Glucosamine and chondroitin taken in combination with FruiteX-B show fast-acting joint relief, study finds
The results align with previous studies published earlier this year and in 2012
Glucosamine and chondroitin, two joint support supplements widely-used together, remain the subject of open discussion owing to mixed efficacy results. In spite of previously performed clinical studies, there has been no definitive evidence of any substantial effects of these two ingredients.
But a study published in The Journal of Aging Research and Clinical Practices examined the effects of FruiteX-B with a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin compared with glucosamine and chondroitin alone on joint health and flexibility. Outcome measures included the widely-used WOMAC and McGill questionnaires, standard indices of joint and flex comfort.
Over 14 days, subjects in the FruiteX-B, glu-cosamine, and chondroitin group experienced a 24% improvement in WOMAC scores and a 25% improvement in McGill scores. Subjects taking the glucosamine/chondroitin combination alone did not experience any significant improvements.
Statistics were independently reviewed by the Department of Statistics, School of Information and Computer Science, University of California at Irvine.
These study results align with previous studies published earlier this year and in 2012. In all instances, FruiteX-B delivered significant, fast-acting improvement, according to supplier FutureCeuticals.
