Summary

The study evaluates analgesic, antiinflammatory and metabolic effects of a supplement Epigenome-Antivir (extracts of glycyrrhiza roots, hippophae rhamnoides leaves, curcumin, green tea, and vitamin C) combined with acupuncture in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and metabolic syndrome.

Detailed description

Epigenome-Antivir components have long been used in traditional medicine and have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory properties both in vitro and in vivo.
