How to Extract Hyaluronic Acid

The comb of a chicken or rooster contains pain-relieving material. The comb is the spiky red extensions on top of a chicken's head, and is the source of hyaluronic acid. When injected, hyaluronic acid provides relief from joint pain. If injected every five days, the acid lessens symptoms caused by osteoarthritis. Next time you have joint pain, remember to thank a chicken for providing the relief that you need.
