Joint
Nikken Wellness Kenzen
Overview
Nikken Wellness Kenzen Joint aims to support joint health through a combination of cetyl esters, glucosamine sulfate, MSM, and Boswellia. However, key ingredients like glucosamine sulfate, MSM and Boswellia are underdosed. The inclusion of a proprietary 'High Potency CM Complex' also makes it difficult to fully evaluate the product's potential effectiveness. More robust clinical trials are needed to support the claims of improved mobility and joint health.
The Good
Contains Glucosamine and MSM: Ingredients known for potential joint health benefits.
Includes Boswellia: Which has anti-inflammatory properties.
Easy to Use: Softgel form makes it convenient to take.
The Bad
Lack of robust clinical evidence: Many ingredients lack comprehensive human trials.
Proprietary blend issues: 'High Potency CM Complex' prevents accurate dosage assessment of individual components.
Cetyl Myristoleate Safety Concerns: Limited safety data; EFSA has deemed available data insufficient.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking joint health support, active adults, older adults
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or have a pre-existing medical condition without consulting a doctor.
