR. Interested in what others think..,

Non steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs (NSAIDS) like diclofenac are not to be taken with prednisone because of the high risk of developing stomach or gut ulcers. It can also cause heart and kidney problems in older people. Ask your doctor about taking it with prednisone.

Thank you for this info. Diclofenic isn’t listed in the ingredients on the bottle is it?

@katiebee can you please post the breakdown of the results you were given? This helps me immensely as well.

@joybannister it isn’t listed as an ingredient which is why this thread started. The results of the pain relief are so good people were skeptical that something else was in it. Many of us are trying to find out exactly what else is in it that helps so much.

I find it interesting that the back of the bottle doesn’t include some of the ingredients listed in the product specs in the Amazon listing. So how does Amazon type out this in their description (copied and pasted):
Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Colagen, Turmeric, Nettle, Chondroitin, Vitamin E, Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Carbonate, MSM, Ash, Guacima, White Oak
However some of these ingredients aren’t listed on the back of the bottle? I did notice this morning when I click on previous Amazon orders the Umary I purchased before is no longer available. I’m guessing it is being pulled from the shelves. Question is why? There has to be something else in it that makes it so effective. I feel so good after one single dose that it mimicked what being on prednisone felt like for me. But perhaps it is diclofenac and since that’s something I was never prescribed i am unaware of its efficacy. .

joybannister, No it is not. There is only an ingredient called "excipients," which could be any number of nefarious additives. Interestingly, on my bottle, there is a white sticker with the ingredient list pasted over the bottle label. The white sticker ingredients does not say "excipients;" but if you peel that off, the bottle label does. This seems to indicate intentional subterfuge.

The screen shots I posted is the only info I was given. No breakdown as such. Just that Diclofenic is the reactive ingredient. Bit of a quandary whether to carry on taking it. It’s been such a help, I’m reluctant to stop!

I took diclofenac for arthritic pain before being diagnosed with PMR but it caused serious stomach problems. I am taking a collagen with hyaluronic acid otc supplement and it seems to be alleviating some pain.
