Bone - Joint Support
Eclectic Institute
Overview
The effectiveness of this product for specific bone and joint support is largely unproven due to the absence of well-researched, direct-acting bone and joint ingredients (like Glucosamine or Chondroitin) and the use of a proprietary blend. While the individual herbal ingredients offer general health benefits (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory), their direct impact on bone and joint health at the unspecified doses within a 390mg blend is questionable. The formulation claims 'fresh freeze-dried' ingredients, which may preserve some bioactivity, but specific concentrations are not disclosed.
The Good
Utilizes natural, plant-based ingredients.
Ingredients like Nettle, Watercress, and Parsley provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for general wellness.
Bladderwrack provides iodine, beneficial for thyroid health.
The Bad
Efficacy for bone and joint support is not well-substantiated by scientific evidence for the chosen ingredients.
Proprietary blend makes it impossible to determine individual ingredient dosages.
Horsetail may pose a risk of thiamine deficiency, especially with long-term use or higher doses.
