Ursolic Acid has anything tried this yet?

[Elsmum80]

My boyfriend is really trying to figure out how to help me just feel better and have a better quality of life he hates seeing me in so much pain. After doing a lot of research he has read that Ursolic acid is a big help for people with MS so I am waiting for the vitamins to get here. Everyone I have asked doesn't know anything about this. But everything he had read seems really good. I am just curious if anyone else has tried it and how they feel about it. Regardless I am going to try it however I would like to know if anyone has any experience with it and how it turned out for them.

Ty for asking! I had not heard of it as a supplement for MS. I looked it up and it seems to be something already being used for gaining muscle strength in 6 week cycles.

I've never heard of it so looked it up. I could only find a couple of double blinded studies that showed no benefit on muscle building in men. Other studies were all done in mice, and the only references to MS were relating to possible effects in mice that had been given the pretend MS (EAE) that they give mice so they can study them.

As ursolic acid is found in the skins of produce, there may well be more benefit in eating whole fruit without peeling them and then you'd get the benefit of all the rest of the nutrients in fruit.

I'm not familiar with that but I take Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mgs.twice a day and it helps me. I no longer need to lie down every afternoon for a nap.

Check it out and let me know if it helps.

Best Wishes,
