HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hyaluronic Acid by Nature's Lab
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This supplement has 4 active ingredients. Chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid are both compounds your body uses naturally—chondroitin is found in cartilage, and hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and cushion in joints and skin.
Hydrolyzed collagen type II is a broken-down form of collagen, a structural protein in connective tissue and skin. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound.
The capsule also contains a few inactive ingredients: hypromellose (a capsule binder), rice flour, and magnesium stearate.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Chondroitin is possibly effective for cataracts and osteoarthritis, though evidence is mixed. Hyaluronic acid is possibly effective for dry eye and venous leg ulcers (slower-healing wounds in the legs).
Hydrolyzed collagen type II is possibly effective for aging skin and dry skin, though it appears possibly ineffective for muscle strength. For other uses listed—like aging skin, allergic rhinitis, or sexual dysfunction—the evidence is insufficient to rate, meaning we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works.
We hold no effectiveness data on MSM.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chondroitin sulfate is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though quality varies. The most common oral side effects are mild—abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, and nausea—but there have been rare reports of liver damage (hepatotoxicity).
Skin reactions like swelling, hair loss, and rash have also been reported, particularly when chondroitin is combined with glucosamine; a rare case of photosensitization (abnormal sun sensitivity) and asthma worsening have been documented. Hyaluronic acid and collagen are generally well tolerated orally.
Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding: chondroitin safety data is insufficient—the facts advise against it in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Hyaluronic acid safety data is insufficient; the facts advise oral supplements only if your doctor recommends it.
Hydrolyzed collagen isn't well studied in pregnancy; talk with your doctor before using. Little safety data exists for breastfeeding; caution is advised.
We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on MSM.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner (anticoagulant), check your medications with the tool on this page before taking this product—chondroitin sulfate may increase the blood-thinning effect and raise your INR. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is most relevant if you're interested in joint or skin health, though the evidence for some uses is mixed. If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, check with your doctor or pharmacist first—chondroitin may interact.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding? Discuss this with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially chondroitin.

Formula
Hyaluronic Acid functions as a "space filler", providing moisture-filled cushioning between cells, which is vital in the production and maintenance of collagen and cartilage. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic source of sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of collagen, the main structural component of cartilage and connective tissue. BioCell Collagen is multi-patented, scientifically-substantiated ingredient that promotes active joints, youthful looking skin, and healthy connective tissues.

Hyaluronic Acid by Nature's Lab Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Hyaluronic Acid by Nature's Lab contains chondroitin sulfate, which has documented interactions with blood thinners.
The most serious concern is with warfarin (Coumadin): chondroitin taken with glucosamine may increase warfarin's blood-thinning effects and raise your INR (a measure of how thin your blood is). The effect of chondroitin alone is less clear, but the combination warrants caution.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other ingredients—hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen type II, and BioCell Collagen—have no interactions documented in our data. We were unable to check MSM, as we hold no interaction data for it.
If you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, run your medications through the interaction checker on this page before starting this product. Your own doctor or pharmacist should review your complete medication list.
