Description
Evidence Tier · Mixed Results
Turmeric root and 95% curcuminoid extract with glucosamine, chondroitin, boswellia, ginger and BioPerine.
What It Does
Supports joint comfort and mobility.*
How It Works
Curcumin modulates NF-κB and COX-2 signaling. Piperine from black pepper slows curcumin metabolism and raises blood levels.
Why This Form
Standardized curcuminoids with piperine for absorption, combined with the joint ingredients most studied in humans.
Clinical Evidence
A meta-analysis of randomized trials examined turmeric extracts for joint comfort.¹ The GAIT trial at the University of Utah tested glucosamine and chondroitin over 24 weeks.²
What The Evidence Does Not Show
GAIT found no overall benefit for glucosamine or chondroitin over placebo, with a possible effect in a subgroup. Curcumin trials are generally small. Contains shellfish.
