Question: I'm 76, 11 years ago I had a total left hip replacement, and now the right hip is going; I dread going through another hip operation. I've heard that Hyaluronic Acid helps in the regeneration of cartilage? What do you think, is it helpful, is it safe

Brief Answer:
Yes, this is safe and really helps!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the hip difficulties and the eventual replacement. Hyaluronic acid is good for cartilage regeneration. It is safe and normally found in the body and helps with joints. Feel free to take it as it has no interactions with several drugs. It has no interaction with naproxen and you can safely take it. It is best described as a supplement!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
