I agree.  Everything I'm seeing on hyaluronic acid says it is not absorbed
if taken orally... hence, the injections.

Here's one reference that says we don't know if this substance is safe for
breastfeeding mothers... http://www.drugs.com/cons/Hyaluronic_acid.html

Is hyaluronic acid a by-product of hyaluronidase or related in some other
way?  I'm thinking it must be.  Pregnant women produce their own
hyaluronidase... it's one of the hormones that makes the joints nice and
loose so the baby can move through the pelvis.
