Benefits
Joint comfort
In a large randomized trial, combined chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine eased knee osteoarthritis pain comparably to a standard anti-inflammatory drug, supporting the formula's joint-comfort positioning.
Cartilage support
Glucosamine and chondroitin supply building blocks of cartilage and help protect it from breakdown.
Joint lubrication
The hyaluronic-acid component supports the cushioning, lubricating quality of joint fluid.
Mechanism of action
Cartilage building blocks
Glucosamine and chondroitin provide raw materials for proteoglycans and support the balance between cartilage building and breakdown.
Anti-inflammatory and lubrication support
Chondroitin calms joint inflammation while the hyaluronic acid supports the viscosity of synovial fluid.
Clinical trials
Multicentre randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority trial of combined chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine versus celecoxib in knee osteoarthritis. (Hochberg et al. 2016, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases)
Adults with painful knee osteoarthritis.
The glucosamine-chondroitin combination reduced pain comparably to celecoxib, supporting the combination Acti-Joint is built around.
