I know I would! Ironic then, saying that, that the Google ads that appear on this post are for glucosamine and chondroitin...

Hyuluronic acid, beside the above-mentioned glucosamine hydrochloride, is another molecule that is encapsuled and widely sold. By confusing the fact of these molecules and vitamins with their effects following oral administration, the companies are just creating big illusions as well as business opportunities. But don't worry too much - illusions are often, if not always, why we buy something. This is not the only case in which pharmaceutical companies relate functioning biomolecules with ones we eat.
