According to a recent study, the curcumin supplement produced by Sabinsa and a supplement derived from black pepper have a very significant effect in the management of knee arthritis.

In this study, 53 participants with mild knee arthritis were randomly assigned and given these two supplements or placebo for more than 8 weeks. The results showed that the drug group had significant improvements in arthritis indexes such as VAS (visual analog score), WOMAC (osteoarthritis index of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities) and lpfi (lekena pain function index).

curcuminIt is an effective anti-inflammatory agent and free radical scavenger, and free radicals are easy to cause oxidative stress, and then develop and evolve into osteoarthritis. This extract from black pepper has been patented and registered as a trademark by Sabinsa company. Clinical studies have confirmed its safety and effectiveness as a fortifier for the biological efficiency of several dietary ingredients such as curcumin.

In this study, the formulation of curcumin and black pepper extract mentioned by the researchers improved bioavailability through several mechanisms, including inhibition of curcumin glucuronidation in the small intestine and increasing the bioavailability of curcumin in the liver.

According to the plant lifting bridge media, the current research shows that in terms of rapid response, lpfi, vas or WOMAC score, the effect of this study is better than that of previous similar studies. In this way, this study has laid a good foundation for larger clinical research in the future.
