Brief Summary
|
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, chronic, progressive, skeletal, and degenerative disorder that commonly affects the knee joint which causes the disability of elderly people in developed countries. Curcuma longa, the rhizome from which the curcuminoids are extracted and purified, has been traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory agent in many Ayurvedic medicines for several years. Curcuminoids possess significant anti-inflammatory activity by interacting with many inflammatory processes. Several OA trials have been conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of curcumin-based formulations in alleviating the symptoms of pain and inflammation associated with OA. The results of these studies have indicated that the natural approach was superior to prescription drugs on pain parameters and if given on top of prescription medicine, it reduced the symptoms of knee OA. Decreased joint pain and improvement in joint function were observed in OA patients involved in the studies. A significant improvement of clinical and biochemical endpoints was also observed with the use of bioavailable curcumin. The proposed study is to validate the clinical data for the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Turmeric Lemonade Energy Drink (Bioactive Curcumin + Green Tea + Ginger + Lemon + Lime) in subject with moderate OA of Knee. |
