Flavocoxid for Osteoarthritis: Efficacy and Safety
OPINION Dietary habits have been shown to influence the metabolic and inflammatory processes involved in Osteoarthritis (OA). Lower intake of antioxidants is associated with increased incidence of OA while an increased intake of flavonoids and omega-3 polyunsaturated acids decreases production of inflammatory mediators and the incidence of OA. This report will focus on the detailed preclinical and clinical investigation of flavocoxid, an anti-inflammatory medical food composition marketed for the metabolic management of OA.
