Summary

The objective of this trial is to determine the efficacy of oral administration of a bioactive compound (EPP) in healthy individuals with mild knee joint discomfort.

Detailed description

It is estimated that the incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) is increasing exponentially worldwide, with serious consequences, not only on the quality of life and functionality of the subjects, but also a high burden on the social and health care systems of the countries. Existing treatments for OA are either invasive, and therefore risky for the subject and high cost, or have side effects and cannot be maintained over time. Therefore, there is a high demand to find effective and safe therapies to prevent and/or treat OA, such as functional ingredients or compounds present in food. In this regard, our experimental bioactive compound has been developed and shown to be safe and effective in reducing joint pain and improving quality of life in a previous study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the consumption of our bioactive compound, in healthy Spanish individuals with mild joint discomfort in the knee.
